A Note from Don Lough, Jr. 85 th Anniversary Banquets The Ripple Effect of Open-Air Evangelism Alumni Updates God Doesn't Waste Pain Winter Camp
A Note from Don Lough, Jr. In Colossians 3:23–24, we are reminded: “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” This powerful truth speaks to the heart of what it means to live a life of simple faithfulness, all for the Lord. At Word of Life, we are continually blessed to see how God uses ordinary moments and faithful obedience to accomplish extraordinary things. Whether it's through camps, Bible Institutes, youth ministries, or international missions, God is transforming lives in ways we never could have imagined. In this issue of The Word of Life Experience , you’ll discover stories of everyday believers who bring the light of Christ to those around them. As you explore this issue, I pray you are encouraged to continue sharing the hope of Jesus in your own sphere of influence. Thank you for being part of the Word of Life family and for your commitment to the gospel.
