“This book helped me to meet Jesus.” ✨📖

😲 When Father Liévin visited our international headquarters at the start of the year, he spotted a very familiar sight: the ACN Child’s Bible! 🥹✝️ It was the very same book that shaped his faith as a young boy—the book that eventually led him to the priesthood!

But there was one thing he never knew until today: that this "treasure" was a gift from ACN's benefactors! 🎁⛪️✨

For 45 years, your amazing support has allowed us to print over 51 million copies of 'God Speaks to His Children' in 194 languages! 📚🌏 For many, like Fr Abbé Liévin, it isn't just a book—it’s the spark for a lifelong vocation! 🔥⛪️🙌

Thank you for part of this mission! ❤️🙏 God bless you! 🕊️✨

🕊️ Why is gratitude at the center of our work? Because it is the bridge. It connects your sacrifice in one part of the world to a soul in need in another. It’s the realization that when we give, we aren't just "helping"; we are participating in the very life of Christ.

Ambushed. Slaughtered. For carrying the Word of God. ✝️

🙏 On September 21st, Catechist Eric Moyenga wasn't fleeing danger; he was riding back to his village, carrying the written materials for October’s missionary month. Terrorists ambushed him and murdered him in the countryside in Burkina Faso.

His final act of service: to die while exercising his ministry in the service of the . He was buried two days later. 💔

🚨The cost of faith in Burkina Faso is devastating.🚨

Escalating jihadist violence has led to:

⚫ Over 1,500 people killed in 2024 alone.

⚫ Dozens of religious leaders abducted or executed.

⚫ More than 30 parishes forced to shut down.

Eric's sacrifice, and the ongoing suffering people, must not be forgotten.
