![Healing Hearts Ministries Internaional [LOGO]](https://www.healinghearts.org/nimages/HHLetterhead_Web700.png) Dear Friend, It's hard to believe that it's that time of year again. It seems like yesterday when I sat down to write the 2009 Christmas letter. Much has happened in the past year. Our world is changing and so many things are uncertain. If you listen to the news each day, it's hard not to get discouraged or even frightened about the future. What I love most about Christmas is that God sent us the gift of His only Son, that we might have hope for our future. As long as we have Him, we need not fear. Have you ever stopped to ponder that the God Who spoke the universe into being so desired that all men would come to know Him, that He sent His Son to us so we could know Him in an intimate way? I can hardly comprehend that someone would love me so much that He would give such a gift, that the Holy God of the universe would want to be intimately acquainted with me, so that even before I was born He provided a way for me to spend eternity with Him. Those of us who have received the gift of God's Son know the reason for this season, but it's sad to think that there are many who do not. We live in a world which is ravaged by sin and many around us have not received the gift that God sent on that Christmas day. The more we, as a ministry, reach outside the walls of the church, the more my heart breaks for the lost. Most of them are people who would never walk through the door of a church! Many have given up hope that their life will ever be any different than it is. Some have lost everything, even their will to live. They can't understand how anyone could love them, let alone God. For many, all they have experienced is a life of hurt and abuse. They don't see the church as a place of love, refuge, hope and help. This past year as I was preparing for my trip to Israel, I sent out a letter exposing the truth about prostitution and the sex trade industry there. Afterwards, I received quite a few calls and emails from individuals who were shocked by the information. Many confessed to me that they had never really taken the time to think about such things and they thanked me for opening their eyes. My friends, we don't have to go to Israel to see these kinds of things, they are happening right here in our own back yard. There are millions of people who are lost and broken and desperately need Jesus. God so loved us, now it's time for us to love others. I personally want to thank all of you who have prayed and given sacrificially to Healing Hearts and other ministries like ours so that those who are lost can be found and given hope. Your love is making the world a better place. If time and space permitted, I could share hundreds of testimonies with you, poignant words from people who now have a personal relationship with Jesus, who have been touched by His Word, have been healed and who now have hope and a new future. It is God's heart to love and minister to the least in this world. Because you care, we have been able to triple our missions program. Additionally, in 2010 we held the largest training in the history of our ministry. We are also now working on a Bible study for young girls, and soon to follow will be one for young men. We have also ministered to hundreds of people through our on-line ministry and our group Bible studies. The growth of the ministry is exciting and terrifying all at the same time! I also want to take the time to thank all of our faithful volunteers. We could not have accomplished all that we did this year had it not been for our volunteers. When I tell people that we run an international ministry on approximately $200,000.00 a year, people ask, "How do you do it?" It's only possible because of our amazing volunteers and staff. In any given month, we log well over 4,000 volunteer hours. I am so very thankful to all of the people who sacrifice their time and are always ready and willing to go the extra mile. When we get to Heaven there will be jewels in many crowns to be cast at the feet of our Lord. You are truly God's feet and hands in action. Last, but not least, I want to thank our small office staff for their great work and dedication. They could all work at jobs which pay much more, but consider what they do a ministry, not just a job. I don't think we could ever find a more dedicated staff. I'm truly blessed to work alongside them. Most importantly, I want to thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing us to serve Him through Healing Hearts. To God be the GLORY!!!!!!!! This next year we truly need your prayers and your financial support because:
There is much work to do. We pray that the Lord will touch your heart to give over this Holiday Season and to partner with us in ministry again this next year. Any size gift will be used to the glory of God. I pray that this Christmas will give you hope and encouragement that God not only sent His Son Jesus Christ, but that He will come again soon. May the Lord richly bless and keep you always. In His Love,  International Director |
