A Year-End Thank You
December 31, 2007 | By: Jon BloomCategory: Ministry Updates
As 2007 comes to an end (already?) my heart is full of gratitude to God for three remarkable groups of people that by God’s grace made the ministry at DG happen this year. They are gifts from the Father to me and to all who benefit from this gospel outreach.
The first are my precious partners in the day to day work at DG. The DG staff, about 35 full and part-time people, are some of the most godly, creative, resourceful, and life-giving people I know. I’m simply spoiled. The DG office is like a taste of heaven because these folks are so wonderful. I love these dear friends.
The second group is the DG Board of Directors. Sam Crabtree, Peter Hedstrom, Mitch Pearson, and John Piper are men whose prayer-soaked wisdom guides the ship of DG. I don’t deserve to have such leaders. And I am doubly-blessed to have John Knight step off the board to join the staff this January. I love these men.
The third group are the donors whose prayerful financial partnership underwrite all the spreading strategies that the board and staff undertake. Every year God provides our needs through these friends. I’m writing and you’re reading this blog entry because of the graciousness of each supporter. I love these generous partners.
Father, I feel compelled to give you public thanks for these people you have raised up to support Desiring God. Through them you have blessed me so far beyond what I deserve that I simply bow my head in worship. Millions of people have been reached this year because you chose these 3 groups of people to work together to reach them. From you and through you and to you are all things. To you belong the glory forever and ever. I love you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
