These two pictures from separate graduations in the Dominican Republic this past week represent God’s Word at work. In both cases, the graduates are celebrating three months of study in inductive Bible study and Christian leadership.<\/p>

Our thoughts echo these words of encouragement from the Apostle Paul to the church in Thessalonica,<\/p>

\u201cAnd for this reason we also thank God without ceasing that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.\u201d (1 Thessalonians 2:13)<\/p>

We praise the Lord for moments like these, which remind us of His kindness in permitting us to participate in the equipping of His Church.<\/p>

Hudson Taylor stated, \u201cI have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.\u201d<\/p>

The large-scale discipleship occurring today through EA\u2019s four programs across numerous countries would have been unthinkable 12 years ago. Although it is often difficult, progress is being made by God\u2019s grace and His provision. \u00a0<\/p>

We thank you for your ongoing financial and prayer support of our all-important year-end campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
