Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before
Him with joyful songs. Know that the
LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His
pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100
What an incredible exhortation from the Lord via David!
Shout for joy
Worship with gladness
Know the Lord is Almighty God and we are His!
Enter with thanksgiving and praise
Give Him thanks
The Lord is good
Shout for joy
Worship with gladness
Know the Lord is Almighty God and we are His!
Enter with thanksgiving and praise
Give Him thanks
The Lord is good
As we look back at this year, we see God’s fingerprints all
over our lives.
We are so thankful for the opportunity to spend some time learning language, for the opportunity to research and gain knowledge on many unreached and unengaged people groups, and for the partnerships made with individuals and churches to help engage and reach some of our unreached groups. Probably our biggest thanksgiving comes with the knowledge of God’s protection and leadership in our lives; as we travel to various meetings and in our search for obscure people groups, we continually evidence God’s provision, leadership and protection.
We are also thankful for you – your faithful partnership
with us through prayer; as you visit our blog, reading our adventures, you
travel alongside us and partner with us.
This Thanksgiving holiday is a good time to look back and remember
all the things God has done this past year.
When we consider all He has done for us, we shout for joy and worship
with gladness; we know God’s power, see His faithfulness and the love He
displays in our lives; then, thanksgiving and praise will flow from our
grateful hearts because indeed, the LORD is good!
What a great way to
begin the holiday season – with thanksgiving!
This is also the time of year to emphasize the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for world missions. Did you know that every single penny given to the International Mission Board’s Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goes directly to the field to support world-wide mission work?
We use this money in all kinds of ways, from purchasing Bibles in local languages to providing sturdy vehicles able to withstand the rugged terrain we find ourselves moving down in search of the unreached. Without your support, we, and all Southern Baptist missionaries, would not be able to serve, and the people groups among whom we serve might not otherwise currently have the opportunity to hear the Gospel. There are many more missionaries waiting to be sent out. Please pray about giving even more this year to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for international missions through your church or directly to the IMB by clicking this link, Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, so that the many people groups among whom we serve, as well as those who are still waiting, will hear the Good News.
