As Thanksgiving nears, we turn our hearts toward gratitude — a vital expression of Christian mission. Gratitude transforms service into joy and giving into worship. “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
A thankful heart recognizes that everything we have is a gift. Gratitude fuels generosity, prayer, and peace. In mission, gratitude becomes testimony: when others see our thankfulness amid trials, they glimpse the power of faith.
This November, let us give thanks for those who serve — missionaries, volunteers, and everyday disciples. Let us remember that every act of kindness, every prayer offered, and every life changed is evidence of God’s unending goodness.
