“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9
God’s declaration to guide, protect and promote His people even along previously untrodden paths is a contemporarily relevant and personally encouraging promise. While the year 2008 certainly led EBI along some unanticipated and at times completely unwelcomed pathways, God has fulfilled His Word. He has ministered to our staff amidst extremely trying times. He has provided wisdom and strength to fulfill responsibilities, even those above our “pay grade” and His ministry through EBI continues to grow as current materials are promoted and new materials are developed. Although often hesitant and fearful of taking paths on which we have not passed heretofore (Joshua 3:4) God continually encourages us to press on with courage and confidence. We are grateful for God's faithfulness in the past year which provides us with great courage and confidence for the year ahead!
