A man working with one of our ministry partners in the Middle East recently attended a men’s conference in a closed country, and shared this video with us. He writes, “While I was at the conference, I was again deeply encouraged by how God is working. And I was moved to see the deep hunger to study God's word. As I sat next to one young leader during a discussion, I noticed his Bible. It is perhaps the most beautiful Bible I've seen. I took a short video which I have attached here for you... It’s just a few seconds long and I believe you'll be encouraged to see it.” Learn more about this ministry at www.elam.com.
