Grateful Hearts, United Mission — 2025 Annual Thanksgiving Banquet Recap

On October 4, 2025, Springs of Water International Ministries hosted the Proverbs Discipleship Bible Study Series Premiere & Thanksgiving Banquet at the Hilton Orange County in Costa Mesa. Nearly 300 friends, partners, and supporters gathered to celebrate the release of this powerful new discipleship resource — nearly two years in the making.

The afternoon overflowed with joy and inspiration. Guests enjoyed the premiere screening of the Proverbs discipleship film, uplifting messages from guest speakers Pastor Yang Xi-ru and Pastor Zhuang Xin-de, worship in song, a guided book introduction, and warm fellowship over a celebratory lunch.

The response was both enthusiastic and deeply generous. That day, $45,000 was raised to support the upcoming production of the Ecclesiastes Discipleship Bible Study Series — a beautiful testament to what God accomplishes when His people come together in faith and shared vision.

We are profoundly grateful to everyone who attended, gave, and continues to stand with SOWIM’s mission to equip the global Church through Scripture-centered discipleship. From Proverbs to Ecclesiastes — God’s Word is bearing fruit, and we are honored to sow alongside you.

Together, let us keep planting, keep building, and keep trusting for the harvest ahead!
