CBN PARTNERS BRING NEW LIFE AND HOPE
Your giving is proof that God answers prayers through His people
When Chatree and his wife, Mai, lost their jobs during the pandemic, life in Thailand became a daily struggle. In addition, Mai battled a life-threatening illness. With no income and medical bills piling up, they felt hopeless—until caring partners like you stepped in.
CBN’s Operation Blessing equipped Chatree with tools and training to start a vegetable farm. In just two months, he harvested over 2,000 kilograms of cucumbers—enough to feed his family, pay off debts, and bless his neighbors.
“I am thankful for all of you who supported this project,” Chatree said with gratitude. “May God bless CBN, and thank you for bringing blessings to my family.”
This transformation didn’t happen by chance. It happened because of the loving kindness of our partners.
Families like Chatree’s are waiting for someone to believe in them. Your faithfulness has the power to bring that same hope to many more. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus!
Did YOU Know?

I, the Lord your God, have assembled it for you, and I have formed it and created it for you—that this land might be sanctified for My glory and My holiness.

CBN PARTNERS ARE providing critical care TO THE SUFFERING
YOUR UNWAVERING DEDICATION CONTINUES
“Go and do likewise.”
These powerful words from Jesus in Luke 10:37 remind us of the Samaritan man who stopped to help a wounded stranger by the roadside. While others passed by, he offered the care needed to make the man whole. Jesus calls us to do the same.
And that’s exactly what our generous CBN partners are doing! They’re fulfilling this mandate by providing desperately needed surgeries for men, women, and children who could never afford medical care on their own.
SAVING YUXUAN’S LIFE
In rural China, Yuxuan’s parents noticed something was very wrong. At just 9 months old, Yuxuan’s lips were purple, her heart beat dangerously fast, and she lagged behind other children. After a devastating diagnosis of congenital heart disease, doctors warned her family that not one, but three surgeries would be needed to save her life. Yuxuan underwent her first operation at a hospital in Beijing and, years later, another procedure. Still, even after her second surgery, Yuxuan often clutched her chest. She also felt dizzy and tired, unable to run and play as other kids do.
All this took a heavy toll. Yuxuan’s parents worked tirelessly in a factory
and clothing shop just to keep up with daily expenses and school fees for Yuxuan and her brother. Without help from relatives, they were forced to borrow money and shoulder crushing debt. Yet, as her family waited anxiously for the final
surgery, compassionate CBN partners reached out. Now, hope is rising for Yuxuan—her final operation means not only a healthy childhood, but relief for a family that simply refused to give up.
HELP FOR A HARDWORKING MAN
Elias, a construction worker in Kenya, spent his days laboring in the heat. He suffered excruciating pain from a growing lump on his neck. The extra weight caused severe headaches, but Elias kept pushing through for his family.
The large growth also attracted negative attention, and people began refusing to hire him. The little
money Elias normally earned quickly disappeared. Surgery was his only option, but with almost no income, he couldn’t afford it.
When caring partners learned of Elias’s desperate situation, they quickly provided the funds needed for his surgery.
Elias was overwhelmed with gratitude. He shared, “I have nothing to offer in return, but you have renewed my life and restored my hope.”
HEALING A BOY’S PAINFUL HERNIA
Six-year-old Erron’s hernia pain began shortly after his birth and steadily worsened. He desperately needed an operation, but the cost
at a city hospital in Cambodia was far beyond his parents’ reach. With no other options, the family turned to prayer, hoping for a miracle. That miracle arrived in the form of Operation Blessing’s medical team. They came to their village with expertise, compassion, and the resources to provide free medical care to children in desperate need. Thanks to the generous support of our CBN partners, Erron received hernia surgery at no cost to his family.
Erron and his family will never forget your kindness. “After my operation, I felt like a superhero!” he exclaimed. “I can run, ride my bike, and play games with my friends.”
Proverbs 14:31 reminds us that those who are generous to the needy honor the Lord. CBN partners honor Him daily by providing vital medical care to people in dire need.
Your faithful partnership ensures that we can continue feeding the hungry, extending care for vulnerable children, rushing aid to victims of disaster, broadcasting the Gospel message to lost souls, and so much more.

The Not-So-Perfect Shepherd
by Kellin Gibson Writer and Editor, CBN
What if your worst mistake could be transformed into your greatest victory? When King David committed sexual sin with Bathsheba, a series of sins followed. Bathsheba became pregnant, and David tried to cover up his sin by having her husband, Uriah, return home from war to be with her. But his plan didn’t work. Running out of options, David sent Uriah to the front lines of battle, where he was killed. After committing adultery and murder, it seemed David was a far cry from the shepherd boy he used to be. If you can relate on any level, there is good news! When we sin, God doesn’t shun us from His presence. Instead, He pursues us. God sent a prophet named Nathan to help David realize the enormity of all he had done. Although David had sinned greatly, he trusted God to forgive his iniquities and restore him, saying, “The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God” (Psalm 51:17 nlt).
When God confronts us about our own sin, we can do the same. Why? Because God is delighted when we trust Him to restore our broken hearts. Are you like David, longing to be free from the wrongdoings in your life? If so, then turn to the Lord. He is waiting to comfort your shattered heart.
Dear Jesus, help us to overcome our failures by receiving your forgiveness. Your finished work on the cross covers all our mistakes. Thank You for being faithful when we are unfaithful. In Your mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Q&A
with Gordon Robertson
I believe Jesus heals, but when I pray for others, they don’t get healed. Why does healing sometimes happen and sometimes not?
Your question touches on a mystery that has challenged believers throughout history. Jesus certainly heals; He healed many during His ministry and continues to do so today. But healing doesn’t always happen when we pray, and that can be hard to understand.
From my own experience, even when everyone prays earnestly, not every illness is healed immediately. Sometimes it’s about God’s timing, His greater plan, or the condition of our faith. Healing is not about the prayer technique, the oil, or the person praying—it’s about Jesus. He is the source and author of healing.
Remember, Jesus never prayed for the sick; He commanded healing in His name. When we rely fully on Him, miracles become possible. Also, spiritual growth and perseverance often come through trials, including illness.
So, keep trusting Jesus. Pray boldly but also surrender to His will. He loves you and those you pray for, and He is always working for their ultimate good.

The hope of His Calling
What does it mean to live in “the hope of His calling”?
In Ephesians 1:18-19, Paul prays that the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe (nkjv).
This hope is both eternal and present. It includes the resurrection of the dead, but it also means experiencing the power of God in your life today. The same power that raised Christ from the grave is available to you now, working in you, through you, and for you.
The shortest answer to “the hope of His calling” is this: God wants you to be just like Jesus. That may seem impossible, but it’s exactly what He desires—and what He empowers.
I love to flip the question, “Do you have faith in God?” and instead ask, “Did you know God has faith in you?” He called you, entrusted you with the Gospel, and empowered you by His Spirit. He believes you can do it, so preach the Good News, pray for the sick, overcome adversity, and live a life that reflects His love.
This is your calling. Let your eyes be opened to that calling. Don’t shrink back. Don’t disqualify yourself. Instead, open your heart. Ask the Lord to enlighten your understanding and give you fresh vision. Receive the truth of who God says you are. Walk in His purpose.
May your heart be filled with confidence, not in yourself, but in the One who called you. You are chosen. You are equipped. And you are empowered. The hope of your calling is certain because the One who called you is faithful.
He believes in you. And because He does, you can walk forward in faith and confidence.
May God bless you!
