Humbled to be thanked for support

"Thanks for your support Wooster Grace!"
One of the best things I get to do is to meet people who are seeking to impact the world for Christ. When a team expresses gratitude for your help, I feel humbled. Yet I give all praise to God for this opportunity to help develop fully devoted followers of Christ to the ends of the earth.

A local group of college students served in Asia. Wooster Grace helped support the team. I share excerpts from their hand-written thank you note.

"Thank you so much for your help and support to our students who went on project this summer! It was such an encouragement to all of us when we learned of the generous support from Wooster Grace. What a blessing to have brothers and sisters from our very own community as partners in this trip...I wanted to highlight that God worked powerfully through the friendships we formed. I'll never forget the last meal with our new friends. 'Jocelyn' was in tears saying that there was 'something different' about our team because she had never met such loving friends in her life. Moreover, we also rejoice that one of our new friends, 'Grace,' invited Jesus into her life after our team returned to the USA by meeting with the follow up team in that country...It was through you partnership that (the trip) was made possible. Thank you for all the ways you've supported (us) through the years and during our trip this summer. ~ Mike"
