Hello BRN Family, it’s great to be with you!

As we approach this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to each one of you. This year, as always, God has been faithful—working in and through our churches, ministries, and communities in ways that continue to inspire and bless us all.

Thanksgiving is a time to pause and reflect on God’s goodness. In the midst of challenges, we can see His provision and presence, and we are reminded of His unending love. Whether it’s through the ways you serve, the sacrifices you make, or the prayers you offer, you are a testament to the grace of our Savior.

I am deeply grateful for the partnership we share in the mission of spreading the Gospel, supporting churches, and advancing the Kingdom of God across our region. Together, we have made a difference, and together, we will continue to reach the lost, uplift the broken, and serve those in need.

To that end, may I introduce you to this year’s Giving Tuesday “Thanks for Giving” campaign? This year, we offer five different impact areas where you can make a difference:

  • Serve LeHigh Valley, the BRN’s third large-scale outreach initiative, which creates unique opportunities to have major gospel conversations and community impact in the name of Jesus;
  • the new BRN Response and Relief Center for housing disaster relief equipment, staging for rapid disaster response and relief needs, and for training and mission team lodging;
  • Additional ongoing disaster relief ministry needs and efforts to advance our mission for every BRN church to achieve designation as a Ready Church
  • Specialized giving towards pastoral care and wellness, church advancement, compassion ministry, next generation mobilization, and church starting and missions sending;
  • And the BRN’s Legacy Fund, which seeks to build estate-planned endowments that ensure future ministries and impact.

Together, let’s make an eternal impact—partner with us this Giving Tuesday by choosing the area closest to your heart and helping advance the gospel through the BRN’s “Thanks for Giving” campaign. Click here to learn more.

May this season of thanksgiving bring you and your loved ones joy, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. As we gather around tables this year, let us not only give thanks for the blessings we enjoy but also commit ourselves anew to the work God has called us to do.

Happy Thanksgiving! As always, thanks for listening in today and may God bless you.
