Join Colin and Mark as they review two good news stories from the May edition of the Good News paper. MIRACLE AT SEA – THE REAL STORY
When an Aussie family was swept out to sea, 13-year-old Austin swam 4km back to land, ran 2km to raise the alarm, and his mum and younger siblings were rescued in the dark despite being 14km offshore in rising waves. The story hit headlines around the world.
What wasn’t highlighted by most of the UK media was how the boy himself credited God and prayer for his incredible swim and his family all being saved. The May issue of outreach newspaper Good News gives the full story.
Also Hope is a Person. Someone this week spoke of their shock when someone close to them died suddenly. The news threw their life into turmoil. A reminder that loss disrupts our lives and makes us yearn for strong, secure foundations. During upheaval, we all seek a hope that will not disappoint. Only God offers this constancy; He promises to keep us safe with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). for the rest of this article see the online version of the paper at https://www.goodnews-paper.org.uk/viewlatesteditionspage.htm
