Dear Friends,

2020 has certainly been a difficult season for many. I am so very mindful of hurting hearts these days. Just the past few days, I have been fielding SOS messages from women in traumatic seasons. I have walked through our new ministry building feeling almost like I am dreaming at times. We have been in full operation since July. While 2020 has been full of loss in so many ways around the world, there have also been many glimpses of God at work.

I remember one of the first nights I sat in my office during healing meetings and heard the cries of a broken lamb in another room. My fingers stopped at my keyboard as I began to pray as tears swelled in my own eyes. While our walls have heard the cries of many it has also heard laughter as well. I smile often as I hear a room erupt in laughter knowing tears are intermingled in that same breath. Somehow, Jesus is able to bring laughter even in the midst of deep pain. Healing is in the air.

The support groups in our Where the Heart Heals groups are going so well. Slowly, but surely, we see Christ peeling back layers of pain to offer His sweet healing balm to His daughters. Freedom is around every corner here and I’ve come to be so fond of what I see God doing in bleeding hearts. He really is near the brokenhearted.

Our Dream Big group is so lovely. We have lots of belly laughs as we sift through what all Christ is placing in His girls to accomplish. Dreaming with Jesus can be hard and exciting all at the same time. We have seen hidden gifts come to light while also uncovering some Satan stole from past seasons. Watching the women move in courage with their God assignments is a beautiful thing. God is shifting many into new seasons with new adventures.

We have come to know many beautiful daughters around the world through our Royalty4Real Radio for Women and our global magazine, Diamonds & Dandelions. We have been amazed at what gifts Christ has placed in these women and continue to share them 24/7 on the station and ongoing in our online magazine. If you haven’t taken a listen to the station or taken in the amazing writings in the magazine, you’re really missing out. Most of these voices you won’t find on mainstream radio or in large publishing houses. They are women serving Christ day in, and day out heralding sermons through song, encouragement through melodies, and conviction through lyrics. They wield the Word of God through pen and ink and leave you longing for more of Jesus. They are each amazing and speak to the lovely uniqueness in the body of Christ, today. We have enjoyed music artists and women writers from the USA, Australia, South Africa, Denmark, Bahamas, and more. It’s such a beautiful thing to watch God move across the nations!

We are preparing our next print issue of Drama Queen Magazine®. The Lord has kept us in print and we will also be making portions of it available online as well this time around. We just delivered a batch of magazines to Refuge of Light for dispersal to their girls in the safe home and others they are connected with, as well as New Creation Foundation here in Troup for the women in their program (and their daughters). I have spent much time in prayer just today asking the Lord to place these magazines in the hands of those who can benefit. We view this magazine as a modern tool and we use it as such. I’ll be delivering 75 to the Pastor at our local Methodist Church. They are excited to pass out the girl’s magazine through the local food pantry. They see many families each week so this will be a great opportunity to feed the soul while also meeting physical needs.

On the music side of things, there are two songs in production. I suspect vocals will be recorded after the holidays. One of the songs is worship that hopefully ushers in the fire of God while the other speaks to the need to keep walking with Christ in the midst of trying seasons. Both, I am excited about sharing with hearts in need. Music has a way of releasing the heart of God uniquely. I still find it my most treasured place with Him.

I want to thank you each for following this journey with us. Our team cannot thank you enough for your support. God has fully provided for us in this building and He has used many of you. Without you, counseling, support, and all of our media publishing outreaches would not be possible. It is a wonderful thing to be able to offer free resources to those in need without them bearing a financial burden that may be so very difficult when they are already struggling.

By request, we have actually set up our donation system for reoccurring monthly donations. It has been a blessing to us already by making things easier for those desiring to sow into the ministry. Would you pray about becoming a partner as this year closes? Your support would allow us to print more resources for Kingdom advancement as we place them in areas of need. My prayer this week is that the Lord would double our reach in 2021. While many events and gatherings have been canceled, we are blessed to still be able to reach hearts through radio, daily devotionals, and publications.

For those continuing to pray for us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel the weight of the battle, very often, but He is seeing us through. We will continue to fulfill His ministry.

Merry Christ-mas!
