God’s Blessings in 2025

Please join us in praising Jesus for every good and perfect gift (James 1:17), for every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3), for every promise that is “yes” in Him (2 Corinthians 1:20)!

At the end of each year, it is appropriate to look back and recall the many blessings the Lord has graciously given. In our ministry, we are humbled by His willingness to use us in His kingdom and in awe of how He continues to draw fellow students of His Word into our groups. This year we had participants from eighteen states and one additional country in one online Bible study group! Jesus, His Spirit, is our Teacher, and we are all growing together as we study His Word. Join us in 2026 for one of these studies!

In person, we held local fellowships, Bible studies, and a ladies’ retreat. What a blessing to get to meet some of our online friends in person as we spent a weekend in the foothills of NC with ladies from six different states! We “looked to Jesus,” to behold His glory in the Tabernacle, and He transformed our lives as we did (2 Corinthians 3:18 is the basis of our retreats). Want to join us in person in 2026? Mark your calendars now for our next ladies’ retreat: September 11-13, 2026, same beautiful location as our 2025 retreat!

We praise Jesus for the display of His power through countless answered prayers this year…if you were part of our ministry, these are prayers YOU prayed. Thank you for partnering with us, agreeing with us, interceding with us in prayer. Jesus proved to be Healer, Comforter, Counselor, Protector, Redeemer, Savior, and Sovereign King in situation after situation. He is faithful, and He chooses to respond to the prayers of His people. Isn’t He kind?

While we offer Jesus all the praise and glory, we also want to thank each person who participated in our studies and events, for praying for each other and for us, for offering kind words of encouragement, and for giving generously to this ministry. Once again, the Lord provided all we needed through donations to offer every event at no charge to participants. Scholarships were even made available to cover the retreat fees charged by the facility! Praise Jesus! He is our Provider!

May the Lord richly bless each one who has partnered with us for the sake of the gospel! What Paul wrote to the Philippian believers (in Philippians 1:3-7) reflects our gratitude as well:

“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.”

May each day, week, month, and year be lived for Jesus, by the power of His Spirit in us. God bless!
