Actually, Paul spoke proudly of the church in Thessalonica. They endured persecution and still gave generously wanting the Word of God to go forth!
I am really proud of you Calvary! You have demonstrated your heart to see the Word of God go forth! (you haven’t really been persecuted, but that’s a different subject 🙂 )
Last night, you packed the place and encouraged the Missionaries and their families. The IMB staff and Missionaries all thanked me for your support. SO, I want you to know that I don’t get the credit—you do! Actually, we all know God gets the credit as He works in and through you!
SO, today, I must tell you that I am proud of you and how you are letting God work in and your through your lives, your homes and our Faith Family….called Calvary!
