THANKSGIVING 2015

"Oh that man would praise the Lord for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works unto men!"
(Psalm 107:8)

Before everyone sits down with family and friends to share Thanksgiving dinner,
Pat and I want  to let you know what we are thankful for this year:

"It's You!"

We want to express our gratitude for your love, your friendship, your giving and your prayers.  Thank you for being a part of "Greater Works Unlimited," and all that we together were able accomplish this past year. We could not do what we do without you.

During this past year, the Lord has enabled us to share His love and touch lives in many different ways.

In Vietnam we contributed towards the expenses of a three Day Youth Conference with 26 youth leaders, where they received valuable teaching and imparting of God's Word.
> Helped to provide a Water Purification Unit for an orphanage in Vietnam which ministers to  HIV infected children.

In Sri Lanka we are providing the tuition for a pastor to become a certified optician.
> Two Eye Vision Clinics were recently held with your financial help.   At the last clinic 142 people were given glasses, prayed for and ministered to.

In Cambodia we were able to provide 76 water filters for a newly adopted village.
> A new wheelchair was provided for a young boy.
> Food and clothing were given to the residents of  three villages.

In Laos were were able to bring in Bibles and teaching materials for church leaders.

Working with others that share the love of God, financial support was given for:
  •  Rescuing three girls from Human Trafficking in Cambodia.
  • Children in a Ghanaian Orphanage to have a Christmas party and gifts.
  • Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes for Children in Nepal and the Philippines.
  • Providing livestock for sustainable income in China.
  • Support of young missionaries serving in Europe, South Africa and Mexico.  
  • Church construction in Ghana.
  • Financial support for the Persecuted Church in Access Restricted Nations.
  • Support to churches in the United States to reach their communities for Jesus. 

This all speaks of the value of partnership.  Without your help Pat and I know these things would not have been accomplished.  You are an important part of bringing the compassion of the Lord to those that are less fortunate.

Have a Wonderful and Thankful Holiday Season!

Blessings from our grateful hearts - Gary & Pat
