Our global partners express gratitude for your support. Be encouraged! This is our time to trust God and be creative. Thank you for supporting and praying for BrookLink.
In the midst of this season, God remains faithful. Even in uncertain times, you continue to walk with our ministry partners and help them. Learn how you can make a difference in a virtual VBS opportunity. You are needed. Your help is needed, and we are asking you to give generously at this time.
While we have had to curtail our travel plans, the ministry is not standing still. We are committed to our 18 international partnerships, and are using this time to connect with our overseas partners. Our facilitators serve as consultants to those partners. Our vision remains unchanged, because the needs in the global church remain the same.
Much has changed in the world, and in our lives, in a very short time. But some important things have not changed, and we celebrated that this past weekend. Certainly, it was a very unusual Good Friday and Easter Sunday as many observed “safer at home” orders and were unable to gather with their church families. I was thinking about how that first Easter must have been similar to our experience this year.
I pray this message finds you well as we live through these peculiar times. The entire world is impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Church of Christ has an extraordinary and urgent opportunity to minister hope and share “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding.”
Jesus predicted it 2000 years ago, and he’s doing it. In our generation and in many parts of the world, the Church of Christ is growing at unprecedented rates. And at BrookLink we get to be part of that story. What a privilege! Next month Jan Ryder and Leslie Osborne will be training 40+ children’s workers for the Kale Heywet Church in Ethiopia. We are currently halfway through a three-year commitment to equip leaders in the Ethiopian church.
As the new year (and a new decade) dawns, it thrills me to dream of what God may want to do through the ministry of BrookLink. I believe we are entering a new frontier in God’s global missionary enterprise. Training leaders is the next natural focus in those places where the national church is exploding with growth.
Recently we’ve been sharing stories of reaching the nations, why we do it and where we go. The how we do it is because of you. The only way to reach the nations is together, side by side with our supporters. You are the reason we can travel two by two, one invitation and one place at a time. Thank you so much for this privilege you entrust to us year after year for the past ten years!
