“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.”
— ISAIAH 40:1 (NIV)

You can see the deep, soul-wrenching hurt nearly everywhere.

It’s a darkness that casts deep shadows in faraway nations … places of war, poverty and starvation. But it also touches our own neighborhoods … sowing confusion, anxiety, division and brokenness.

It’s into this hurt that God has placed us — to live and speak the gospel.

To show the compassion and share the message of the Savior who left the glory of heaven to appear in this terrible mess. You know His comfort and joy.

Now, you have the privilege of sharing it.

Please reach out this Christmas to show a lost world that Jesus came for them … and they can know Him personally!

SPECIAL GIFT: Receive a Christmas ornament when you give a gift of $100 or more. See back.

“I will no longer be the same … thank you so much for this Bible.”
