Our Church is pleased to support CBF Global Missions in moments like these where bearing witness to Jesus Christ takes place through Amazing Grace in action. "Recently, we got free dental work for an Iranian refugee and her son (an estimated $3,600) through a relationship with a Korean Church's leadership -- a relationship we have been building for a couple years now. The Korean dentist who graciously gave his time and skill to help these refugees was not a believer. He was a friend of one of the Korean church leaders. He expressed gratefulness at the 'opportunity' to do this for this struggling family. He also has started to attend Bible study at the Korean church. The refugees who were helped are planning to take a gift to this benefactor. Sometimes it is difficult to work through the red tape, but this time the door opened, and we saw Amazing Grace in action."
