Hardship and hope

Having been away for some weeks, I read through several issues of MWR at one sitting. You report on hard things, like Mennonites fleeing their homes in Congo and our internal conflicts, but hope and encouragement shine through. Yes, the church, with all its faults, is a sign pointing in the direction of God’s will for this world. Thanks for the reminder, and for evidence that helps renew my spirit.
