We like to greet you with good news, but this time, we ask you to bring Paulette and her family before the Lord in prayer. They have been battling weakness, pneumonia, and other ugly symptoms characteristic of Covid for over two weeks. Our desire is for God to heal them quickly and to bless them richly.

I met Paulette in March of 2019, after writing her a letter of thanks for the study books I had been gifted by a dear friend. My friend received the books from a conference organized by "Beautiful Gate Translations" in Romania and then gave them to me with the challenge to start a study group. From the 5 books we had at the beginning, God multiplied the work in our church by creating two groups of women, who then hosted one of the BGT conferences in our city which was attended by 40 other leaders who benefited when they also received hundreds of books, distributed through the hands of five women from a small, insignificant church!

This is just one piece of the great puzzle that God created through Paulette - and many other supporters of this ministry - to allow tens of thousands of Christian resources to reach women's hearts and ignite in them an even greater desire to deepen their relationship with Him. Over the course of 19 years, hundreds of leaders have been equipped and encouraged to begin study groups, or continue the women's ministry already in their churches. The work was made easier for these leaders by having on hand the in-depth studies to help other ladies grow in their personal relationship with God, while building healthy friendships. I do not share these figures for vain praise, but to give God glory and express sincere thanks for all that He has done through this wonderful ministry! I also want to show appreciation for Paulette's humble heart; having worked closely with her in these endeavors, I watched closely and marveled at the depth and beauty of her heart! What courage she had to listen to the whisper of the Holy Spirit Who urged her to begin translating the first Bible study into Romanian! Praise God, it did not stop there, but was followed by many different Christian resources which were translated into other languages and the work continues to this day.
