Worldwide Ministry

Pray
Thursday, September 10, 2026 – In the Middle East 1 — How do we respond to suffering, tragedy? Abdullah<i>, an Arab refugee brother, was killed in a tragic car accident not long ago. He was the informal leader of a small group of believers, the only Arabic-speaking refugee fellowship on our side of the city.

Today's Thought

I clearly recognize that all good is in God alone, and that in me, without Divine Grace, there is nothing but deficiency... The one sole thing in myself in which I glory, is that I see in myself nothing in which I can glory. – Catherine of Genoa6
