[**This post is based on a targeted physical newsletter appeal being sent out. Due to delays from the Canadian postal strike, I’m praying that God would still speak to potential partners so that we continue to get our support up to a strong level. If you’re already a financial partner with me, thank you! If you’re not yet financially partnering, please prayerfully read this appeal over and consider joining the Ministry Partnership Team. Peace friends!]
Merry Christmas from Steve, Daphne and the family! As we enter into this season, we pray that you will have a very uplifting family time as you once again prepare to celebrate the incarnation of God through the birth of His Son Jesus! “He will be great…his kingdom will never end” (Luke 1:32-33).
Nikki’s Story (the power of partnership)
Nikki, one of the moms that came to a parenting conference we taught this year, was encouraged to build family times and devotions into her family’s rhythm. While trying our plan out, to her amazement, her children began opening up and sharing important information. She’s finding more connection as she gets to know her kids better and what they’re thinking. She’s now committed to keeping these important times a priority for her household.
Another parent shared with us:
“This event was a great reminder of ways in which we can keep Christ at the centre of our homes.”
Stories and testimonies like these are what inspire me to keep serving as a missionary with FamilyLife Canada. I don’t want families missing out on the fulfillment of having Christ at the centre of their home. Many families are missing out on this reconciling power like a balloon without air. (See what I did there?) I need your support to spread this message of help and hope!
Do you believe in the mission of offering help and hope to families in the name of Jesus so they don’tmiss out on His fulfilling blessings? We bring help and hope to every home in Canada by helping families flourish and live on mission and by partnering with churches to strengthen families in their communities.
How Can You Support? (I can’t do this without partners)
As 2024 comes to a close, would you prayerfully consider supporting this ministry by starting a monthly partnership of $50, $100 or $200/month? Or perhaps you’ll consider a special gift or annual commitment? I’d love to sit down with you to share my story and the vision so you can be more informed as you pray for families. Send me a message to setup a time to get together!
Our family is trusting the LORD for an additional $1300/month to stabilize our family finances and this ministry in the region and beyond. I am also seeking $5000 to go towards our annual ministry budget. This budget includes expenses such as event and appointment mileage, network meals, training and development, and other general expenses.
