CLC World Report Summary
We are thankful to the Lord for the many ways that we see Him working through the bookshop. Our website has become very instrumental in our customers’ shopping experience. Many people have been able to find out about the shop through the website and even browse our online catalogue. We were also glad that our summer book tables as well as our Christmas book fairs in 2023 were so successful, with many new people attending, hungry for the Word of God.
It is encouraging to see many people from different nationalities, besides Cypriots, visit the bookshop. We are happy to share with them about the Lord and to provide them with something to read.
A Muslim couple was drawn to the bookshop, rather than other places they could have gone to, as they were searching for the appropriate government office to renew their Identity Card. In the process of trying to help them with this, a conversation about the love of God was initiated. We shared with them some of the truths of God and gave them a New Testament in their language. We have now become good friends, visiting one another and speaking about the Lord, praying with them and studying the Bible as the Lord directs us.
Through the ministry of our CLC shop, we can love and help people from all walks of life and be ready to receive them and help them to know the Lord.
