“Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” ~Lamentations 3:21-23
GEM missionaries in Bulgaria are seeing incredible openness to the gospel right now. Before COVID-19, a church in Bulgaria had about 100 people participate in their online services. Now, they're typically around 6,000 and even hit 47,000 one week!

How could the generosity of a church in Canada to a missionary in Germany change a life for Christ in Malta? Link below for a great story about what partnership in the gospel looks like.

The GEM community has been meeting online twice daily for prayer, and on April 9, we're all participating in a spiritual retreat as we not only respond to the needs around us, but also prepare our hearts for what God can do in us, both today and in the season of ministry to come!
The space between us can't separate us from God's love. COVID-19 is affecting us as a global community, so we at GEM are diving into creative ways to build community in the heart of physical distancing! #jointheharvest#neverstopneverstopping#physicaldistancing
Not so long ago, we commissioned another Canadian to serve in Europe! Krista is headed to Black Forest Academy this August to serve missionaries families through Christian education. @BFAKandern

Pray for Ron Fairbanks and Deborah Unruh as they spend time in Saskatchewan connecting with students at @Briercrest and @MillarCollege (Pambrun) in the next few days. Pray for these students as they explore God's leading in their lives! #jointheharvest
We're not always big on New Year's resolutions, but we are big on growth. Wherever you're starting out the year, may 2020 see you grow in your relationship with Christ and with your neighbours!
Only one of these things is cheesy. Let's never forget the importance of celebrating the incarnate Saviour. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Merry Christmas, everyone!

Christmas decorations are up in the office! Small things like this help serve as visual cues to prepare for the coming celebration of Immanuel, God with us!
Story from the field, Ten2 edition!
"While I was listening to their stories, I realized that many of the refugees had given up everything with no guarantee of life." Read more about this Ten2-er's summer serving in Athens at https://t.co/8B9UNfGL2W #jointheharvest#ten2project
Pray for Howard Moore (Western Rep) as he travels in Saskatchewan this week. Pray for great opportunities to share what God is doing through GEM missionaries and partners, and for hearts open to the need in Europe today. 📷 Deborah Unruh #landofthelivingskies#jointheharvest
Pray for this building project in Romania! Kevin & Michelle Weppler are returning home to their ministry in Romania after a couple of weeks in Canada. Pray for their safety in travel, and that the remaining teams needed for the next stage of construction will come together soon!
I love hearing stories from the field, how about you? Are you the only Christian someone knows? Read a missionary reflection from Burdeen Starkey at https://t.co/0WdXUoqB3n
