2005 Dear
Friends, Thank you so much for your generous gift to the ministry of Eastern
Mennonite Missions. Your gift
makes a difference in the lives of people
around the world. In this
season of thankfulness and gratitude, it is appropriate for us to take a
moment to thank you for your gift to EMM. Since 1911, Eastern Mennonite Missions has relied on the generous gift of
friends like you. Through each
of you doing what you are able, we have used over $114 million in gifts to
share the good news of Jesus Christ, particularly in places where the
church is weak or nonexistent. What
an investment in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. But that only counts the financial resources
that we have stewarded. We
have also received millions of hours of time given to the Lord for his
direction. From young and old
alike, these hours have been given in love, with the desire to bring
people to Jesus Christ. Thankfully, we have also been the beneficiary of innumerable prayers for
God’s work around the world. Just
as we rely on friends for financial support, we also rely on you for
prayer support. Whether as missionaries on the field, administrators in
the office, or support teams back home, we rely on the prayers of God’s
people for wisdom, discernment, courage, and strength. Thank you so much for the ways you have been involved in supporting the work
of the Lord through Eastern Mennonite Missions.
We will never be able to calculate the value of finances, time and
prayers offered on EMM’s behalf, but our heavenly Father knows them all.
We pray that he will bless you as you continue to be involved in
his kingdom. Gratefully, EASTERN
MENNONITE MISSIONS R.
