2009 LIFE Banquet a Testimony to God's Work Among the Nations
We praise God for a wonderful celebration of his Word at LIFE International’s Spring Banquet held on May 4th. The 555 guests in attendance were able to browse a collection of rare Bible pages from the 1611 first edition of the King James Bible, enjoy a meal of international flavors, hear the Word of God proclaimed, receive an update on LIFE’s work in the nations, and respond by sowing into the ministry with gifts and as prayer partners.
LIFE’s President, Kurt Dillinger, shared from 1 John 1 and testified to God’s powerful work for life among the nations. Kurt shared about the development of life-giving work in Cambodia and about the perspective held by pastors in Africa who realize the United States’ role in exporting abortion globally. He shared LIFE’s call to come alongside these pastors to help multiply life-giving ministries in their nations and in other places where abortion is happening across the globe. The size of the need was clear when Kurt lifted to the stage a bowl filled with names of many others who have asked LIFE for assistance and are waiting for help in starting life-giving ministries in their own countries.
We bless God for the many people who came together to make this evening possible and for the gifts which will bear fruit in the lives of many men, women, and children around the world as they are touched with the gospel of Christ through the mission field created by abortion.
