2024 Thanksgiving Offering Praise Report

Dear ANF Family,

I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to everyone who participated in this year’s Special Thanksgiving Offering to the Poor. The finance team shared that 35 singles and 15 families came together to give a total of $48,297.40. Praise God! I thank God not only for the growth in our church’s size, but also for the growth in our commitment to Him and His Lordship. I believe that God is pleased with our hearts and that He will continue to use this offering to show His love to the poor, the widowed, the orphaned, and the persecuted.

Our lives as Christ followers are paradoxical. God makes us strong when we are weak. God gives us lives of righteousness when we die to our sins. God lifts us up when we humble ourselves. God fills us when we empty ourselves. God is always faithful, and His promises are trustworthy. Blessed is not the one who receives, but the one who gives.

ANF may not be the best or the most polished church, but I believe we are a faithful and useful church for God’s kingdom. And for that, you can be proud of your church! I know that some of you may have struggled when you heard about the messages of the Thanksgiving offering to the poor. But please don’t hate me😂— I was just seeking to disciple you into becoming the men and women of Jesus that He’s calling us to be. I am truly proud of each and every one of you, and I love you all deeply. Happy Thanksgiving, and may we continue to grow in His grace and generosity.

Pastor Daniel
