A Thanksgiving Note from the Buesgens Family
Hello friends,
Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we’ve been thinking back on the last year—how much has changed, how many moving pieces are finally coming together, and how many times we’ve felt carried by the people God has placed around us. That includes you.
Your prayers, your messages, your encouragement, and your financial partnership have made a real difference in the daily decisions we’re making as we prepare for Taipei. There have been moments this year when we’ve needed wisdom, clarity, or just a reminder that we’re not doing this alone—and then one of you reached out, we’d see your name on a prayer note or a monthly gift, and it has honestly helped us keep going.
For all the big and little things, we are so grateful.
As our family nears the next season of our ministry, we’re more aware than ever that missions is something God builds through community, working together just like a team. Every conversation we’ve had, every budget line we’ve wrestled through, every prayer over our kids and the café in Taipei—it’s all connected to a community of people who believe in the Great Commission enough to invest in it. Thank you for taking part in our incredible support team.
Wherever Thanksgiving finds you this year, we pray blessing over you and your family. May you feel the Lord’s nearness and His kindness.
From our family to yours: thank you. We don’t take you for granted.
Grateful for you,
Ryan, Mandie, and the kids
