Dear Friends,

This summer and fall have been a wonderful time of continuing to grow and learn on this journey called Life.  Yahweh has been good in opening many new doors and guiding my every step!

In September, I became the co-host of Women Encouraging Women Radio Show where our heart is to encourage other women from a Biblical and Torah based Perspective.  Melanee, whom I co-host with, and I interview various women talking on topics applicable primarily to ladies, but the guys enjoy the show as well!  Some recent topics have including healthy eating and lifestyle, Biblical relationships and marriage, mothering, how to study the Bible, and celebrating the Biblical Feast Days. Our new show comes out each week on Sundays on our website (www.womenencouragingowmen.org), and we are currently heard on two different internet based radio stations. 

 Furthermore, Purify 2014 - Retreat for Hebrew Roots Singles will be here before you know it!  We will be hosting our second annual retreat once again in the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio area May 29 - June 1, 2014.  The vision of Purify is to give singles a chance to grow in the Lord and fellowship with like minded believers.  If you are a single, we invite you to join us.  Our speakers this year include Mike Clayton, Hollisa Alewine, David Rives, Jocelin Boutet, and Terry Boutet.  To find out more and register, please visit www.purify2014.com.  Also, please check out the YouTube video about Purify 2014 at http://youtu.be/A5YCsDTzKDo. 

Recently, I experienced major trouble with my computer making it basically unusable.  After being in and out of the repair shop almost constantly for the past couple of months, I finally received both good and bad news on my computer. The bad news - it was declared a lemon; the good news -  as a result of the lemon status, I received a financial re-imbursement.  During the shopping process and price comparing, I found that due to all the ministry work the computer is used for, I needed to upgrade some of the technical features.  As a result of the newer operating system, I also had to upgrade some of the software. The final total ended up being an additional $1,000 beyond the re-imbursement received.  The ministry would like to cover this need, so I am asking you to consider helping the ministry make up the financial difference.  If you feel led to, please check out the ministry donation page at -  http://standinginyhvhshand.org/donate.htm. 

Also, progress is being made on a brand new resource for financial coaches, and I look forward to sharing that with you in the next few weeks.  Your continued prayer as we finalize it is much appreciated.

On a personal note, my family had a wonderful Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) with our congregation in September.  Then in October, one of my best friends was married, and I had the privaledge of being her maid of honor.  Our family bakery also kept us very busy over the summer.

Thank you for keeping me and the ministry in your prayers.  Also, thank you for your financial support!
