As we Step Forward as a ministry, I’m continually reminded that God’s provision is rarely early or rushed—but it is always faithful.

This past year included seasons that required us to slow down, listen more closely, and trust more deeply. There were challenges that tested our patience and stretched our faith, yet they also clarified our calling and strengthened our dependence on God rather than our own efforts. Scripture reminds us that the steadfast love of the Lord endures forever, and we have seen that truth lived out again and again.

Recently, CSI Ministries was humbled to receive an estate gift designating the ministry as part of a legacy. Gifts like this are never about a single moment or individual. They are a testament to years of faithful service—by missionaries, staff, volunteers, board members, churches, and supporters who have given of themselves to bring people closer to Christ through missions. This legacy gift reflects the lasting impact of that shared obedience.

As a ministry, we continue learning what it means to stay in step with where God is leading—resisting the urge to push ahead in our own strength, and instead resting in His provision and timing. Often, it is in the waiting and the refining that God does His deepest work, preparing us not just for what we do next, but for who we are becoming along the way.

To everyone who has served, supported, prayed, and partnered with CSI Ministries—past and present—thank you. Your faithfulness matters. Together, we move forward with gratitude for the past, steadiness in the present, and confidence in the One who leads us.
