Dear North Baptist Church,

Thank you for your generous support of Samaritan's Purse.

Your generosity will enable us to continue sharing the love of Christ and the hope of the Gospel.

Dear Pastor Kim and the Congregation of North Baptist Church,

On behalf of all of us at Matthew 25: Ministries, thank you for your generous donation last month in support of our Kentucky relief efforts. We are deeply grateful for your compassion and your willingness to stand alongside those whose lives have been impacted by the devastating flooding.

When disasters strike, families often lose not only their homes and possessions but also their sense of stability and hope. Because of faithful churches, we are able to respond quickly with essential relief supplies, personal care items, food, cleaning supplies, and other critical resources that help families begin the long journey of recovery.

Your generosity is making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by these storms. It is encouraging to know that congregations like yours are answering Christ's call to care for those in need through both prayer and action.

Thank you for partnering with Matthew 25: Ministries in this important work. We truly could not respond as quickly or effectively without the support of churches like yours.

If your congregation would ever be interested in learning more about Matthew 25: Ministries and our disaster relief efforts, my husband, Rev. Joe Leonard, and I would be honored to visit your church. We, too, are American Baptists, and Joe was once part of the Ohio Leadership Academy, where he taught on worship. Whether during a worship service, Sunday School class, missions meeting, or another gathering, we would love the opportunity to share how God is using faithful partners to bring hope and practical assistance to people in need, both here in the United States and around the world. We would also enjoy learning more about North Baptist Church and exploring ways we might partner together in ministry.

Thank you again for your generosity and for faithfully serving the Lord through your support of those in need. May God richly bless you and the entire Church family.

Grace and Peace,

Pam Leonard
