We also have a constitutional right to freedom of thought, belief, speech and assembly. This is certainly not a given around the world. It should fill us with great gratitude to God, and at the same time it gives us a great responsibility to share with and help those who have less or nothing.
The board of the Danish European Mission is humbled and delighted by the great sacrifice of you donors - it is truly a great joy to see that many of you contribute. The board and staff put a lot of energy into managing the gifts so that as much as possible reaches those in need, both in soul and body.
Recently, I had the pleasure of joining Samuel from the office for a weekend organized by our partner for the work in Iran, Elam. Our partner is dedicated to taking the Gospel to the Iranian people of almost 80 million people. Before the fall of the Shah in 1979, there were very few Christians in Iran, but despite the Ayatollahs' Islamic revolution, which saw severe persecution of Iranians who converted to the Christian faith, today there is a huge revival in the country and many are hungry to own a Bible. Due to great support from our donors, many New Testaments and Bibles are being distributed in Iran. It was amazing to hear news of how God is working.
It was also a real pleasure to meet the employees and feel the calling that drives them. The employees expressed great gratitude that we stand with them in this vital task. Thank you for bearing with us.
