It Couldn't Happen
Without You!
Greetings!
It couldn't happen without you, but did you know that in the first 11 months of 2010 we have seen more decisions made and provided more counseling than in any previous year? Please pray for workers for His harvest.
Thank you for praying and standing with us as we continue offering hope to those in challenging situations! God is listening and working! We now have 65 Hope's Heroes of the needed 300! Many convenient contribution methods are available!
We are very excited to announce the birth of Mary Grace Hurst, Bro. William and Pam's brand new daughter. She was born December 8th and weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. Her 5 brothers, Harrison, Benson, Gabriel, Jameson & Dallas will welcome her home.
Know that we love, pray for and appreciate you very much!
Bro. Mike

Challenging Circumstances?
|
|
Ever find yourself in challenging circumstances? Joseph and Mary sure did! Their response helps us know how to respond - (Matthew 1, 2; Luke 1, 2). Joseph is described as "a righteous man", a man who "considered things" and a man who "did as the Lord commanded him."
Mary is described as "favored" and "the Lord is with her." She "treasured things and pondered them in her heart." Each of them knew the importance of maintaining a right relationship with God and others, while soaking up, celebrating and enjoying God's blessings. We pray for a holy and Merry Christmas season with God's richest blessings for you in 2011!

Prayer Needs
* Funds for Operating - Only 20% of the funds
needed to keep this ministry open come from
clients. We are praying for 300 donors who have
been blessed by God, to support us each month
out of that abundance. Pray about joining that
group, Hope's Heroes.
* Health of the Staff - As counselors deal with so many problems each day, it can be a
heavy burden. Our counselors have families who need their attention too. If they
are not mindful, they will neglect caring for themselves. Pray for their mental,
physical, and emotional health.
* Volunteer Groups.
* 300 Hopes Heroes
* Families and individuals coming here for counseling.
* Workers for the harvest!

65 Hope's Heroes!
God has already blessed us with 65 Hope's Heroes! That's 21.6% of our goal! Several others are praying about their level of commitment. Our monthly budget expenses can be met if:
10 Heroes gave $500 (We have 12 - but always room for more!)
20 Heroes gave $250 (We have 7 - only need 13 more!)
30 Heroes gave $150 (We have 8 - only need 22 more)
40 Heroes gave $100 (We have 13 - only need 27 more)
50 Heroes gave $75 (We have 3 - only need 47 more)
60 Heroes gave $50 (We have 15 - only need 45 more)
90 Heroes gave $25 (We have 7 - only need 83 more)
God used 300, led by Gideon, to accomplish victory over those who threatened His people (Judges 6). The 300 refused to yield to fear while standing firm in faith. The result? God was glorified! We are asking God to raise up 300 to be Hope's Heroes who will support HFM on a consistent basis. As you consider God's gracious provisions, would you prayerfully consider becoming one of our 300?
