Thank You for your gift to World Mission in support of Rev.’s Gil & Joyce Suh and Rev. Ruth Lemmen. God calls us and our joyful response is to go and make disciples for Him. Through His Spirit, gifts like yours have changed lives in:
Cambodia – A young pastor in Cambodia who was rescued from drugs and street life is teaching in a
Bible school, using skills he gained in leadership training events led by CRWM missionaries. Praise God!
Nigeria – A group of seven teachers are graduating from CRWM’s Educational Care teacher training -the first group of graduates from Nigeria. Now they are seeking ways to share what they have learned with other schools and school staff members.
West Africa – Every day more than 100 people walk through the doors of a ministry center in West Africa. They come for English classes or other forms of tutoring, but all of them are exposed to the Gospel through this ministry.
Your financial support and prayers are greatly appreciated.
Thank you from the Christian Reformed World Missions
