Dear Friend,
Natalie and her daughter Julia came to a Healing Hearts' Walking Together Conference back in 2015. Since then, it has been on Natalie's heart to make the most of her time with her only daughter, Julia, since she is growing up so quickly. She realizes she only has a few years left to pour into her daughter. These questions often resound in her heart: "Have I thoroughly equipped her? Is she ready to walk with Christ in the future He has laid out for her?"
After attending the Walking Together event, Natalie bought the First Love Bible study in order to disciple Julia even more deeply. She wanted her daughter to know Jesus as her First Love and to be prepared for a future marriage relationship someday, Lord willing. Although Natalie saw this as "her time" with her daughter, she and Julia invited other moms and daughters to join them and a First Love group of eight was formed.
I had the blessing and privilege of meeting and sharing fellowship with this group while they were going through First Love together. I was also able to join them for their end-of-study celebration where each girl was handed a Certificate of Completion by her mom, with a big hug and words of encouragement. It was a truly touching and teary moment for all of us.
During our celebration time, the group shared with me their desire to do two things as they move forward:
#1 ) They are planning a Walking Together Weekend Retreat using our brand new Walking Together video curriculum! They want other moms and daughters to catch the vision of what God is doing to strengthen the family by helping them walk together with Jesus and each other.
#2 ) They are currently promoting a First Love Bible study group to begin this fall. They will be inviting other moms and daughters to join them as they AND their daughters facilitate the new study together. They want to help more moms and daughters catch the vision of learning and applying God's Word together at home. God has also blessed them by bringing two female youth leaders to join this group to walk alongside young women who may not have moms willing to do the study with them. These two godly leaders will step in as spiritual "mamas," as I call them.
Isn't that beautiful?
Our vision from the beginning of this project has been for Walking Together to be a resource that draws moms into applying biblical healing to their relationships, which can be the first step to recognizing their own need for deeper healing. In the back of every Walking Together workbook, moms are encouraged to go through our Healing Hearts Recommended Resources, Binding Up the Brokehearted or The Hem of His Garment for their own personal healing.
Natalie and her small group of moms and daughters from Cincinnati, Ohio have completely caught the vision God gave Healing Hearts Ministries several years ago:
"Healing Hearts... healing families... one heart at a time."
What about you?
Are you ready to be a part of this growing vision with us?
NEW Walking Together Video Curriculum -NOW AVAILABLE!
Our vision is a God-sized vision: that every church would have a copy of Walking Together on their shelves. The Walking Together curriculum has helped hundreds of women. With your help in spreading the word about this resource, and your continued support of this ministry, we believe we can reach thousands more with hope and help in Christ.
Will you join us in realizing this God-sized vision?
Please consider purchasing a copy to gift to your church's youth or women's ministry today.
Thank you for helping us spread the Good News of hope and healing to the brokenhearted.
In Christ,
Camille Cates Youth Division Director |
