MISSION UPDATE
M.D*, a missionary that Pender supports with our faith promise giving, works with Arab focused media, using radio, TV, etc. to provide an open door for the Gospel to proclaim Christ to the people in North Africa, the Middle East and the Gulf. A website continues to offer the hope of the Gospel to many people in these areas. He has received a lot of good messages with many questions which he has been able to respond to and was able to link them with Christian workers in their respective locations. Some show a good level of understanding and a desire to follow the Lord in their local communities. Sam* writes: (“I believe in what Christ did to deliver us from eternal punishment and I believe that whoever believes in Him has received eternal life in His presence. I am convinced of what the Lord Jesus has done for me”.) M.D* is working on some discipleship materials, adapting them to be used on the website. This type of interactive study is not very common but believe it will be beneficial for those in isolated situations who want to study the Bible. For example Rae* writes: (“Thank you for sending me the article about the Christian faith, I read it and then many others on your site.
I benefited from them and now I would like to be able to go to church and talk with a Christian there. Would that be possible?”)
Please pray that many will be drawn to the Savior as they hear and read the Gospel through, television, the internet and audio messages as well as correspondence. We are thankful that we can be partners with missionaries such as M.D.*to share in responding to the Great Commission to the Arab world.
