January, 2021

Dear Supporter of Healing Hearts,

Looking back on the crazy year that was 2020, there is so much for us to be thankful for... and we want to share the celebration with you.

Back in February 2020 and the unsettling months that followed, there was every reason to expect this year was going to be a difficult one for the ministry. But, despite the economic and social challenges of this year, we've seen a record outpouring of generosity toward our mission.

You have been an integral part of this! God has used your faithful service, prayers, and support to do mighty things beyond anything we could have ever imagined.

As you embrace the new year, please take some time to rejoice with us at what the Lord has done. He is worthy of our praise!

Our perseverant Healing Hearts Counselors combined to reach nearly 250 clients through creative uses of video/online groups and our E-Ministry interface.

Our leaders' and trainees' efforts to raise awareness of our ministry through Walks and #GivingTuesday fundraisers helped reach and motivate our donor base to contribute in big ways, bringing in a record $58,000+ from Walk donations, and a record $2,620 from Giving Tuesday fundraisers on Facebook!

Our faithful donor base continued to rise up to meet (and exceed!) our primary "Supporting Healing Hearts" budget goals. The combined 2020 goal was $140,000 of which we saw $159,435 raised!

In addition to covering our regular budget items, we had also set big goals to raise funds to help us develop and release some special projects: a "New Men's Study" and "E-Ministry Retooling". We are thrilled to report that both projects were successfully funded for $25,000 and $32,000!

This simply doesn't happen because we try hard (which we do), or because we are worthy of this outpouring (though we try to be) -- We truly believe it is because God is able to supply all our needs and works on our behalf for His glory. He has done this great thing and is worthy of our praise! So, please take time to rejoice with us and praise Him for His goodness.

Thanks for being part of the momentous year of 2020! May God continue to supply for all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus... our Savior, Lord, and returning King.
