This is incredible.
And I share it here because YOU are part of this beautiful work. Without your prayers and your donations, none of this could have happened. Please take a moment to look at these pictures, read this testimony and prayerfully discern donating something little more to help in these projects. This week is THANKSGIVING and we in the United States have SO MUCH to be thankful for... these persecuted Christians can benefit so much from your simple kindness.
To donate, please contribute either 1.) directly through PayPal, 2.) through this Facebook fundraiser (see post below) or 3.) through this gofundme link:

"Please accept "Thank you" from my country...
Greetings
I am writing this email to say thank you to you, Mary, for all you have done and doing for our people. A few days back, three women came to me and said they wanted to say thank you to you. Then I asked them to write a thank you note. Then I really did not know how this news spread. To my surprise many children, women and teachers sent their simple way of thanking you for your wisdom and spirituality.
Even a family came and the mother said that she has six daughters. She told me while she was crying that the father used to beat these girls because he wanted sons. But after attending sessions with teachers who teach children of the cross, he has grown to accept the dignity of women. Now he is respecting his daughters and sending them to pray for our children of the cross group.
Every day I am listening to these kinds of witnesses from my people. Last week a young girl came to me with her brother and said that please teach us how to pray. I sent them to children of the cross group. Hope the brother and sister will learn something deep.
I am sharing a few pictures with you, but believe me I have got countless pictures and so many witnesses.
And, personally, I am also very grateful to you for the seed of love, hope, life and light in my culture through your books. New conversions are everyday praying and really crying with tears because for the first time they have found the truth and peace in their lives, and this happened because of you.
Miracles are happening here. I am really surprised that even non Catholic leaders and pastors have asked me to include the message and texts from your books in their Sunday school books. I have heard with my own ears catholic priests mentioning about your books in their Sunday sermons.
Our people are really, spiritually, thirsty and hungry. Thanks for being their spiritual water and food.
And I really can not forget to say thank you to Dr. Sebastian who is always there for us. He is always part of our prayers. Many blessings for you and your family from me and my Country.
God bless you both, and I will write more very soon. Again thank you very much from my country."
