Offering real hope to the lost & lonely

A new delivery of small booklets from Lifewords arrived today - they've got a great new booklet called "Picking up the Pieces" which is great for prisoners who often seem to struggle with loneliness, isolation and the tough life they face until the finish their sentence.

We've been able to respond to Mr V.U.'s request for resources to enable him to minister to prisoners in northern Nigeria and let them know that they are cared for and loved by God, when they often feel forgotten by the world.

God is so gracious - He meets each one of us just where we are and gently encourages us to grow and change more into His image.

As we send out resources, I'm mindful of several Bible verses - one which tells us that the word of God is a two-edged sword -
"For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

and also
"dear friends, build yourselves up in the most holy faith .."
Jude 1:20

As people read the Bible's that are sent and are encouraged by the stories of others whose lives have been changed by God - lives will be changed and glory will be given to God. Praise God for His awesome grace to each one of us.
