Dear brothers,
Today, January 21, as we celebrate the 500th anniversary of Anabaptism, as a Honduran I express our most sincere gratitude to you and your parents for the sacrifice, dedication and love with which you have taught us the gospel of Jesus Christ. Your work in the missions has not only allowed us to know the truth of the Word of God, but has also integrated us into a community of faith that deeply values the principles of peace, love and commitment to the Kingdom of God.
Thank you for having paid the price, for persevering in the midst of challenges, for sharing the hope we have in Christ. Thank you for showing us, with your example and teaching, how to follow Jesus in a life of justice, humility and service. Thank you for having transmitted to us not only a message, but a way of living that reflects the heart of God.
Today, as part of this people celebrating 500 years of Anabaptism, we recognize that, thanks to you, we can walk under a faith that calls us to live according to the values of the Kingdom, always seeking what is just and true. Your dedication and commitment have not been in vain, and their fruits are seen in the community that we form together.
May God bless you abundantly, and may the legacy of your missionary work continue to multiply in the generations to come. Thank you for your obedience to God's call, for being instruments of transformation in our lives. May we continue forward together, celebrating God's faithfulness and extending his love to the world!
With gratitude and blessings
Mary Cano from Honduras
