We at Cornerstone, thank each of you for your generous giving. This is a Praise Report worth sharing….,
Dear Pastor John,
What can I say but, ”praise God from whom all blessings flow”. God used you, your leaders, your church, and your church members’ friends and relatives to bless the Union Rescue Mission guests in a powerful expression of love and compassion this Christmas.
I am so glad we got to know each other even better this year working on the Racial Reconciliation talks. I consider you my good friend. And, I consider your church an important and influential ministry partner in the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Thanks to your financial donations totaling over $6,000, we were able to give every adult living under our roof with a PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) bag with a reusable mask and extra insert filters, disposable masks, hand sanitizers and hand wipes. We also have enough left over to give to new quests who have been arriving since Christmas.
On behalf of the leadership and staff at the Union Rescue Mission, I want to express my sincere appreciation and admiration for the generous donation and for your faithful supply of Christmas projects over many, many years of partnering together to serve the most under-served souls in our community. You are making a difference. Each PPE Christmas bag was not only a practical way to protect a person’s health and promote their safety, but also, an expression of the heart of God and His unconditional love for them. These gifts also provide immeasurable emotional and spiritual healing.
As I end this email and send it off to you, I also lift a prayer to the Lord to bless you and each giver and giver’s household in ways that express His appreciation for the compassion shown on behalf of His one and only Son, the King of Christmas, and the Savior of the world…may Jesus Christ be honored and praised for your gifts of kindness.
Pastor Dan Anderson Union Rescue Mission
