August 13
A woman who attended a native ministry’s home church was forced to flee her home, and when she returned, she found her house had been burned down and her neighbor had stolen and sold all of her belongings. Though she was angry for a long time, God helped her learn to forgive and, later, when her neighbor fell ill, she helped him and eventually shared the gospel with him. He apologized for his wrongs and accepted Christ as Savior. “God turned a curse into a blessing and sin into salvation,” the woman said. Your donations help believers share the gospel. Pray they will find joy in the Lord even in difficult circumstances.
“If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.” (2 Corinthans 2:10-11)
