Out With 2009 & In With 2010
Posted By Karen Jones on December 20, 2009
A Note to Our Choices for Women Partners in Ministry:
As we close out 2009 we want to thank you for your faithfulness to this ministry; a commitment that is clear through your financial support. We prepare for 2010 with anticipation, knowing God has a plan for this ministry to continue touching lives with the hope of Christ; to continue changing hearts – and to continue saving lives in the process.
In essence, Choices for Women is here to build a wall of protection for women and families in this area facing unplanned pregnancies. We want to be the first choice for women, a choice of hope and a place where they can learn of the empowering choice of life, both physical and eternal.
We’re together in a powerful endeavor
Ours is a great calling, to be sure. In today’s political, social and economic climate, defending the lives of children with love and conviction is – quite honestly – difficult. But we’re in this together. God has placed us in this moment not to decry this calling as a burden, but to take it on as the clarion challenge of our generation – and to succeed in truly turning our culture toward life.
Client numbers have nearly doubled from 2008. Unfortunately, our finances have not increased at the same pace. But – despite the challenges – our plan is to continue moving forward as a ministry. When it comes to matters of life, there is no room for retreat.
Launching Choices for Women into the New Year
At year-end, your special gift will give us a significant boost as we close out this record-setting year and set our course for 2010. If this is possible for you, we would appreciate your remembering Choices for Women. If you are giving monthly, perhaps you will consider a “13th Gift” at this time, matching your regular investments in this ministry with an extra gift. If you give at other intervals, you may want to join many others who are planning to match a major gift from the last 12 months as we enter the Christmas season. Every gift is appreciated and every gift makes a difference.
With Christmas upon us, there is much to be thankful for. We are thankful for you and your heart for this ministry. It is – to be sure – an encouragement.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this letter. In the days ahead I look forward to sharing with you how through your gifts Choices for Women is truly touching hearts, saving lives – and in our corner of the world – creating a culture of life in America.
Committed for Life,
Rose Condra, Executive Director
Mrs. Sandra Naugle, Board Treasurer
