Around the world, people are feeling the effects of a declining economy. In Central Asia, even people who have jobs struggle to make ends meet. Recently the missionaries, seeking a temporary solution to the poverty around them, started a benevolence fund to take food packets to the neediest families. God powerfully supplied.

One packet went to Sara* a woman who had attended the fellowship in the past but had since stopped coming. When the national couple delivered the food packet, Sara welcomed them in and began telling them about her estranged relationship with her brother. This culture places a high value on family relationships and Sara was devastated with this separation. The couple encouraged Sara to come with them to her brother’s house. They all went together and Sara and her brother were reconciled after many years of bitterness.

That Sunday, Sara returned to the fellowship bringing along her brother who had never been to church before. And that day, Sara was reconciled to God. Pray that her brother will someday do the same.
