Special Thanksgiving Message!

November 26, 2008

 Editor’s Note: Chris Braun, regional director for Africa, sends a special Thanksgiving greeting that reflects the sentiments of Alliance workers worldwide. From our homes to yours, may your Thanksgiving be filled with the wonder of God’s blessings in your lives. 
 
Our hearts are sobered as we look at the worldwide economic crisis and its effects on so many individuals. Yet at the same time, we rejoice over how God has cared for Alliance workers ministering around the world and for all that He is doing through them. God is using you to accomplish His work around the world. What the apostle Paul wrote expressing his gratitude to faithful Ephesians believers is our heart for you as well.  
 
Ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers (Eph. 1:15-16).  
 
Thank you for all that you do to enable The Alliance to witness of Jesus in Africa. Your prayers, financial support, and ministry through short-term teams and partnerships are making an impact. We understand that what you are giving and doing is sacrificial on your part, and we want you to know that we greatly appreciate it. This letter is meant to be a brief word of gratitude as it communicates some of the fruit resulting from your selflessness.  
 
Gratefully, Chris Braun

Get Involved...

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
