Shalom!
Warm greetings in the love of Christ to all CBN Partners, wherever you are. I am truly grateful for the hearts and minds you have poured into this ministry. You have become a channel of God’s love, faithfully supporting various programs with one unchanging focus: fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20).
God’s Word in 1 Thessalonians 5:1 reminds us that the Day of the Lord is near! Our time to carry out the Great Commission is very limited. The signs are clear—our era is rapidly shifting, especially through technology that is transforming our daily lives. It’s like the clock is at 11:59—just one minute left. This is a critical moment!
To fulfill this divine mandate, we must have unity. Unity is the key that enables the Kingdom of God to operate powerfully through us. As encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
One story from The Parenting Project deeply moved my heart. It’s about a family with seven children. The mother had been extremely harsh and abusive toward her kids, wounding them emotionally. The father was on the verge of giving up. But when they turned back to God, this family was restored in unity. They began to pray together, and a remarkable healing took place. The children began to love their parents deeply, and the parents wept upon hearing their children’s testimonies of continued love. This is the essence of unity!
Unity is the key to the presence of God’s Kingdom in this world! When we pray, His blessings flow. When we love and strengthen one another—in our relationships, families, workplaces, and ministries—the world will see the light of Christ shining through us.
So, I invite you to keep striving to live in unity. The more united we are, the more powerfully His Kingdom is revealed through our lives.
Unshakeable Kingdom Blessings to You!
