As Betty and I reflect on 2025, along with our entire LIFE Outreach team, one word rises above all others: thankful.

We are truly thankful for LIFE’s faithful partners and friends. Because of their love for Jesus and compassion for others, countless lives have found hope, healing and the transforming power of Christ.

We’re thankful for every child fed, every orphan cared for, every village where clean water now flows. We’re thankful for the light that has pierced the darkness of human trafficking, rescuing young girls from unimaginable bondage. We’re thankful for evangelism outreaches, where more than 1 million individuals have confessed Jesus as Savior.

We’re thankful for the mission workers serving on the front lines, whose hands have been strengthened and hearts lifted through the generosity of LIFE’s friends and supporters.

And most of all, the individuals whose lives have been changed are thankful – thankful that someone saw their need and responded.

These life-changing outcomes are possible because compassionate and caring people like you chose to act in love and gave to help those in need.
