Dear Precious Sisters in Ministry,
Summer is here! It’s really HOT in Georgia! I hope you have had a good start to summer and to the vacation season — and that you are keeping cool.
Recently I have had some medical tests done and I found out that my thyroid is extremely low (Hashimoto’s Disease), and I’m in Stage 2 of kidney failure!! I am waiting to see a nephrologist to get his recommendation about what to do from this point forward about my kidneys. The thyroid issue is being dealt with.
Because of these issues, my Board of Directors has insisted that I take a break from Heart and Soul Connection (HASC) for 18 months to work on my getting my health back. I will however be counseling pastors’ wives during the Timothy + Barnabas Pastors’ Conferences sponsored by First Baptist Church Woodstock.
Because of the action of the HASC board, there will be no more retreats, newsletters, emails or answered phone calls until January, 2013. If you need a counselor in your area please click here.
One of the other concerns of the board is the ministry’s finances. It was decided at the meeting that there will be a continued effort to build up the finances in the next 18 months, so we can hit the road running in 2013.
I am going to ask something of you that I have never asked before in the 7 years of HASC. Would you or your church consider pledging and giving $1 to $5 per month to Heart and Soul Connection for the next 18 months? There is a “Donate” button at the top of this page to do that. Your response will help us determine if HASC has ecouraged and/or benefited you in any way, and if you’d like to see it continue in the future.
I pray that you will understand the heart of this message. I can’t tell you how much I love you all and pray for you. My passion is to encourage and resource you in your personal and ministy lives. I will miss you, but my prayers will still be lifted to the Father on your behalf. Pray for me, and before you know it, I will be back in the “saddle” again, Lord willing.
Much love and many blessings to you,
Nancy
