Disciples of All Nations: How Cross Cultural Interns Are Advancing the Great Commission Global Report Dedications One for One Campaign
A Note from Don Lough, Jr. In Philippians 1:3–5, Paul writes, “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you… because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” I am so thankful for each of you and your faithfulness to the ministry of Word of Life. Because of friends like you, we are seeing lives forever changed by the good news of Jesus Christ. In this issue of The Word of Life Experience, you’ll read stories of believers who are being used by God to advance the gospel, both in the United States and around the world. I hope these stories of ministry happening near and far give you renewed encouragement to serve Christ no matter where you are.
