Glory to Jesus, my MarchMin friends! Praise His amazing name! I've been so enjoying the Psalms this week even as they fill my heart with joy in worship and laughter... "Give thanks to the Lord...Speak of His wonders. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek Him be glad." Psalm 105: 1-3 I tell you, my friends, turn off the voices that aren't Him - and run to the joy and security of His Word - Truth in a sea of confusion! Glory to Jesus! |

My friends, I begin this letter with deeply heartfelt thanks to you who give to MarchMin. I'm deeply moved to tell you that last month, against all odds in the midst of this crisis...your donations didn't falter even a tiny bit. It stands as a testimony to God's astounding faithfulness. It stands as a testimony to your hearts - for Him and precious lives coming to know Him. From the deep of my heart...thank you! |

Even as I share my thanks, may I ask you to pray over one of our most faithful "MarchMin-ers." Patrick Taylor is a long-standing member of our South Africa Outreach with a heart "as big as Africa" for the children we serve. I recently received news that Patrick is suddenly facing serious health issues with quadruple bypass surgery scheduled May 14. Please, let us keep Patrick in prayer. Thank you so much! Glory to Jesus! |

It's a glaring testament to the depth of confusion in our world today - even as businesses, churches, elective surgeries, etc. are shut down for fear of this virus...countless babies are killed in "clinics" considered "essential" every single day. But the ministry of Alison's Choice presses forward! Please enjoy this email I just received... " |

"Hello Mr. Marchiano, we are very excited to announce to you that the Ukranian translation and dubbing of Alison's Choice is finally complete. We will begin broadcasting soon and trust God for many lives saved..." My MarchMin friends - especially you who gave to the making of Alison's Choice - please "behold the fruit of your sacrifice." Alison's Choice is now in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Korean and now Ukranian...reaching lives across the globe. It's a miracle of God's great faithfulness - operating through your great sacrifice! Glory to the name of Jesus! |

In The Gospel According to John news we continue our "rebuilding of Jerusalem," turning focus to the Temple. So much of John takes place at the Temple we're dedicating countless labor-hours to "get it right." |

Thank you so much for your prayer covering over Daniel, our 3D "vfx" artist, as he and I work together. A lot of research has been done and we're striving for a very high level of historical authenticity. At the same time, what's most important of all is "spiritual authenticity" - the authentic, Spirit and Word inspired representation of our Lord of lords and King of kings, Jesus! To say I value your prayers is a gigantic understatement. To say I'm thankful for your continuing donations is equally so. I praise God for you! Glory to Jesus! |

When our gardener retired Maria and I decided to cut back and do the yard ourselves. It's a decision I sometimes regret - when I spend an entire day weeding and the next morning wake to a crop of new ones haha! At the same time the Lord has "spoken" to me so much through my gardening hours I wouldn't trade them for anything. |

I've mentioned my desert landscape before, and the cactus flowers that were a surprise to me - blooming from what "appeared as if" nothing beautiful is possible. As you can see, my cactus have begun to bloom again; these tiny pink beauties springing forth - from rock, sand and thorns. And the Lord says to us all in this seemingly "desert" time... "Behold, I am doing a new thing; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert." Of course in my case it's flowers in the desert haha...but you get the idea. Rest in your heart, my friend. Look upward in trust...and "behold!" Glory to Jesus! Have a tremendous weekend, my friend! Moms, may this Mother's Day be the most wondrous ever for you - yes, even in the midst of all that's going on the Lord can do it! Happy Mother's Day, Moms! Glory to Jesus! Bruce Marchiano |
