Dear Partner,
I want to write to you the way I would say it if we were sitting across the table: thank you. Thank you for the heart of empathy you carry for Team Jesus's kids — the ones who run to greet us, who fill the plate twice, who hold our hands while we pray. Your generosity is not a line item. It is the reason there is food on the carpet where these children sit.
Every meal you have helped put into a small pair of hands was received by the Lord Himself. Jesus said it plainly:
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.”
When you gave, you were not giving into a ministry account. You were feeding Jesus. The children on that pink carpet did not know your name, but their Father does, and He has not stopped keeping records.
Solomon saw the same principle from the other side — the blessing flows back to the one who shares:
“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.”
I have watched that verse come true in your own house. Doors have opened, strength has held, peace has settled where worry used to live. That is not a coincidence. That is the promise of God keeping pace with your giving.
And if you have ever wondered whether kindness done quietly in another country matters, hear what the Lord says about it:
“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.”
Every dollar and every prayer is a loan to heaven, and heaven has never once failed to repay. The work we are doing in Pakistan — the crusades, the orphanage, the food ministry, the Bible school — stands on your faithfulness. I could not carry these children the way I carry them without you.
So today, from the field: thank you. You have loved “the least of these,” and I have had the privilege of watching their faces light up because of you. Keep standing with us. The harvest is still white, and there are more plates to fill.
With a full and grateful heart,
Alexa
