Glory to Jesus, my MarchMin friends! I pray you're well and experiencing our Father's grace and faithfulness at every turn! Again I chose to headline with this image that represents God's breathtaking Word. In fact...now that I think about it...let's make it our "official" headline image, ok? Glory to Jesus! Even as we approach Resurrection Sunday; even as we continue to walk through this unprecedented national and global time...the work of MarchMin continues. So especially for you who make the sacrifice of donation, please allow me to give a quick report... |

Beginning in South Africa, I'm sure you've heard how intensely the SA government imposed a lock-down. As a result we're not able to feed or minister to the +/- 300 children we care for. Their school shut down and they've all disappeared into whatever shack or corner they call home. |
|
|
Please keep these children in prayer. For many their only meal each day was the one we provided. At the same time, project leader Sally Herman and her team have had to cancel their May missions trip to them. As heartbreaking as it is, right now all we can do for these precious children is pray! Let us pray! |

We live in a world that deems abortion "essential" but churches must close - which makes the outreach of Alison's Choice even more critical. Especially for you who gave to AC, testimonies continue to flow even as the Ukranian translation is nearly finished - reaching a new nation! As Amazon stats show 1000's viewing each month, "Lord only knows" the lives He's saving. "Well done," donors! Praise to Jesus! |

The Gospel According to John inches forward in spite of the shut downs. My approach has always been, "What 'loaves/fishes' do I have to work with and what progress can I make with them?" In this case, through precious volunteers (including my Maria) we're busy creating the hundreds of costumes that will be needed... |
|
|
I've also begun working with a 3D artist to create the visual effects. What you see here is the first layer of a 3D recreation of Jerusalem 33 A.D. We press forward - as we seek God for continuing donations (please join us!). |

Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up His Spirit... |
|
|
Today, even as I type, we who are the children of God take even greater pause than usual to honor Jesus and the sacrifice He made so that you and I could stand in His holy presence for all eternity, washed clean and "wed" to Him in love beyond our greatest imaginings of love...forever. |

I'm often asked what special meaning Good Friday has for me given the extraordinary experience I had filming the crucifixion during the making of The Gospel of Matthew. It was 27 years ago, and it was so horrific - and so Jesus-revealing - I can remember like it was yesterday, and still tear up to tell the story. |
|
|
Please know that I could write volumes about that day and how I came to know Jesus so much more vitally through it. But suffice it to say... He loves you, precious one. He loves you in a purity and depth that is so pure and so deep all the greatest Christian minds in all of Christian history all together couldn't even begin to comprehend it. Hebrews 12:2 says, "For the joy set before Him He endured the cross." That joy, my friend...being you. He loves you, my friend. He loves you...Jesus! |

Have a wonderful weekend! Happy Resurrection Day - a day that should fill us with greater happiness than any other day! We look to Him and forever to Him, ok? Enjoy, enjoy! Glory to Jesus! Bruce Marchiano |
