As November begins, we're launching something special here at Mosaic International: our November Month of Gratitude. This isn't a fundraising initiative or an appeal for donations. Instead, it's a month dedicated entirely to you, our incredible community of donors, volunteers, and supporters who make global impact possible.

What Is the November Month of Gratitude Campaign?

The November Month of Gratitude is Mosaic International's annual celebration of donor impact and community transformation. Throughout November, we share real stories from the field, stories of families receiving clean water, children finding hope, and communities coming together because supporters like you chose to make a difference.

This campaign isn't about fundraising. It's about recognition, celebration, and showing you the tangible impact of your charitable giving. During this November Month of Gratitude, you'll see exactly how your contributions have changed lives.

Four Ways Your Support Creates Change

The stories we're sharing during this November Month of Gratitude fall into four overlapping movements that define our work:

Relief: Meeting Immediate Needs

When disaster strikes, whether typhoons, floods, landslides, or famine, impoverished families rarely have a safety net. Your support provides life-saving disaster relief through local churches positioned to help their communities when they need it most. During this November Month of Gratitude, we're celebrating how your donations have reached the most vulnerable at their most desperate moments, with meals served, homes repaired, and communities restored.

Development: Building Long-Term Sustainability

Short-term relief saves lives, but long-term development transforms communities. This November Month of Gratitude highlights how your generosity has empowered local leaders through solar lighting projects, clean water access, church trainings, and support for local entrepreneurs. Even small initiatives immediately strengthen the health and success of families, no matter how remote their village.

Discipleship: Making Disciples Who Make Disciples

At the heart of our work, and central to this November Month of Gratitude, is strengthening the local church to build disciples. Your contributions have provided resources, guidance, and support to pastors as they hold conventions, visit villages, and improve their church's capacity to reach their communities. Children have been reached through evangelism, adults invested in through trainings, and pastors equipped for greater collaboration and impact.

Mobilization: Churches Reaching Their Neighbors

We don't change the world by merely attending church. We change the world by being the church to our neighbors. This November Month of Gratitude shares stories of how churches have moved beyond their buildings and into their communities, with families hearing the Good News, meals hand-delivered with prayer, and churches mobilized to reach neighboring villages.

The Power of One: Your Individual Impact Matters

You might sometimes wonder if your individual contribution really makes a difference. Let us assure you: it absolutely does.

Every single donation, volunteer hour, prayer, and share on social media creates a ripple effect. One family receives clean water, which means children can attend school, which means the next generation can break the cycle of poverty. One meal program feeds a community, which means workers have energy to provide for their families, which means local economies strengthen.

Your "yes"however big or small, has created lasting change.

Looking Ahead: A Season of Thanksgiving

As we move through November and into the holiday season, the theme of gratitude becomes even more prominent. Thanksgiving reminds us to pause and acknowledge our blessings.

The Month of Gratitude extends that practice throughout the entire month.

This year, as you gather with family and friends, we hope you'll carry these stories with you. Share them around your table. Let them inspire conversations about generosity, compassion, and making a difference in the world.
