If her family knew of her faith--caught her walking into a church or asking questions about Jesus--they would disown her. Or worse.

He could hardly bear the trip to the mailbox--finding bill after bill stamped with "Final Notice." But did anyone really care? Was there any hope?

Being a Christian has never meant a "smooth ride" through life.
And the past months (especially in the Arab world), have been full of rising unemployment, foreclosures and uncertainty.
All over the world, millions of believers are in situations like these, feeling isolated, lacking good Christian teaching, discouraged, and (in some places) never knowing if their faith might get them killed.
But every single day, for just a few pennies, you can offer them words of hope and comfort. You can encourage their hearts with Scripture that nourishes. You can help them stand firm, delivering (by cell phone) daily messages from Scripture in their own language. We call it MoBible.
One day they might hear: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10).
Every single day they will receive similar messages in their own language, for free. If they cannot read, it doesn't matter ... all they do is pick up their phone and listen.
Back to the Bible offers such daily phone calls and texts all around the world.
These calls bring hope and refocus minds on the fact that the Lord does care ... that He is compassionate and gracious, ready to help us.
With all the turmoil in the world right now, a lot of people need to be reminded of these truths ... I'm guessing you can think of several in your own life. So, would you step forward to ensure that those who need this kind of encouragement get it?
It takes just 6 cents a day to reach out with daily phone calls to people looking for hope and encouragement.
This ministry is in high demand ... a safe way to get daily encouragement in the Word to bring strength and comfort. In order to reach all who are craving this encouragement, your help is urgently needed.
Many people overseas have no church to attend, no Christian friends to turn to for comfort. This is their lifeline.
