Dear Friends and Family,
This month we want to show you in a small way some of the fruit of your partnership in ministry for and among the poor. Over the years you have carried Chris and me through your prayers and sacrifices. We are grateful for your investment in our lives that encourages us to keep pressing on.
We are blessed by the opportunities that God continues to give us to be a voice for the poor. It is our fervent prayer that the Lord would continue to bring the Church and the poor together for the glory of His Kingdom.
Good News is a magazine that goes out to more than 70,000 readers. Last fall the editors of Good News came to our Word Made Flesh office and asked if Chris had written anything they might be able to use to alert their readers to the issue of the Church and the Poor.
We gave them a few papers and articles, not sure if it was what they were looking for. In January the editors approached Chris with an edited version of one of his papers and asked if they could publish the article in March.
Enclosed you will find a copy of this month's Good News magazine; Chris' article begins on page 12. Not to show you what we are busy doing, but to show you what your prayers and sacrifices are doing for the poor. This article is a reflection of your involvement in the ministry.
We thank you for being a part of our lives, but more importantly, for being a part of what God is doing for and among the poor in the world today.
Peace be with you,
Phileena Heuertz
