Give thanks to the Lord

‘Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!’ (1 Chronicles 16:8, ESV)

As the year’s end fast approaches, it is good to make time to reflect and express gratitude to our Father for all that He has done, and continues to do, through the ministry of Miracle Connect.

Back in January, we talked about our goal to establish an online discipleship platform. Praise God that Steps on the Road was launched at the end of the summer, getting off to a flying start! Keep reading for more reasons to be thankful.

We also want to make special mention of those of you who partner with us in prayer and giving, for the significant role you have played in reaching the unreached. Thank you for all you do to keep us on this path.

The spark of interest

Twenty-one-year-old Issam* grew up in the north of Morocco where he followed the majority religion. Though he didn’t really have an interest in any religion, he recalls the name ‘Jesus Christ’ leaving an impression on him.

One day, Issam was browsing the web when he came across a Lebanese program on the history of Christianity. ‘I thoroughly enjoyed the program,’ he says. ‘It sparked an interest in knowing more about the Christian faith.’

Issam got in touch with Miracle Connect’s follow-up team and learned about what Jesus did for him on the cross. He realized that the Lord knows and loves him as an individual.

‘I am so grateful to the team,’ writes Issam, ‘for helping me, step-by-step, to develop a strong, personal relationship with God.

‘I have accepted Jesus as my Savior and I look forward to meeting one of the team face-to-face very soon.’

I want to support Miracle Connect.
