![Healing Hearts Ministries Internaional [LOGO]](https://www.healinghearts.org/nimages/HHLetterhead_Web700.png) Dear Friend,  This new year marks an exciting milestone for us – the 30th anniversary of Healing Hearts Ministries!It began with a dream of compassion, a burden for bringing healing and restoration through God’s Word to women suffering the after-effects of abortion. Over the years that vision has been blessed by God beyond what we could ever have dreamed. Healing Hearts has grown in many respects, but the occasion of our anniversary is a good time to reaffirm our core purpose and beliefs. We want everything we do--from the development of Bible studies, to counselor training, to incorporating new strategies—to be used by God to continue to draw, support, love, and heal those whose lives have been shattered by sin. As a Healing Hearts supporter, you continue to be an indispensable part of this ministry as the work goes forward. Sadly, 2018 marks another milestone – the 45th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize abortion on demand. Despite what we hear from the proponents of abortion, this anniversary is nothing to celebrate. It is, however, an opportunity for us to let our voices be heard.  Sunday, January 21, is National Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.* Those of us who are committed to the value of every human life as God’s unique creation have answers to share, and we must be bold to speak out.Although abortion rates are dropping, the impact of abortion on individuals and society is real and can’t be dismissed. The harm extends far beyond the taking of a life in the womb, with a potentially devastating effect on all involved. Whether it’s the emptiness and shame of some or the seemingly casual attitude of others, abortion has an insidious and toxic effect on society. We know the only answer is found in Jesus Christ and his Word. Our nation still needs to hear the message of the value and sacredness of human life. Those facing an unplanned pregnancy need to know that they have choices and will be supported if they choose life. Men and women whose lives or marriages have been shattered by abortion need to know there is hope. What can you do to help? First of all, we encourage you to become involved in Sanctity of Human Life Sunday events in your church or community. Pray that our nation’s heart would be collectively changed, that the veneer of acceptance would be peeled away, and that abortion would be seen for what it is—the taking of a human life. As the year goes on, find ways to reach out in love to those who may be carrying the weight of guilt and shame resulting from abortion. They are in your community, in your school, even in your church. Some have been carrying this weight for a lifetime. Whether they are hiding the shame or not, one of the best things you can do is to let them know there is a lifeline within reach… Healing Hearts Ministries. Healing Hearts is committed to being a lifeline of hope for those who are hurting from the sin of abortion. We consider post-abortive men and women to be one of the largest mission fields in America, and we are equipped for the battle with uniquely designed studies, small group offerings, trained counselors, and online studies. Each one of our studies addresses issues of forgiveness and healing, and presents God’s extraordinary love and grace as the only answer to the pain of sin. We hold forth the truth that there is healing, salvation, and restoration in Jesus Christ alone—and we offer this truth to everyone who God brings to us. You can be a part of our lifeline by spreading awareness of the help we offer. We have found that when Healing Hearts becomes visible in a local or church community, those who have been hurting in secret will be drawn out towards the hope of healing, and ultimately, towards freedom in Christ. Here’s what you can do:
PRAY WITH US! for the Good News to go forth in our communities; for wounded hearts to be convicted of their sin and healed; for churches to invest in ministering to this often overlooked or avoided issue. As always, thank you for helping us make a difference through your gifts of time, prayer, and finances. If you have not already, please consider becoming a monthly donor. Every $25, $50 or more makes a world of difference now and for eternity. May God bless you in this New Year as you help to share His Good News with a world in need.
