🎂 A Milestone of Gratitude: Sixty Years of God’s Faithfulness

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Today marks my 60th birthday, and as I reflect on these years, my heart is filled with gratitude to the Lord who has carried me every step of the way. My journey has not been without valleys—loss, uncertainty, and moments when the future seemed clouded—but through it all, God’s unfailing love and sustaining grace have never let me go.

My parents’ lives were shorter than I would have wished—both passing before they reached the age of 65. I have often thought about how short life can be, and how each moment is a gift we cannot take for granted. That is why I cherish each day God gives me and count every opportunity to serve Him as a blessing beyond measure.

In these sixty years, the Lord has allowed me to serve as a chaplain, to share His Word through SFIHG Ministries, and to walk alongside many of you in faith. I have seen His hand at work in the small and in the great—in answered prayers, in moments of unexpected joy, and in the quiet assurance that He is with us.

As I celebrate this milestone, I do so with a heart that says, “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name goes all the glory for Your unfailing love and faithfulness” (Psalm 115:1 NLT). My prayer is that the years ahead—whether many or few—will be spent serving Him wholeheartedly, loving others well, and planting seeds that will bear fruit for His Kingdom.

Thank you for walking this journey with me. Your prayers, encouragement, and fellowship mean more than words can express. Together, let us keep pressing forward in faith, trusting the One who holds our past, present, and future.

In Christ’s service,

Brother Jesse
