| WORD | “…that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (I Peter 1:6-7) |
| WISDOM | Our faith is tested and purified by the “fire” of trials that we experience in life. As we face the world and grow in the Lord, we seek to be like the 3 men who were willing to be thrown into the fiery furnace rather than compromise their faith and bow to other gods that the king required of them. (Daniel 3: 16-17) |
| A WORK of the Lord in Japan. In addition to classes in God’s Word at Christ For The Nations-Japan Bible School, there are Conferences for various groups, such as Youth For the Nations (YFN). Last year, as well as in 2007, CFNI (Dallas) Director, Adam McCain, ministered to the youth. He is also head of Global Youth Net Standing together with you looking to the Lord, 
These youth welcome the Word of God into their lives, and share this treasure with friends. His Word is like a purifying fire that cleanses from sin, and gives life, truth, purpose, and meaning to those who seek it. Please pray for unsaved youth in Japan who, without God, are prone to depression and even suicide. Together with you, joyfully following Jesus, Charles and Dianne Gyurko |
