Don Thompson shares about his rocky road and how he never lost faith

By Jon Dize, CFRE
Director of Development & Strategic Initiatives

As we face the end of our lives, we are frequently struck with what will be left behind and what kind of impact that we can make for God’s Kingdom.

For Don Thompson, it has been a life of ups and downs—of facing loss and uncertainty in his relationships and even facing his own mortality. But, his faith was not shaken. When his mother passed, he sought to make a contribution that would further His Kingdom as well as pay tribute to his mother. He shares that in his letter that follows.

Dear Reader,

For me, life has been a journey, and sometimes it has been a rocky road, yet I have kept my eyes on the cross through difficult times. The Bible verse stating, “I will never leave you or forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5 ESV) has been true in my life because God has been with me every step of the way.

I was familiar with Worship Anew through tending for my mother who passed away in 2014. She was an avid follower of the program since she was unable to attend church. She enjoyed the singing of the hymns, the sermons, and praying with the ministers each week. She wished she could support Worship Anew.

Hopefully, I will be able to satisfy her desires with a part of my estate to Worship Anew. It will be money well spent to give honor and glory to the Lord who has been very good to me.

If you can find it in your heart, Worship Anew is an opportunity to honor the Lord for all of His wonderful blessings He has given to you. It would be a way to help spread the gospel to others. It will be something that you would be proud of and never regret doing.

God bless you and Worship Anew. Our good Lord is our perfect judge to always look at our heart in action with our giving.

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21 ESV).

~ Don
