Thank You...

“I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”

As pastors, we understand Paul’s affection for the Philippians, and we understand how this affection overflowed into joyful prayer for these people. The individuals in the Philippian Church shared Paul’s concern for the spread of the gospel. If he preached, they would encourage him. If Paul required financial support, they provided it. When it came to furthering the gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul knew that he could count on the support of the Philippian Church. And this caused Paul to thank God for this church upon every remembrance of them.

Both the Mott family and the Osenga family have been humbled by the outpouring of love, the celebration dinner, the cards, hugs, calls, and letters of appreciation for the ministry that God has called us to. We love each of you and thank you for the tremendous blessing you are to each of us.
