Dear Ministry Partner:

“Then He said to them, ‘Watch out!  Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’ … ‘Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?’ … ‘But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.’”
Luke 12:15, 25, 31 (NIV)

It is hard to watch the news, because there are so many tragedies and disasters happening around the world.  It seems that we have been hearing about major earthquakes, storms, and ongoing wars almost every day … as well as people facing significant economic challenges.

How easily we can miss the point, and place our hope in human beings or things that will eventually disappear.  Luke 12 offers important lessons for times like these – where we learn about God’s invitation to trust, and bring our anxieties to Him.

At our September Virtual Update Meetings (VUMs), we will continue to talk and pray about a topic that is very important to the FEBC international family: the next generation.  We will also listen and learn from another great ministry partner that works alongside FEBC, in many of the nations where we serve.

Sansa – Media Mission the Messengers – is a Finnish Christian mission organization that is committed to sharing the Gospel through electronic media.  In collaboration with global media partners – including FEBC as one of its key partners – Sansa’s primary goal is to bring God’s Word to unreached communities, and support Christians in their journey of faith.

Geographically, much of their focus is on the 10/40 Window area – stretching from North Africa, the Middle East, across Asia to Japan – where Christians are few, or church activities may be limited.  Sansa also places particular emphasis on countries where access to information is restricted or controlled, or where socioeconomic factors limit people’s access to information.

As we gather, we will hear stories, share ideas, and pray together for the next generation … as well as for the ministry outreach around the world.  We will also pray that the fall Friendship Tours will build meaningful connections, and inspire people to take part in God’s global mission.

Your presence matters, and so do your prayers.  Together, we are helping the next generation encounter Jesus, and inviting others into something far bigger than ourselves.

Thank you for walking with us in this global Gospel mission – we look forward to seeing you in September.
