Front and Centre
We received the following testimony from Coxwain in the Solomon Islands when he recently visited his medical clinic at Point Cruz in Honiara and saw The Word for Today on the front desk…
TWFT is being displayed at the front desk of a medical clinic in town.
Recently, when I visited this clinic, I was surprised to see a copy of TWFT being displayed at the front counter.
It was later that I realised the wife of the doctor who owns this medical clinic is a faithful and keen reader of TWFT. I suspect that most workers of this private medical clinic may have accessed TWFT.
Kind regards,
Coxwain

A Seed That Grew: How One Gift Sparked a Mission Across Nations.
We received the following Testimony from Tomu who leads UCB Fiji…
Recently, Luisa Moce (Aunty Lu) who is a volunteer of UCB Fiji attended a Christian Group dinner fundraiser with one of her friends. This was after she received her very first copy of The Word for Today in 2024. She was so moved by her story that she decided to pen it for you to encourage and bless the work that you do with your team just as it did to her…she’s asked to remain anonymous in my short anecdote so I decided to title it as:
“A Seed That Grew: How One Gift Sparked a Mission Across Nations.”
Last year, I gave my Christian girlfriend from our KYB study group a free copy of The Word for Today-UCB Devotional at a time when she was walking through one of the lowest seasons of her life. That small act became a turning point in her journey as a wife and mother of 5 children. The daily encouragement she found in God’s Word helped restore her hope and strengthen her faith again.
Deeply moved by the ministry behind the devotional, she began to sow financially into UCB’s mission at every opportunity of sale she makes, one nation at a time across Asia and the Pacific beginning at home in Fiji, believing in the eventual vision of bringing Christian radio to unreached areas. Even with limited means, her heart for the gospel led her to give joyfully and with complete trust in God’s daily word from UCB.
This year, she’s witnessing the transformative power of God sowing back into her life. She started a small business, and as it grows, so does her ability to give. Her pledge has increased from $40 to $100, and her bold goal is to reach $1000 for each of the 12 nations she supports including ours.
Her journey is a beautiful reminder that when we plant in faith, God brings the harvest not just for us, but for His Kingdom too.
“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.”
— 2 Corinthians 9:10 (NIV)

Inspiration for you from…
You are called to be salt and light
‘You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.’ Matthew 5:13–14 NKJV
Jesus gave us two everyday examples so that we could clearly understand how He wants us to serve and represent Him each day. Let’s look at each of them.
(1) Salt. The only thing that can threaten salt is sitting in a shaker so long that it gets damp, loses its flavour, and can’t be sprinkled. Jesus said, ‘“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.’ (Matthew 5:13 NKJV) The word ‘flavour’ means ‘to enrich’. It’s not enough to enjoy good preaching and rich insights from your Bible reading; you’re called to share and sprinkle them on others.
(2) Light. Instead of isolating yourself from the world, you’re supposed to illuminate it. Darkness is not a threat to light; it’s where the light does its best work. Jesus said: ‘You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.’ (Matthew 5:14–16 NKJV) The word Gospel means ‘the good news’. In a world of increasing despair, you are called to bring the light of the Gospel to those living in spiritual darkness. So, the word for today is—be salt and light.
