We thank God for you

Dear Friends!

Wishing you a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving Day, it is worth to say something to God, at least a few words of thanks.

All the good that we have is His gift. This simple truth is worth reminding yourself not only on Thanksgiving, but every day, every day given us by God.

This time, I am increasingly blessed with one of God's most precious gifts — friends and co-workers, brothers and sisters in Christ. I am surprised by their faith and faithfulness, love and generosity (some of our friends you can see on the picture).

It is noteworthy that the Apostle Paul most often thanks God for his Christian family:

“I always thank my God for you” (1 Corinthians 1:4),

“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God” (Philippians 1:3).

See also Romans 1:8 and Ephesians 1:15-16.

These days, I feel special thanks to God for you, friends and co-workers, brothers and sisters.

You are a wonderful gift from God, an expression of His love and care.

Praise and glory to our God for this amazing privilege - to belong to His people, gathered from all generations, cultures and tribes.

Thanks to God for you, I pray that we can experience the many blessings of unity — in love for each other and cooperation in the mission of God.

We are grateful for you and all the work that the Lord is allowing us to do together for mobilizing and equipping many thousands of young leaders for innovative ministries in Eurasia.

Have a wonderful week and a very special Thanksgiving Day on Thursday!

May God richly bless you for your friendship and partnership!
