GIVING TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 29

Hello Faith,

The “Great Commission” directs us to demonstrate our concern for the eternity of souls by leading people to know God through Jesus Christ. Sometimes our obedience is a very public testimonial of words. Most often, however, it is a testimonial of action. Peter writes:

“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (1 Peter 3:15)

No one will ask us about the hope that we have when we appear no more hopeful than others of the world. There is something about the way we act, the values we practice, and the sacrifices we make for others that compels people to say something to us.

How peculiar we look when we practice an unfamiliar love in a world of sin. When we sacrifice without reward, when we give without getting, and when we persevere with an enduring commitment towards others, even when we aren’t liked by others, we still stand out. And when we stand out, people will want to know how we do it and why we do it. In that way, the door opens to talk about the hope that we have – the Savior of our soul.

At stake in every battle or debate is a soul, created by God and redeemed by Christ. No matter how distressing an issue may be, it always resides within the larger context of eternity, both for those who advocate error and for those of us who object to it.

Consider this point in the way we debate the hot issues of our time. Both sides often equally practice the cancel culture. We act as if this life is all there is. We carry on like we must win every argument, win every election, and set ourselves up as the oracles of hope in a hopeless world.

Measure your words and actions carefully. Get involved and be a force of good. In the process, build a bridge and not a wall between those who need the truth, and you as the keeper of the truth.

Christian Life Resources is devoted to providing Bible-based counsel on life and family issues. We do that with a ministry of truth, a ministry of love, a ministry of action – all focused on the heart rightly calibrated in its relationship with God. When you support us, we’re able to be there when somebody calls facing a serious life crisis. GivingTuesday is your chance to be there for others. Please join us in supporting this work – one heart at a time – to the glory of God.

CENTRAL AFRICA MEDICAL MISSION (CAMM) NEWSLETTER

Dear Supporters of Central Africa Medical Mission (CAMM), 

October was a month dedicated to women in Malawi. Lusungu Mwambeye, Clinic Administrator of the Malawi Lutheran Mobile Clinic, shares with us how women play an important role in the Malawian society along with the need to focus attention on health and education of young girls. In addition, Mother’s Day was celebrated on October 15th. It is exciting to hear about how our clinics work to assist women and their families in preventative healthcare and support their spirituality as well.

For those of us in the United States, we have a celebration this month of Thanksgiving. I am personally thankful for all of you as supporters of CAMM. It is individuals like you who have supported CAMM’s work financially, prayed for our clinic staff and patients, and spread the word about CAMM with your friends and family. Your continued efforts do not go unnoticed. I pray to God with a thankful heart for all you do. May God continue to support you in your efforts. 

Special prayer requests can be found at www.camm.us/contact-women-corner/prayers with a focus this month on Malfred Mambwe, House Keeper & Wound Dresser/Lab Assistant, and Mayase Banda, Nurse/Midwife, at Lutheran Mission Rural Health Center, Zambia. Please add these individuals to your prayer list this month. 

As you are planning your upcoming mission donations, please consider Central Africa Medical Mission. I would be happy to discuss this and provide any materials you need for your school, church or community.

We appreciate your continued prayers and support!
