Dear Congregation of Ebenezer CRC: Thank you for your partnership with Resonate Global Mission! Even as a director of a global mission agency, it can be easy to think of missions as something happening far away—but the truth is that mission starts in churches like yours. When you pray for the missionaries your church supports, that’s mission. When you give faithfully to the church offering, that’s mission. When you make an effort to greet your neighbor by name and take an interest in their life, that’s mission. And your faithfulness reaches far beyond your own walls. Because of the generous giving of churches like yours, missionaries are sharing the gospel and discipling new believers. Church planters are starting new communities of faith. Campus ministers are walking alongside students. And leaders are being trained to guide their congregations in mission.  As they go, your church's faithfulness goes with them, into neighborhoods, classrooms, and congregations you may never see. Together, our small denomination is making a big difference right here at home and in more than 40 countries around the world. Thank you for stepping into God’s mission! Serving with you, Kevin DeRaaf, Director
