Dear Ministry Partner–

We pray this letter finds you well, rejoicing in what God did in and through you in 2025. What we see in these unusual times are prophecies fulfilled! And we are reminded, as the Early Church experienced in Acts 28, the Gospel is unstoppable! No government, no man, no power can stop its life-changing, earth-shaking impact. To God be the glory!

Bridgette and I are humbled by your partnership. God did so many incredible things in and through us this past year. We continue to see spiritual hunger taking root deep within the hearts of believers across this nation, especially among this current generation. We have observed that Millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha are hungry for the authentic preaching of the Gospel. Our very own 16YO daughter is seeking to influence her own generation with the preached Gospel and we see God’s hand guiding her every step. My travels have been overwhelmingly successful and included revival series, worship conferences, and marriage conferences. God has shown Himself to still be a Savior of souls, healer of hearts and lives, and the baptizer in the Holy Ghost and with power!

Much Kingdom-building activity in the 21st century is being forged through movements that God has His hand on. These are often parachurch paradigms that capitalize on spiritual hunger while also directing new converts to the local church for discipleship. We are privileged to partner with a few such movements like Restoration Campmeeting (Waxahachie, TX) and the Acts 6:4 Network (Fort Worth, TX). For these assignments, God has partnered us with stellar, yet anointed musicians with like vision and purpose. Already, our ministry calendar includes opportunities for Bridgette and me to invest into the marriage and family units of our nation through marriage seminars. I truly believe that 2026 will be a year to call the prodigal Home and challenge families who follow Yahweh to stand in righteousness and intentionally pass on a generational faith to those coming up behind.

…the Light always shines brightest amid utter darkness.

Our ministry for ministry wives, Sanctuary, hosted its 10th Let’s Retreat event in Crawford, TX last November. Just ahead in September, Bridgette and her lead team will launch Sanctuary’s first ever mini-conference for ministry wives called Let’s Gather in Branson, MO! Registration is now open and the guest list is growing! Sanctuary continues to lend support to ministry wives across the nation through online and in-person connections. Bridgette continues to see growth of impact through the six Bible reading plans she has written for the YouVersion Bible app, with 65,000+ subscriptions in 179 countries to date! Her newest plan, Great is Your Faithfulness, is a 30-day plan highlighting the faithfulness of God with extensive Bible reading included.

Be encouraged, friend–the Light always shines brightest amid utter darkness. The Rapture of the Church is at the door, and we must continue to declare the Gospel loud and clear! “Thank you” never seems to be adequate to acknowledge the investment of God’s people into Chresten Tomlin Ministries. Without you, we simply could not continue to grow and go out to fulfill our calling.

Yours for Souls,
Chresten & Bridgette Tomlin
