These might be
some of the greatest stories ever told

which is why we might just have
the best job in North America.

We get to tell stories
about missionaries in the US and Canada

— stories that are so powerful
and so amazing,

we feel humbled
to even be here doing this.

Like, did you hear the story
about the Marine sniper

who’s planting a church?

Or the one about the missionaries
who started a laundromat

just so they could meet a need
and tell their neighbors about Jesus?

Or how about the church planter
in Wyoming

who’s discipling new believers,
then sending them out as circuit riders

to tiny, unreached towns
all over the state.

People call these “missionary stories.”
And that makes sense.

I mean, the missionaries are the ones
serving on the field

and they’re the ones on camera.

But there’s another main character
in each of these stories

you really can’t see
— not unless you look in a mirror.

You might not realize it,
but your faithful prayers

and your generosity
to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

— that’s where the fuel
and the encouragement

for these missionaries comes from.

I mean, God is taking
your prayers and gifts

and planting this missionary family
in a neighborhood

where they can “go into all the world”
without ever leaving their house.

He’s sending this missionary into
what might be

the most unreached community
in all of North America.

He even showed this couple
how to turn a border town

into a missions training center.

Your support makes you a main character
in every one of these stories

— stories of how God
is building His Kingdom.

He’s using thousands of missionaries,
some you’ll hear about

— most you’ll never even know —
and He’s using you.

Together we’re sharing the gospel
— the greatest story ever told —

with people who need to hear.

Together we’re stepping into the story.
