Greetings!
In last week’s edition of Missions Catalyst, Shane Bennett mentioned that his social media feeds predict “the imminent demise of civilization or at least the destruction of all good people.” Mine, too! Consider, though, that Heaven may not measure progress on Earth the way we often do.
When I am overwhelmed with the news of Earth I am always encouraged by the stories of the spread of God’s Word. Though stifled in some places, overall it is gaining, growing, and glorious in its progress. As this week’s stories remind us, the Word is spreading in print, song, and through the testimonies of believers; as Paul said, “you are our epistle” (2 Corinthians 3:2).
A collection of more than a dozen good news stories about caring for refugees really inspired me, so much so that I think I might go serve them myself!
Want to know where the refugees are going week by week? Check out this interactive map from the International Office of Migration.
His truth is marching on!
