    A Christian youth festival in Egypt<\/a>, the sixth annual OneThing<\/em> festival, took place in Wadi el Natroun October 1-3 with around 7,000 people attending each day and more watching broadcasts (SAT-7).<\/p>\n

    Greetings!<\/p>\n

    In last week\u2019s edition of Missions Catalyst<\/em><\/a>, Shane Bennett mentioned that his social media feeds predict \u201cthe imminent demise of civilization or at least the destruction of all good people.\u201d Mine, too! Consider, though, that Heaven may not measure progress on Earth the way we often do.<\/p>\n

    When I am overwhelmed with the news of Earth I am always encouraged by the stories of the spread of God\u2019s Word. Though stifled in some places, overall it is gaining, growing, and glorious in its progress. As this week\u2019s stories remind us, the Word is spreading in print, song, and through the testimonies of believers; as Paul said, \u201cyou are our epistle\u201d (2 Corinthians 3:2).<\/p>\n

    A collection of more than a dozen good news stories about caring for refugees<\/a> really inspired me, so much so that I think I might go serve them myself!<\/p>\n

    Want to know where the refugees are going week by week? Check out this interactive map<\/a> from the International Office of Migration.<\/p>\n

    His truth is marching on!
