Word of Life 2024

“The most liberating thing about being in Christ is the opportunity to live for someone besides yourself. Before Christ, we were slaves to selfishness, but the gospel has given us the ability to live for Christ. So, live in that freedom. Walk by the Spirit, make the gospel your constant meditation, and share the hope you have in Christ with those around you. Be faithful, be obedient, and be steadfast.”

Becca Allard Resident Director of Europe and Argentina

“And so a precious chapter of life comes to a close! How sweet it is that each of you will move forward from a little town in the Adirondacks, dispersing into all corners of the globe with the truth you’ve gained to reach the nations! One day, you will come back together and swap stories of how the Lord redeemed sinful people like you to accomplish His greatest purposes. While you wait, what sort of people ought you to be but people whose hearts are wholly His (2 Peter 3:11, 2 Chronicles 16:9)? It will require humility, patience, and trust, but He has equipped you and it will be worth it. If you will commit to living as though He undeniably always does what is best for us, you will know true contentment, and life with Jesus will be our greatest satisfaction and treasure.”

Jess Webel Resident Director of Asia and England

“A piece of wisdom I strive to live by is simply that God’s will for our lives is our sanctification (1 Thessalonians 4:3). If we truly grasp and believe this, then we will see every single circumstance in life as an act of grace from God to push us toward that goal. Therefore, lean into His gracious refinement no matter how difficult, trusting that in the end you will look more like Jesus!”
