We just wanted to take a moment on this American Thanksgiving to share a message with all of you, our supporters.
I am so thankful this morning for the great privilege that I have to study here at Dallas Theological Seminary. I went out for a morning walk around the very quiet streets and empty campus and thanked the Lord for all I had learned and all the people we have met as a result of being here. Then I came home and thanked Karin again for coming along with me to Texas to walk with me on this journey. I walked for as long as I had things to be thankful to God for. It took me nearly 20 minutes! You were on the list.
Without supporters like you we would not be here. We are thankful that God has moved many of you to give and pray. We are thankful at the continued interest and support in every way you show it. By this support I will someday, by God’s grace, become the motto we have at DTS to “Teach truth, love well” and inspire others to do the same: in my family, the church and to those who have not yet heard.
I will leave you with the words the apostle Paul used when he was thankful for the very same things to the very same kind of people as you – loving supporters:
“I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received…the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
“To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Love,
Dan and Karin
