This season of Thanksgiving has been full of opportunities to reflect on God’s goodness and the many ways He allows us to share His love with others. From Serbia to Téglás, we’ve been reminded how your support makes all of this possible.

Larry recently returned from Serbia after delivering firewood to families in need. With winter approaching, these deliveries are vital to help keep families safe and warm, and it’s only through your generous donations that we’re able to provide this support. As Larry visited each family to bring firewood, he also brought encouragement and hope, taking time to build relationships with the people he met. Through these connections, he’s learning more about their lives and challenges, including medical and social issues where we can offer additional help.

One of the highlights of his trip was speaking at the local church’s Thanksgiving ceremony. Larry shared a message about the importance of helping others and showing Christ’s love by caring for our neighbors. He encouraged the church members to continue being a light in their community, inspiring them to find joy in serving others.

Meanwhile, back in Téglás, I had the honor of participating in our school’s Thanksgiving program. The teachers asked me to share how Thanksgiving is celebrated in America, so I gave a short speech about its history and some personal anecdotes. Here’s the twist—I delivered my speech in Hungarian! My language skills are far from perfect, but the teachers and students were thrilled that I could share in their language.

The program itself was beautiful. Each class prepared a Thanksgiving table filled with homemade treats and messages of gratitude. It was a joy to see the creativity and thoughtfulness of the students as they expressed what they were thankful for. I was reminded once again how special it is to be part of this community and how much I love sharing these moments with them.

We are so grateful for the prayers and financial support that make all of this possible. Whether it’s Larry distributing firewood in Serbia or me sharing Thanksgiving traditions in Hungary, your generosity is at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for standing with us as we continue to share God’s love across borders and into the lives of those who need it most.
