A message from the CEO
Welcome!
I am humbled by the stories in this edition of Sower. Our partners in the Middle East, Dina in Israel, Haya in Jordan and Mike in Lebanon, show bravery and deep commitment to making the Bible available.
When faced with destruction, the Bible brings true hope. It is their refuge, their stronghold, the one thing that doesn't change. Dina and Haya speak clearly about how vital it is for their people to have God's Word. We may not understand the trauma of war, but we can bring light and hope to those hurting Dina says, "You are vital partners in bringing healing and comfort, in bringing Scripture to people's lives. We need each other because this is how the kingdom of God works."
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Romans 10:15, NIV).
Together, let us bring the good news of Jesus to those who need it most.
