Persevering and Praising God



 “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” -James 1:12


This year has certainly had more than its share of challenges, but we cling to the truth that God is good, all the time, especially when life is difficult. We’ve seen the Covid-19 Delta variant arrive and cause heartache, pain and suffering. We’ve also seen brothers and sisters in Christ continue to faithfully serve, translate, and work tirelessly to get God’s Word into every language still waiting for it. We’ve been stretched to serve in more capacities than usual, from Security to Crisis Management to Covid Response teams to teaching extra classes. And through it all, God has faithfully given us the health and strength to persevere. We praise God for how we’ve seen Him working in and through us in 2021. And we look forward in eager expectation to see how He will work in 2022, as we seek to be obedient to serve others here. Please know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers this year, as we know it has been a challenging year everywhere. We have seen so many glimmers of His light in the darkness and pray that you have, too. May we all choose to be vessels through which His light can shine to a weary world.
