“But the word of God is not bound.” (2 Timothy 2:9)
This verse has kept us going this year. No matter how much 2020 has changed all of our plans, jobs, and our very lives, God’s word cannot be stopped. The gospel cannot be quarantined! And indeed, we know that God’s word has touched the lives of many international students this year. Five hundred of these students are signed up for our virtual Vision Conference happening later this week. Naomi and I will be right there with them. We’ll lead a small group to help internationals learn about God and the Bible’s answers to life’s big questions.
This year has opened many new opportunities for us to do ministry. We’ve been able to reach through computer screens and offer a comprehensive training curriculum for Christians called “Honor Restored.” These training videos equip believers to share the gospel with people from an Honor/Shame perspective: primarily students from East Asia, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Understanding how Jesus takes away our shameful brokenness is a lightbulb moment for these students. You can watch this entire series here:
As 2020 draws to a close, you may be thinking about year-end giving. Please consider making an extra gift to our ministry (if you haven’t already done so). Year-end giving is a substantial part of what makes our work with Bridges International possible.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership in ministry.
