Increasing in Wisdom and Stature

There can be no greater joy for parents than to see their children continue to accomplish certain milestones in life. One of those markers of progress is graduation. We share in the pride and joy of our mission family as we honor those who have accomplished educational achievement. Along with educational achievement are the joy and thanksgiving that come as our children progress in their spiritual life as well.

In writing to the Thessalonian believers the apostle Paul was so pleased to learn of their advancement in the things of Christ. Timothy's good report of the progress of the believers prompted Paul to pen this commendation, "For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God" (1 Thess. 3:9). The Thessalonians continued to "graduate" in the walk of faith and love." We pray that our UIM grads, too, will continue to progress in every dimension of life.

We share in the pride and joy that our mission families are experiencing with this year's graduating class. May you all continue to "increase in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men," even as our Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 2:52).

Way to go, grads!

In Christ Jesus,

Dan Fredericks, Executive Director

A High Five to our UIM Graduates!

It is a joy and honor to share with our readers the achievements and future plans of our missionary children. Each child is a testimony to the love and support of family and friends. Please join us in praying for the Lord's continued guidance in their future.
