Older sisters praying for my younger sister or asking me how she’s doing now - these were and still are incredibly strengthening as I am reminded through your initiatives to ask about her/check in that I am never alone in carrying any burdens in life and that I have a whole host of older sisters supporting me! Very thankful for your emails, specific book recommendations, verse sharings or even opening up about your personal experiences with family members’ mental health - my sister said that a highlight from her year was feeling sustained through the many righteous prayers of people she has never met but knows she had a tie to through me ❤️

The example of love from all the older ones. I really appreciated getting to ask advice from different older sisters and receive a lot of strength and wisdom from their sharings. I’m really thankful for all the bi-vo sisters who set the example of surrenderedness living a life on mission. For the full time leads I’m thankful for the life on life we got to experience and their vision for us and grace. So thankful to have so many older sisters to look up to and have fun with :)

For jacqui! Thank you for being so faithful to our big class of super seniors lol, I’m really grateful for how you loved and invested into me, and even when it must have been difficult on your end you always spoke truth to me and sought me out. I learned how to be more relational bold because of your example and to value truth in my life, thank you for always pointing me back to Christ, my identity in him, and the grace I have received. Love ya haha!! :)

For Rosa, Casey, Sammie, and Grace (and all the older sisters who've been food leads at different times throughout the year)--I get stressed being food lead for a small bible study of ~30 ppl but seeing you guys keep your cool, plan ahead, and taking time to teach us how to get better at cooking really stands out to me

Thank you so much for opening your home to us, making meals for us, and entrusting us with your children. I see how tightly planned the day really ends up being when you have a child and yet somehow you all have been able to invite us into your lives, making us meals, and even allowing us to care for your kids overnight. I’m not a mom but I know that’s no easy sacrifice.

# data[].attributes.body
For Casey and Aurona! I remember being really challenged by the picture of you guys going out to BC campus in the early days to do bouquet outreach, dining hall outreach, all sorts of outreach even though you both have busy jobs, babies, etc. I saw in you guys a picture of not slowing down even when life circumstances get harder.

# data[].attributes.body
Thankful for older sisters who have really loved me this year and claimed ownership over me, I always feel really loved and comforted just by being around you guys, and am very grateful for the ways you speak truth to me and help me to see a bigger picture than I can often see - in terms of life and ministry.

the times of DT sharing led by you guys during our first few months here, and how you prepared yummy breakfasts for us so early in the morning :) I was really thankful to hear how you applied the text to the different experiences of being here on a first year church plant!

# data[].attributes.body
The way the older sister all took time to talk to us and care for us despite their busy schedules — juggling ministry and having children! Seeing all of you pour out your time, energy, resources, and money to love us, students, and different ones in the church really inspired me to one day be able to do the same. Thank you for all the wisdom you’ve given to us and being so patient with us!

Thank you so much!

Being loved and cared for by all the older sisters here. Whether they lived in KBL or not, they always loved us. Thankful especially to the moms who loved us and cared for us like their own children and let us eat whatever, play with their kids and always checked up on us even though they are so much busier and sleep a lot less than us!

For the moms who trusted us to watch their kids. Even though it’s probably hard to leave your kids at childcare to go do outreach, it was really inspiring to see all the moms sacrificing this area of their lives for God

# data[].attributes.body
I’m thankful for the moms for hosting us this year and inviting us to be apart of their families, though they don’t have to. It brings me a lot of joy to be with your kiddos through babysitting and joyland and I’m really thankful to have all of you to see an example of living out your faith and prioritizing the great commission while having to balance work and family.

For cohort sisters inviting us over for dinner many times! And treating us like family whenever we went over. Thankful for their energy and example of doing ministry as a cohort and persevering thru hard times.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for exemplifying a sacrificial life through concretely surrendering your kiddos and entrusting them with us & not slowing down despite having given birth, recently recovered, being new moms of 2, or juggling your kids’ sicknesses.  Thank you for showing us that it’s possible to do ministry as life gets harder and for being godly women of faith who I can look up to as my role models :)

I think there have been a lot of conversations I've gotten to have with you guys whether it be after dt and going to a room with me to pray, sitting in a car and talking, going out to a meal or for coffee together, random pop-ins at KBL, brunches. Even though CPIs have such a strong group identity and we're always so loud, each of you broke into that and cared for us through these conversations and lending listening ears
