A Note from Don Lough, Jr. Reverb Embracing the God of All Comfort: Ester Warren's Story – Alumnus of the Year Welcoming the New Alumni Class

A Note from Don Lough, Jr. As we step into another vibrant season at Word of Life, our hearts are filled with anticipation for the stories of transformation that will unfold as young people hear the gospel. Through your faithful prayers and support, you are so much a part of this. Notice Paul’s use of the personal pronoun “we” three times in 2 Corinthians 4:1: “Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.” Together, we reach this generation for Christ. In this edition of The Word of Life Experience , we celebrate the incredible ways God is moving within the Word of Life community. As you dive into these pages, I hope you are inspired by the remark- able stories of life-change that have been made possible through your fellowship and friendship in the gospel. Thank you for standing with us – your partnership is invaluable! Be encouraged to press on, moti- vated by seeing a lost world come to know Jesus as their personal Savior.
