A Thanksgiving Message from East-West
Thankfulness is a mark of the Christian.
Scripture repeatedly encourages us to give thanks to the Lord, and we have a lot to be thankful for …
- the perfect provision of the cross
- the gift of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us
- the people God has placed in our lives as we journey heavenward
- and so much more.
As thanksgiving people, our leaders want to thank you for praying, giving, and going with East-West as we work to ignite a movement for Christ in places held captive by the powers of darkness.
We simply couldn’t multiply followers of Jesus in these places without you!
“Paul’s words in Philippians 1:3-8 capture the sense of affectionate gratitude and joyful praise that I have to the Father for you each of you—always—and especially at this special season of Thanksgiving! Abundant and joyful thanksgiving be unto God for your partnership in the gospel!”
–Kurt Nelson, President and CEO
“God’s graciousness to this ministry over the years can only be explained in human terms because of your love for the Savior. Great grace has come to East-West because of the overwhelming kindness from all who have and continue to give resources out of their devotion to the message of Christ’s redeeming love. Thank you.”
–John Maisel, Founder and Chairman Emeritus
“Friends, I could not be more thankful for your partnership in this work! God’s faithfulness, our striving and your investment in eternal work are the three things we need to successfully make disciples in the spiritually darkest places on earth. We know your prayers and financial investments are essential, and we thank you for stewarding your gifts for the Kingdom.”
–Executive Vice President – Field Ministries
“Going to the spiritually darkest areas of the world to multiply followers of Jesus is an incredibly huge and hard task. We are so thankful for you—our partners—who have invested so often and so much in these efforts. We labor together with you … trusting in our God and His power to overcome resistance and touch lives. May His kingdom grow and may He receive all the glory.”
–Vice President – Equipping
“We are so grateful for your kind gifts that allow us to secure incredibly talented people to spread the gospel worldwide. Thank you for allowing us to see your kindness and love for Him through your gifts given to missionaries you hold dear, projects you support, and the overall management of this ministry.”
–Executive Vice President – Operations
“As I reflect on God’s goodness in this season of thanksgiving, I’m reminded of those whom God has called to participate in His mission of multiplying followers of Jesus through East-West. Whether the investment comes through praying, giving and/or going with us, I’m deeply grateful for your obedience to God’s call to ‘go and make disciples.’ Your obedience, manifested through a generous sacrifice of time, talent and treasure, ultimately brings forth eternal transformation. So on behalf of East-West and those who benefit from the ministry of our mission, I am thankful for all who make this ministry possible.”
