EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S NOTE First I pray a blessing over you, your family and all you put your hand to as you live and give to God. I recently read how our time truly fulfils the words that Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke at the beginning of the Great Depression: “This generation has a rendezvous with destiny.” How much further along are we today than the 1930’s? Truly we have a rendezvous with destiny.
Rev. Jason & Maria Woolford
It fascinates me to live during these times seeing abortion over turned, Jerusalem the ancient city located in Judah now the captial of Israel, secular music artists calling preacher to the stage during concerts to pray, ministers being asked to give Bible commentary on main stream news outlets; my point is our great and awesome God is up to something.
You are a hero. As heroes share their lives, and because of you millions of people are getting a free Bible or Christian book, the Bible, the Word, God himself, because you’re choosing to live and give to Him! Those who invest in God’s Kingdom seldom see the full results of their commitment; therefore, I am always excited to share of the impact we are having together in this Mission Cry Magazine. Things like believers working and giving to give some unknown person a free used Bible, New Mission Cry Bible or Christian book. We may never see those who became better fathers, mothers, husbands, wives or the children that were not aborted because of your faithfullness. You and I cannot always see the eternal impact you are having, but someday you will. I am humbled, blessed and honored to partner with you until the return of Jesus Christ or our meeting with him on getting people his Word. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Rev. Jason Woolford President Mission Cry / CRI
