Winter 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends, The weather has taken a turn for winter, and we are having temperatures in the 30s most days. Our family is enjoying having a wood stove this winter and how warm it heats the house! We had our first board meeting for Standing in YHVH's Hand Ministries in October where we worked on and analyzed the code of regulations as well as prepared for the legal paperwork to be done. I can gladly say that paperwork is all done and on it's way to the attorney! We will be submitting that to the state this week, so please pray for a smooth approval process. We should hear back from the state in one to two weeks. Once that is back, we'll be able to submit to the federal level which is a much longer process of up to nine months. Work has begun on a Women's Retreat hosted by Standing in YHVH's Hand Ministries for August 15-18, 2012 in beautiful Amish Country of Ohio. The event will feature three female speakers - Varda Harris, Carol Boutet, and myself. We will also be having a Shabbat Service on Saturday lead by Eddie Chumney. The website and information on the retreat just went live over the weekend, so please pray for a wonderful response as well as for the word to spread far and wide. You can learn more about the retreat yourself at www.setapartgems.org. I'm already working on all the presentations related to the retreat which means writing, research, and PowerPoint's. Please pray for me during this process, and that they will be completed by Spring of 2012. That will free me up to focus on final details as the time draws closer to the actual event. One of the ways that I have been encouraged to help make the ministry more visible is by YouTube videos, so I took advantage of "Black Friday" and purchased a pocket camcorder that was on a super sale! I will be using that camcorder to begin making monthly videos to be shared in the newsletter, on YouTube, on Facebook, and even a great way for you to help spread the word to your friends. Please be in prayer as I begin recording. My goal is to post the first video in January and continue posting at least one a month while working to increase the frequency as I get more and more comfortable with recording and editing. Work continues on the book I am writing Standing on My Parents Shoulders. I have written over 50 pages in pre-formatting stage which once formatted will make it around 75 pages. Please pray that I continue to focus on writing this book the Lord has laid on my heart. I would like to write at least 10-20 pages a month and have the book completed by Fall 2012. I was also once again on the Torah Life Ministries show on an episode talking about the headcovering. Please check it out by clicking here. The feedback and interaction generated as a result of this video has been encouraging. People continue to contact us via the website requesting Mentoring with their finances. We are moving up the list on Google to become much easier to find and resulting in more hits. I will be doing more "search engine optimization" to increase our visibility as the January reality hits people. Please pray that many hurting people will find us and the help they so desperately need. On a personal note, my family enjoyed Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) which we hosted at our home in October. We had over 45 people attend that event and were also able to reach out to the local community. You can see pictures by clicking here. I am also back to writing more articles for the ministry website as well as continuing to blog for a Christian financial blog, One Money Design. This month, I added an article to our website entitled Waiting, Watching, or Walking - Making the Most of My Single Years. Please be sure to check the article out as well as our many other resources available online. Please pray for the Lord to lay the right areas on my heart as I want to add at least one new article a month to the website. Finally do not forget to follow our blog by clicking here. This is the best way to stay in touch for the "latest breaking news" and what YHVH is continuing to do! Blessings in Messiah, Jocelin Boutet jocelin@standinginyhvhshand.org Jeremiah 29:11-14 |
