“One small ‘yes’ to Jesus can lead to more than we imagine. Each ‘yes’ prepares us for the next, until following his lead becomes our way of life. Across the Novo family this year, we’ve seen those sparks of obedience encourage others to follow Jesus and make disciples themselves. These stories record some of what God has done—and what your prayers and generosity have helped make possible. As you explore this map, I hope you see the reach of your partnership and feel encouraged to take your own next step with Jesus.”
— Mark Thrash, Novo President
