Friends of destiny: Life!

We have Good News!

The response to our year-end appeal for help with a looming fiscal shortfall has been received with great generosity!  We've finished 2011 with all needs met!!

Your generous gifts and tireless prayer have proven invaluable.  We are most grateful!

As if these accomplishments weren't enough we - Jim & Shirley - must share some personal news with you.  A kind, generous Friend of our Family gifted us with airfare to England and Maine so we could spend time over the Christmas Season visiting our Kids in those far-away places.  If you're interested we've posted news and pics of our time in both places as well as an update on the life of our San Diego Kids ... Check them out at ...

A special New Year wish for you our Friends is also presented on the "jimandshirley67" site ...

Pastor Jim preached in San Diego on the New Year's 1st  Weekend.  His Message will soon be available on the LifesInspiration page ... 

Our first Week of 2012 has been filled with virtually non-stop correspondence; counseling; and Pastoral Care for people who've lost Friends and Family members ... One Family lost their Adult Daughter in a tragic auto accident.  We were able to spend time with her Parents last Weekend and Jim conducted the Memorial Service for their Daughter on Jan. 9.  Over 1000 people attended the Service.  This woman was a Christ-follower and her Family asked that people be told the truth not only regarding their grief but their "faith."

We are grateful to Our lord for these opportunities and pray for many more such occasions when we can do the work of this Venture in ways that bring "more and better life than we've ever dreamed of" to people who desperately long for it.  Your prayers for this are invaluable and we're counting on them!

THANK YOU! for partnering with us in this Venture!
