Dear Drawing Near Friends,

I can't even begin to tell you how in awe I am of God!  He is doing amazing things in and through this ministry.  The Fall Semester, Making Space for the Words of Jesus, was transforming for all, including myself!  Be sure to register for the Winter/Spring Semester for a continuation of this study. Prayerfully consider who you will bring in January to experience Jesus in a fresh new way.

The Gala was surely a night to remember!  It was so beautiful from start to finish and everyone had a great time.  The final numbers are not in but we raised nearly $30,000., which will go toward the following:

• Paid Staff
• Website Maintenance & Ongoing Design
• Audio Recording & Production
• Video Recording & Production
• PR and Marketing for National Expansion
• Printing & Production of Books and Study Guides
• Graphic Design
• Childcare & Children's Curriculum
• Media Expansion

A big thank you to all who contributed to the success of this amazing event!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Joanne
