These ten people in Costa Rica were thrilled to recently receive their very own Bible! We work in many communities, and through our church planters and also local pastors, meet many people who would like a Bible. We don't have enough Bibles to give everyone, but when a person has a special interest in spiritual things and would like to learn more about God, we will provide a Bible to them. By God's grace, and with the help of many partners, we've already distributed more than 15,000 Bibles across several Central American countries. Bibles in hands = touched lives.

We need your help to do more! Please consider partnering with us so that more people can read God's Word for themselves and gain comfort, courage and faith from Jesus! Visit our website www.wingsoflife.net to learn more about how you can help.

Meet this beautiful soul from Guatemala, joyfully reading her Bible! In a land where clean water is scarce, the thirst for God's Word runs just as deep. People here are eager to learn and grow in faith, finding hope amidst challenges. This young girl’s early interest inspires us all! At Water for Life, we’re committed to bringing both physical and spiritual nourishment. While providing clean water through wells, we also support communities in their hunger for scripture. In Guatemala, faith shines bright—over 60% of the population identifies as Christian, and many embrace the Bible when they have the opportunity to have one. Join us in making a difference! Your support helps drill wells and share God’s love. Every drop of water and every word of hope counts. Visit www.guatemalawells.com to donate or learn more. Together, let’s quench their thirst—both for water and the Word!

Musaab* and Me

Musaab clicked on our add for Bible studies several months ago. Now he has twice hosted our student on mission trips and has brought them to speak to schools, villages, and even a madrasa. He is learning quickly and wrote me yesterday that he praises God for the chance to spend time with our youthful witnesses.

Termites and Needs

When we printed our Ministry of Healing books last year, we looked forward to putting them into thousands of homes.

But when I opened the storage to fetch some boxes for a canvassing campaign, I was greeted by a distressing sight: termites had attacked the inventory. Boxes were falling apart and books had tunnels and pits and termite scat.

I began the laborious process of cleaning the covers and sorting out the damaged ones, and killing termites.

While I was working, a local man stopped to ask me what I was doing. I explained that "poka" (Bangla for "bugs") had caused havoc.

Now please understand that giving a Christian book to a Muslim is not always easy. Individuals are suspicious. Why would you give it for free? What is your agenda?

But when I said to my Inquisitor that I could not sell these damaged books and asked if he would like one of them, he gladly took it.

And that pattern continued over and over! The blessed Termites made it easy to give away books. And the poka had not eaten deep into the books, so only the margin was corrupted. The legible part was potent still.

So I thank God for the "poka."

Our team recently finished a multi week health outreach effort among the indigenous people for whom we labor. It was incredible to see God touch the lives of countless families, children and adults as they learned principles of hygiene, proper eating, drinking, rest and so much more.

Our missionaries took the time to also train and equip local volunteers to assist them in these health outreaches. The district pastor and his wife also helped us.

Our missionary effort among the poor and needy is only possible because of your prayers and support.

Melissa Das will be one of the first graduates of our mission training program. She wanted to attend a school of the prophets since before BE WELL existed, and since it started she has been a constant force to promote a knowledge of the present truth in Bangladesh. Recently she has accepted responsibility as the school registrar and youth camp coordinator, jobs reserved for capable and faithful persons of experience.

Picture this: A vibrant Guatemalan sun bringing heat and thirst, while at the same time kids are splashing in clean water, with smiles lighting up the dusty village. That’s the scene we’re chasing at Water for Life. We’re a crew of dreamers and doers, drilling wells to bring safe water to rural communities. It’s gritty work, but those smiles and giggles? Worth every drop of sweat.

Jesus had a soft spot for kids, saying, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14). We take that to heart, ensuring every child we serve has a shot at health, hope and life eternal. Join us on this journey by simply visiting www.guatemalawells.com to help this mission. See, when we give kids clean water, we’re not just quenching thirst; we’re sparking joy and futures that have a better chance to shine bright.

How has God blessed you in your life?

I find myself asking that question as our team launches the Advent Impact website. What part do I play in bringing the suffering and pain here on earth to a close? Do I have something in my hand that I can use to make a difference in someone's life?

As we bring more ministries into the Advent Impact family, I get excited about what God has called us to create. Our prayer is that this platform will connect hearts to ministries in a way that engages us all in mission work in ways we never thought possible. Maybe you aren't a missionary, but you can pray or provide of your resources to support missions.

We have many ideas for how this platform will grow.  We are actively working on donation support so you can support your favorite ministries in one place.  You will be able to join the prayer team for your favorite ministries and be updated as prayer needs come forward.  We are working hard on video support so you can watch media from around the world.  God has big plans, and I invite you to come back often to read stories and let God show you where you fit into worldwide service.

As you may imagine, community work and church planting isn't always easy. It takes a lot of hard work, prayer and support from many individuals to really make an impact in people's lives. Each time we see the Holy Spirit work in a person's life, we're thrilled. When that person starts to respond to the Spirit of God and ultimately make a decision to commit their life to Christ, we are ecstatic.

This gentleman was one of several who committed their life to Christ at the conclusion of a campaign we conducted at one of our church plant sites recently. Not only is our team thrilled, but we understand that a few angels in heaven sang a very special song during his baptism. "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 15:10

Water for Life: A Closer Look at God’s Call to Bring Clean Water to the World

At Water for Life, we believe every drop of water tells a story—a story of hope, transformation, and God’s unending love for His creation. This collage tells the truth in a powerful way, snapshots of communities touched by the gift of clean water. Pause a moment, zoom in, and see the faces of those whose lives have been changed by something as simple, yet profound, as a sip of safe water. You are invited to look, reflect, and respond to God’s call to love our neighbors through action.

The Bible reminds us in Isaiah 41:17, “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.” God’s heart beats for those in need, and He calls us, His people, to be His hands and feet in answering their cries. For millions around the world, access to clean water isn’t a given—it’s a daily struggle.

Contaminated water sources lead to illness, keep children out of school, and trap families in cycles of poverty. Yet, through the work of Water for Life, we see God moving, bringing wells and hope to villages that have prayed for change.

As Christians, we are called to reflect Christ’s love in practical ways. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 25:35, “For I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.” Providing clean water is a tangible way to live out this command. At Water for Life, every well drilled is a declaration of God’s love and a step toward fulfilling the Great Commission. Clean water opens doors to share the Gospel, as communities see the love of Christ through the actions of His followers.

But the work is far from done. Over 700 million people worldwide still lack access to clean water, and God is calling us to respond.

This is where you come in. We challenge you to take three steps this week to join Water for Life in this mission:

1. Watch and Share a Video or Image: Take five minutes to let the stories sink in. Share it on your social media or with your church group to spread the word about God’s work through Water for Life. Your voice can inspire others to act.

2. Pray for the Thirsty: Commit to praying daily for those without clean water and for the work of organizations like Water for Life. Ask God to provide resources, open hearts, and guide our efforts to bring water and the Gospel to those in need.

3. Give Generously: Consider making a donation of your time, treasures or talent to Water for Life. You can also organize a fundraiser with your church or small group to multiply your impact.

What does your day to day life look like?

Work, shopping, school, driving on the interstate?

Here is just a small snapshot of what our church planters in Central America do on a daily basis. They are connecting with people in the community, giving bible studies, praying, encouraging, distributing necessities, traveling, planning outreach activities and more. Our mission is to move people closer to Jesus and towards better health.

Would you add one small item to your daily routine? Would you pray for our church planters and the people they serve? We would be incredibly grateful.
