Faithful missionary pastors and church workers across the CIS are deeply thankful for the Christmas gifts you sent!

For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God (2 Corinthians 9:12).

Each October, SGA typically asks our partners to prayerfully consider helping us provide a special Christmas gift of $100 for the faithful, hardworking missionary pastors and their families. Also included are SGA-sponsored Orphans Reborn teams and other church workers who so selflessly give of their time and resources for the sake of the Gospel.

We are thankful to the Lord and to you for the way you responded for this year’s Christmas. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide more than 1,000 pastors and church workers with Christmas gifts! Here are a few excerpts from their letters of thanks . . .

We would like to express to you our heartfelt gratitude for your help in our families’ lives. We know of your prayers and desire to do all that is possible to meet our needs, as well as those needs in our ministries. We thank you especially for your prayers and material support. On behalf of all SGA missionaries here, we thank you for the Christmas gifts, and our hearts are filled with love and warmth through your sacrifice. We pray for you and ask the Lord to reward you hundredfold for our ministry to Him!
