Happy Thanksgiving Our Partners,
Thanksgiving is a
season to say thanks to God and people. This year, I want to practice “give
thanks in all circumstances” (1 Th 5:18) in my study, ministry, and family. Sometimes
seminarians joke about being “tortured” by the workload, but truly we are
thankful for all the professors and staff’s dedication to GCTS. I am thankful
for the local church here, my mentor, my small group, the leadership, the
Cantonese and Children congregations, and the families who welcome us for
dinner and stay. Lastly, I am truly thankful to have Eva, my family, and your
support to the call of my life. I thank God to put me in different
circumstances and relationships so that I can have countless encounters to be
thankful for.
Words from Philippians as To My
Partners: “I wish to celebrate
Thanksgiving with you.”
“So I plan to be around awhile,
companion to you as your growth and joy in this life of trusting God continues.
You can start looking forward to a great reunion when I come visit you again.
We’ll be praising Christ, enjoying each other.” (Phil. 1:25-26 Message)
Paul often expressed his wish to
visit the churches he planted shows how much he cared and loved them. He hoped
to witness their growth and rejoiced with them. When we gather with family and
brothers and sisters, let us praise God’s works in our life and treasure each
other. I wish I could celebrate Thanksgiving with you!
As always I am thankful for your
partnership with me, and with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary to bring the
gospel of Jesus Christ to a great multitude of needy people throughout the
earth.
With Gratitude in Christ,
Tom Chow
