Looking Back with Gratitude, Moving Forward with Mission

As we come to the close of another year in the harvest field, I find myself looking back with a full heart. If there is one verse that captures Evergreen Missions’ journey in 2025, it is Psalm 126:3:

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

When we pause and reflect, we see a year marked by God’s fingerprints—stories of breakthrough, impossible prayers answered, doors opening among unreached communities, and lives forever changed by the Gospel. This wasn’t just a productive year. This was a faithful year, and we are grateful.

Gratitude That Leads to Mission

Gratitude does not stop at remembering—it moves us forward.

As we enter 2026, we sense a holy urgency. There are still thousands of villages, families, and individuals who have never heard the name of Jesus. The harvest is still plentiful. And God is calling His people—all of us—to take our place in His story.

And so, we move forward.

With gratitude as our foundation.

With mission as our direction.

With Jesus as our purpose.

A Final Word

Looking back fills us with gratitude.

Looking forward fills us with purpose.

May we enter 2026 with renewed commitment, open hands, and hearts that echo,

“Lord, here I am—send me.”

Let’s walk into the new year together—

grateful for what He has done, and bold for what He will do.
