As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. –Proverbs 27:17
In the bustling city of Tirana, Albania, a small group of women gather together to deepen their faith and knowledge of God’s Word. Fatbardha, a faithful listener of THRU the BIBLE, leads them and recently shared:
“I was so happy to discover your programs on YouTube. I gather with a group of my friends in my shop, and we can listen together anytime we want. This program has helped us to discuss issues of faith together. We are going through the book of Genesis. So far, we have listened to ten programs. Thank you for helping me and my friends better understand the Bible. The teacher’s voice is clear and understandable, and I’m so happy to use this tool to disciple my friends. Studying God’s Word together has brought us deep satisfaction and joy.”
Thank God for the faith of Fatbardha and her friends. Let’s pray for all those who support one another to grow deeper in their faith:
Lord, thank You for the beautiful way You are working through these friends and all those who gather together around Your Word. Bless them as they draw close to You. Guide them as they explore Your Word and use them as a light in their communities. As THRU the BIBLE goes out today, may it bring more people together. In homes, shops, or other gathering places—may these fellowships be places of encouragement, growth, and mutual sharpening of faith. In Jesus' name, amen.
