Gratitude
Good Soil Partners began by providing scholarships to young people to enable them to attend secondary school, college and university. When Good Soil Academy was created, some of our generous donors stepped forward to ensure that we'd continue to support our remaining scholars to their graduation date. This week we received very kind words of thanksgiving from two graduating scholarship recipients. I share some of them with you because your support of Good Soil Academy helped GSP to continue its support for our legacy scholarship recipients such as two scholars who just graduated from Mzuzu University. One graduate wrote:
"Your support went beyond words. Through your financial assistance, you removed barriers that could have limited my education. Through material support, including the provision of a personal computer ("PC"), you empowered me to learn, research and grow academically. Your spiritual guidance strengthened my faith and hope during challenging moments, while your psychological and emotional support gave me the courage, confidence and resilience to persevere when the journey felt difficult.
Because of you, I was able to dream, to persist and to succeed. This achievement is not mine alone, it is a reflection of your commitment to transforming lives through genuine care, sacrifice, and compassion. I will forever remain grateful for the role you have played in shaping my future. May God richly bless the GSP team abundantly and continuously for the good work you do. May you remain a source of hope and inspiration to many generations to come."
A second graduate recently posted the following:
"Goodsoil Partners has been a pillar of strength, providing me with school fees and other essential necessities as well as mentorship program(s) which have significantly contributed to my spiritual and academic success. Additionally, the leadership training sessions offered have been invaluable, equipping me with the skills necessary for success in life. I sincerely appreciate Goodsoil Partners' commitment to making a difference in the lives of students like me."
If you have given to GSP or prayed for our students, (or done both), you are part of the GSP team. At GSP we are so grateful that your generosity does something tangible. At GSP the value of your generosity is measured in transformed lives. Tonight, when you go to bed, no matter how bad a day you've had, you can rest, knowing that your generosity is being used to transform lives in tangible and meaningful ways.
For His kingdom,
Dean
