Welcome to Issue 62

From the Director

Dear Friends,

As we approach a new season within the calendar year, I’m mindful that our lives have different seasons. Change is inevitable, and each of us handles it in different ways. Some thrive and cannot wait to seize a new opportunity. For others there is a little more resistance, and they are pleased with the comfort of how things are or used to be. Change can also bring unexpected challenges and sometimes can seek to throw us off course and hinder and distract us.

Even though seasons change, there is one that does not change. Malachi 3:6 says, “For I am the Lord, I do not change.” It’s good to know that no matter what happens, the Eternal, consistent, trustworthy Lord cannot and will not change. He is reliable and faithful to His word and promise.

As you spend time reading this edition, I trust that you will be encouraged to see the impact CBN and its family of ministries are making throughout Europe and globally. These things are only possible thanks to the generosity of our partners, who stand with us faithfully in prayer and financially. Thank you.

On page 26, please take the time to read some of the powerful testimonies we frequently receive and celebrate God’s goodness and provision in the lives of our viewers and partners. We also love hearing testimonies of God’s use of CBN to be a blessing. If you have a story or an answered prayer, we would love to hear from you and let your testimony encourage others. Please email testimony@cbneurope. com

Lastly, can I draw your attention to the YouVersion Bible App devotional “Living in God’s Blessings on page 18. In this devotion, you will find out what God’s plan for humanity was and still is; how it got messed up, how He restored it to us, and how we can live in His blessing in four key areas of money, time, relationships, and gifts.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your continual support and pray that God will use you as His voice of hope that speaks and shines within this dark world.

Every Blessing
