On this beautiful Thanksgiving Day, Virginia and I want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude to you. In our shared journey of service to others, we have witnessed the generosity of your heart and unwavering commitment to our mission of reaching the lost by training the found. As we approach this Thanksgiving holiday, surrounded by loved ones and reflecting on the blessings in our lives, please know that your prayers and support is among the things we are most thankful for. We are grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us to advance the Gospel in Latin America and for the friendship that continues to enrich our lives.
We truly believe that missions is done with the feet of those who go as well as with with the knees of those who pray and the hands of those who give. Your prayers have been a beacon of hope in difficult times, and your offerings have been seeds of love planted in the hearts of those we serve. You are an invaluable piece in this ministry puzzle, and we are truly grateful for the unique contribution you make.
May your Thanksgiving be brimming with joy, warmth, and the cherished company of those closest to your heart and may a spirit of gratitude envelop you not only today but always.
With gratitude and blessings,
Gilbert & Virginia Contreras
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ’s sake. (Philemon 3-6)
