May the Lord bless you, keep you, and fill you with His peace. I pray that you are doing well and that you feel His presence and love with you each day.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for these past five months during which your generosity has made it possible for us to prepare a meal every week for the children who come to church. Your support has been much more than food on the table—it has been an expression of God's love for each one of them.

Since we began this ministry, the number of children coming to church has almost doubled—from around 12 to as many as 25. Some of them ask as soon as they walk through the door, "Are we going to have something to eat today?" Their joy touches my heart every single time.

But what brings me even greater joy is that along with this simple meal, they also receive spiritual nourishment. We spend time together listening to God's Word, praying, and talking about Jesus. I truly believe that through this simple act of love, many of these children experience for the first time that Jesus loves them, accepts them, and calls them to Himself.

As I watched their smiles and their joy, I felt it was important for you to know what God has done through your faithfulness. You are part of every meal, every child's smile, every prayer, and every heart that is being opened to Jesus. I believe that only in eternity will we fully see how many lives have been touched through your love and generosity.

If the Lord continues to lead your heart to be part of this ministry, I believe that many more children will experience His love and come to know Jesus through this simple meal. It would bring me great joy if we could continue this beautiful work together, all for His glory.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done. May the Lord richly bless you, protect you, and reward you for every seed of love you have sown into the lives of these precious children.

With love,

Biljana Nikolić
