Praises – Rejoice with us!

v     In each country where BIEM has sponsored summer camps for children and teens, souls have been coming to Christ for salvation. Official reports have not yet arrived from the camp leaders, but BIEM missionaries were on hand to preach and saw a good number of people coming to Jesus!

v     In April we wrote of special financing that BIEM received to enable Ukrainian churches to hold unique services & meals in honor of widows. Church after church has written to say what a blessing these occasions have been. Lonely widows have been amazed that strangers cared enough to hold a dinner for them. Many wept. And some hobbled forward to say a prayer of repentance!

v     This past month, Journey Forth Books in Greenville, SC, published Gunner’s Run, a Christian World War II novel written by BIEM staff member Rick Barry. This story includes the way of salvation and is suitable for believing and non-believing readers. Copies can be purchased through any bookstore, or from the publisher (800-845-5731), or from Rick when he visits your church!

v     In Romania, Fred Canaday is excited to have American missionary Norm Busenitz and his wife starting a school in Satu Mare. The goal of the school is to offer modular courses for training pastors, which would dovetail perfectly with BIEM’s goal of planting churches.
