As I packed my son’s school supplies last month, I took a deep sniff and smiled. The smell of a package of sharp Laurentien pencil crayons always reminds me of September. New books, fresh paper, old friends, and neat classrooms! Yes, you say, and tests, projects, early bedtimes, and lots of rules. Hmm…maybe you haven’t quite got back into the school routine yet. Here at Word & Deed, a different routine continues around the world. In Nkhoma, Malawi, pastors are being taught more about the Bible and how to preach. In Dakura, Nicaragua, much work is still being done to help families whose homes were destroyed by a hurricane. People are building their homes and making clean wells for water. At night they listen to God’s Word, learning that He is the giver of all good things. When wood was delivered to help them build their homes, many people cried and called it “manna from the sky”! In Nigeria, the Cornerstone Academies are still a good, safe place for over 1400 children to receive Christian education. In Colombia, perhaps construction has begun on the new John Calvin Christian School. Did you notice that in all of these projects, people are learning? Teaching both practical skills and the truth of the Gospel is Word & Deed’s work in other countries. God’s Word exclaims, “[how] much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver” (Prov.16:16). A child in Nigeria can help himself and his country with an education. He will also learn that the “fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov.1:7). This principle is the starting point for Word & Deed and the people we work with. Make it yours this year, too. This month’s word search puzzle is made of words from the articles in this magazine. Words can be found vertically, horizontally, diagonally, forwards and backwards. The leftover words spell out a phrase found in Proverbs 3.  business church citizens Colombia Dakura Gospel group homes learn Lord Malawi need Nicaragua Nigeria Nkhoma pastor prayer house school song Sunday wells wood Word  |
