Bad News For CHM, But God Will Provide

Bad News for Comforting Hearts Ministries!For the last year Gateway Pregnancy centers graciously allowed us to use their color copier for free and we were able to produce some beautiful Heart Warmers. Unfortunately with the current economic climate they can no longer afford us. So now we must pay to have our news letters printed. That's why we came up with the 20/20 project. We need 20 people to pledge $20.00 per month to pay for the printing. We currently have 18 volunteers. Will you help us? It is our prayer that we will be able to keep producing this valuable resource. Would you help save the Heart Warmer? We now accept Mastercard, Visa and Discover Card for your convience!

God Always Provides!

Welcome to another Corner Blog! This month I want to tell you about an experience we had here at Comforting Hearts Ministries.
We are going through a rough financial time right now and our Non-Profit permit for our mailing is about to expire.
On February 5 of this year we have to pay the Post Office $180.00 for 2009. Just to have the blessing of saving on postage. And believe me it is a considerable savings in comparison with $.42 stamps.
Well, we sent out an urgent e-mail explaining the situation an asking our friends and clients for help in raising the money.
Let me tell you I was nervous. Every time I went to my e-mail I heard the sound of crickets! No one was responding.
Well, yesterday we received 3 pledges totaling over what we needed for the Post office.
I had been discouraged for days because I was relying on people to supply our needs. I should have been relying on God who has never let us down.
Another example of how God provides is that last year we budgeted $5,000 for the year but it cost us over $8,000. And God provided every penny. This year we are trusting God for $10,000 for our budget. That’s what you call a faith budget! Because we have no regular source of income. No church supports us. Please pray for us this year that God will provide not only funds but guidance.
