Dear Friend,
In a world where the gospel is met with much resistance, there are brave IMB missionaries serving in some of the most dangerous regions on earth, courageously sharing the gospel. Many of these dedicated individuals cannot reveal their identities, as doing so would jeopardize their safety. Yet, their commitment to spreading the message of Christ remains unwavering.
These missionaries venture into regions where the light of hope is desperately needed, often facing unimaginable dangers. They understand that the cost of sharing the gospel is high, yet they willingly embrace this calling because they believe in the transformative power of Christ's love.
The Janills (real name withheld for security reasons) serve in northern Africa in a region characterized by violence and political unrest. They have been forced from their home more than once to protect their family. They are currently waiting in a neighboring city for fighting to ease so they can return to their house. Why do they want to go back? Because very few, if any, will hear the gospel if they don't. They have counted the cost and finding Christ worthy, they'll return to share the gospel in spite of frequent violence.
By giving through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® for the first time, you can directly fund the efforts of those risking everything to bring hope to the hopeless.
Every dollar you give goes directly to support the missionaries, providing them with the resources they need to continue their work in these dangerous environments. Your generosity enables us to send more missionaries, provide crucial training, and address urgent needs on the ground.
As the year comes to a close, I urge you to consider the cost of lostness and the sacrifices our missionaries are making. They cannot be seen, but their impact is profound.
Your first-time gift will protect and empower those who serve in dangerous areas, reaching more people with the life-changing news of Jesus.
Please consider making a gift today to help us achieve our goal of $200,000 by December 31: https://www.imb.org/generosity/cye-2024/
Thank you for standing with us in support of these brave missionaries. Together, we can continue to bring light to places shrouded in darkness.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Paul Chitwood
IMB President
