Thank You ~ Your support enables church planters, campus ministers and other ministry leaders to reach out to those around us who are hungry to hear the words of the gospel. In our changed and changing culture, people are still searching – searching for something only the love of God can fill. Thank you for your gifts and support of God’s mission. Periods of change – sometimes easy and sometimes difficult – demonstrate God’s faithfulness in all seasons of life. We read in Genesis 8:22 that, “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” This promise of endurance is a symbol of the hope that so many people search for and find in communities of faith. We can find deep strength and hope in the fact that our gracious and faithful God is always by our side. Home Missions is seeking to bring that same hope to all those who are lost and hurting in North America – thank you for supporting this vital mission work, especially in this season of great change. Thank you for your partnership and support to Christian Reformed Home Missions.
