24 This one actually would be very high on my list! Actually, almost all of them would be very high on my list. But the 24th.... reason for being thankful this year is.......

All of our new found friends in the countries of Finland, Ukraine, Romania & Russia! We have learned so much from you all and we love and appreciate you. Many of these are believers who have taught us so much! Some are not believers but we pray that God will speak to their heart and bring them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ!

We are like so many other Missionaries in that you go to a foreign country to serve and try to be of some help, but you come away feeling like you have been ministered to more than them. There's a special place in our hearts for these dear folks and I only wish I had 1000 lives to live for the cause of Christ and reaching the lost. May we hear God's voice as he tries to call us to take the gospel to all people. He's trying to call, but I'm afraid too many are tied down to the worlds' philosophies.
