Find out how the Lord redeemed her life and showed Himself faithful!

Greetings! Aisha found herself pregnant, without a job, and stuck in an unhealthy relationship that left her feeling confused and alone. Desperate for clarity, Aisha turned to Scripture — especially the familiar words of "love is patient, love is kind" from 1 Corinthians 13 — hoping they would somehow make her situation make sense. She knew her boyfriend didn't reflect that kind of love, but she didn't want to walk the journey into parenthood alone. She even gave up her job in an attempt to fix what was broken, but that didn't work either. Fear and uncertainty began to flood her mind — but so did something else: the quiet, persistent voice of God reminding her that her story was not over. Through truth-filled guidance and compassionate support at Align, God began restoring what had been lost. He brought healing to Aisha's past and renewed hope for her future, not because her circumstances were easy, but because His faithfulness never failed. We invite you to watch Aisha's story and see how God met her right where she was. Your generosity helps make moments like this possible every day. Partner with us. Thank you for walking alongside women like Aisha, for believing that no story is too broken for God to redeem, and for knowing that no life is beyond His love. In the powerful, life-saving name of Jesus, Lisa Hosler President DONATE

Fwd: Catching up with the Sollenbergers

Bringing God's Word to the Nations               

Winter 2026

Marty and Glenna Sollenberger

Happy New Year! We are grateful for the privilege of serving God in the ministry of Bible Translation. Thank you so much for being a part of it through your prayers and financial support.

 

Bridging the digital divide 

In Southeast Asia, a colleague was gathering all the historical Scripture translations to convert them into formats for new technologies. He couldn't find one particular New Testament because it had been completed in the 1970s when Scriptures were only produced in printed form. "Turns out," he reports, "someone had scanned it and put it in [the archives]."  It is now being converted into digital text with the hope that it can be used on smartphones very soon.  

 

Marty enjoys his work in Archives. He created digital audio files to preserve cassette recordings of Scripture in several languages of Southeast Asia. He is currently scanning printed materials in other minority languages.

 

Glenna continues to work at Dallas International University. DIU is a truly global hub of learning. We now offer in-person courses in Indonesia, Uganda, and Brazil through our partnerships with other schools and organizations. We are excited to prepare people to serve in a variety of ministries, including Bible translation.

 

Personal updates: Praise and prayer

By God's grace, Glenna completed her cancer treatment with no serious side effects. Her latest scans show no sign of cancer. We are so grateful for your prayers and support during the challenges of the past year.

 

Marty's new medication for diabetes is working well. However he continues to have issues with getting adequate sleep.  We would appreciate your prayers for his health.

 

Thank you so much for your prayers and support in our ministry with Wycliffe Bible Translators!

Marty and Glenna

Operation Warm- A Promise of Love For the third year in a row, Subaru's "Loves to Help" campaign visited the Cocalico School District, setting up at our Lighthouse Community Center with Operation Warm to ensure kids have the shoes and coats they need to stay warm, dry, and confident. Little feet grow fast—sometimes every four to six months—and worn-out shoes or missing essentials can make everyday life harder for families. This year, Subaru went above and beyond, providing brand-new shoes and winter coats for over 50 children, helping support both their physical comfort and emotional well-being. We have enough left over to be able to continue providing these necessities throughout the year. We're so grateful for their generosity and the kindness poured into our community, and we can't wait to welcome Subaru back next year to continue creating moments like this.

Helping Our Kids Stay Safe Online

The internet is a big part of our kids' lives—and if you've ever felt unsure about how to keep them safe online, you're not alone. Many parents are asking the same questions. At Cocalico Cares, we've seen a growing need for practical guidance and honest conversation around online safety. That's why we're hosting a FREE workshop for adults, designed to equip parents and caregivers with helpful tools, confidence, and awareness when it comes to navigating the digital world with their children. This workshop is in partnership with ZOE International, an organization dedicated to ending child trafficking. Together, we'll focus on raising awareness while sharing practical steps you can take to help protect kids online—without fear, just informed action. Event Details: 📍 FREE Event 📍 Tuesday, February 3rd, 7pm 📍 Cocalico High School Library & Media Center 📍 Adults only (no childcare provided) Space may be limited, so please register soon:

Food Distribution Update! As we reflect on 2025, we are deeply thankful for the extraordinary generosity shown by our supporters. Earlier this year, we shared how our year-end fundraising campaign raised more than $360,000, far exceeding our $300,000 goal. This incredible support demonstrated a strong commitment to our mission and set the tone for the year. That same generosity was evident through tangible gifts of food and household items. In 2025, our warehouse received a record-breaking 71,872 pounds of donations, allowing us to distribute 68,494 pounds of food—equivalent to 41,809 meals—to individuals and families in need throughout our community. These gifts reflect compassion in action, and we are sincerely thankful to every donor, volunteer, and partner who made this impact possible.

SAVE THE DATE Get ready for an evening of inspiration, connection, and celebration! At this year's banquet, you'll hear powerful stories of hope and resilience from individuals and families whose lives have been transformed by REAL Life.
