A Sneek Peek at 2008

In our Fall newsletter, our Executive Director, Johna Hale tells of the New Beginning. By God's design of 7, our 8th year of ministry is the year of a New Beginning.

We have many plans for 2008 including:

• Facilitator Training and Support
  
• Further Outreach to Those Clouded in Sexual Shame
  
• Continued Advancement in Resources
  
• Development of New Resources
  
• Planning for a Nationwide Support Network
  
• and continued operations of this ministry

We wish that this could all be done for free - but it cannot!

During this giving time of year, you will receive many opporunties to make an offering - please consider all of them. When considering L.I.F.E. Ministries reflect on how our program has changed your life, the life of your spouse, and the lives of those in your church & churches across the world.

Your tax-deductible donations will be used for 2008 plans to cultivate the core of our ministry, continue extending a hand to those in darkness, and deliver more of God's children to sexual integrity.

There are two ways to give this year:

One-time Offering

A one-time tax-deductible donation. Keep in mind, donors of $200 or more will become a L.I.F.E. partner (what's this?).

Monthly Pledge

A reoccuring donation each month for one year. Keep in mind, donors of $20 or more each month will become a L.I.F.E. partner (what's this?).

Holiday Book Buying

With Christmas not far off L.I.F.E. Ministries realizes that although we celebrate Jesus Christ as the reason for the season, purchasing gifts for our friends, family and loved ones is still a wonderful way to show appreciation and love to one another.

Books, music and computer media are always popular and there are great places to buy these items. L.I.F.E. would like to remind everyone that these mega-book store chains and any book store for that matter, are not always the safest places for people in recovery from sexual addiction to browse.

Many of you have been very helpful in relaying the message to us here and we’d like to do our part as well. Please realize that there are safer ways to be “out and about” this holiday season. If you are planning on purchasing books and the like, consider finding the titles, topics or authors you want on the many internet sites selling them.

You can call ahead for the items your thinking about to see if they are available and have them waiting at the register with your name when you arrive. You can ask someone to go with you to these stores to help create some accountability.

And, if you must go and get the book by yourself, let someone in your group or your sponsor know before hand. When you arrive at the store, it may be wise to ask someone who works there to take you to the place where what you’re looking for is located, this might be smarter than simply “launching out” into the store to discover just how much garbage there really is.
We hope that you have a safe and wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,
Larry G.
