Dear Friend,
We did it! We’ve reached some major milestones in 2020 that we could never have accomplished without your faithful prayers and support. (Not the least, simply surviving 2020!)
Throughout the 2019/20 fiscal year, 190 Certified Counselors and 33 Trainees
faithfully led 310 group clients and 214 online clients through our bible studies,
covering 28 U.S. States, 10 countries, and 118 affiliated churches.
And, over 250 youth studies were distributed during that time.
2020 also saw us reach the major milestone of publishing our new revised editions of the women’s studies, Binding Up the Brokenhearted and The Hem of His Garment, complete with updated and improved leader’s guides! We are thrilled to see this nearly three-year development project reach publication and are excited about the many ways these revised resources will serve to further gospel-centered, grace-driven ministry for years to come.
We’ve also made enormous strides in retooling our E-Ministry tools to better serve our online clients. We hope to announce the launch of this in the coming months.
During a year that could easily have become a year of shrinking ministry due to the many restrictions, we are so thankful to look back and see we’ve actually continued growing.
So, as we turn the page on an eventful calendar year, we want to communicate a huge,
heart-felt THANKS to you, our partners in this ministry.
We also want to ask you to prayerfully consider how you can help us finish 2020 strong and how you might be a critical part of 2021 and beyond.
While we have seen God provide for us at every turn (He is so faithful!) we also have seen our share of loses this year. The challenges of 2020 have forced some regular givers (churches and individuals alike) to make difficult decisions to step back from their monthly donation commitments. This creates a need for us (and an opportunity for you) to raise up new support to cover gaps they have left.
So, here at the year-end of 2020, we humbly appeal to you as friends and supporters.
Could this be a year you can make a monthly commitment? A commitment of $25, $100, or more makes a tremendous difference – especially as we forecast budgeting. - Become a regular monthly donor (see special offer below*)
- Increase your existing monthly donation (from $25/mo to $50/mo, etc)
HealingHearts.org/donate - Set up an employer-matched giving program
- Donate stock (it’s easier than you might think!)
- Designate us as your charity with Amazon’s Smile program for your online shopping
(To date, we’ve received over $2,200 through Amazon Smile!) - Take part in #GivingTuesday (Dec 1st) to donate and share about us on social media
- Introduce us to a friend who would be interested in supporting something you are passionate about
We never want to be in the position to say “no” to a viable ministry opportunity or be left unable to meet a need in a timely fashion because we are understaffed. Unfortunately, this is a daily reality for us simply because we don’t have the adequate resources to meet each need or opportunity head-on. Your funds make a difference. There is so much more we can do with your support!
