Eternity Matters! When we understand the message of God’s word and the temporary nature of this life, we know the reason why we train preachers and teachers. Souls are at stake and the vapor of life is fleeting more quickly than we can express in words. Eternity Matters! We are preparing the hearts and minds of men around the world to share the one message that makes the difference in the lives of those who hear and respond to it.
Reading through the reports this week reveals exactly the power of what we are referring to above. Report after report reveals how the message proclaimed is leading souls to Christ. When we learn of those who obey God’s word, we share in the joy of heaven as these souls are prepared for an eternity that awaits us all. How wonderful it is to know, that while we may never meet this side of heaven, one day we will all rejoice together around the throne of God.
We are now into the first week of the new year and the news from around the world continues to be encouraging. Knowing the facts we are building on from 2014 is an inspiration for what we anticipate in the year ahead. We are eager to see what 2015 has in store, but we are even more eager when we consider the plans we plan to achieve in the months ahead.
Now on to more great news in this week’s reports...
