Writing to encourage Christians living amongst persecution in the Roman Empire, the Apostle Peter urged that they “like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation” (1 Peter 2:2).

F.B. Meyer recognized that the absence of the desire for or faithful provision of biblical truth is the cause of many problems in individual Christian lives and in congregations:

“The sickly condition of so many Christians sets forth a lamentable complaint of the food with which they are supplied. To say nothing of strong meat, they do not even get milk. Hence the church of God too much resembles the wards of a children’s hospital.”

In contrast, I am pleased to report that during his recent visit to Nicaragua to launch the K2:42 program, Raydel was overwhelmed by the participants’ hunger for Scripture. We praise the Lord for the 30 churches EA is now ministering to through our local church partners, and pray that they too may “may grow in respect to salvation” (1 Peter 2:2).

Thank you for your faithful ongoing prayer and financial partnership with us.
