Dear Friends,

A lot has happened during the past two months. There is so much good news to share with you that I don’t know where to begin and how to keep it to the point. I have traveled quite a bit during the past weeks and participated in a variety of IGL-related ministries. Every single one of them is worth reporting. Every time, with the passing of every single experience, every single story, and every testimony, I would keep telling myself as I heard them, “I have to share this with my friends and prayer partners, but do we have the time for all of it?”

The women’s teams also had a very fruitful time of ministry in August and September. I am so glad that we decided not to cancel any events, because the women were very anxious to have these gatherings. They came from all over the nation, including some of the most difficult areas, risking their lives. The August group from the U.S. was led by Belinda Kendall from the Indian Creek Community Church in Olathe, Kansas. 

The annual WWM General Assembly was held in Salem in September. Our thanks to Hudson Community Chapel and the team of women who stepped in to help us. There were two major events between the 3rd and 13th of ... [more]
