Subject: Ministry News: Stories of Transformation from Camp and Beyond!

As we approach the end of a remarkable year, we want to pause and offer Praise for the incredible work God accomplished this year! The ministry's mission is rooted in seeing lives changed, and this summer, we witnessed unforgettable transformations at our Special Touch Summer Get Aways.


Take one guest at our Wisconsin camp, for instance, who came burdened by past experiences, yet left with a profound spiritual breakthrough. In the pre-service prayer room, amidst powerful worship and deep connection, this guest shared a life-changing sentiment: "I don't feel broken anymore."


This testimony of healing was just one of the phenomenal spiritual fruits we celebrated—alongside numerous first-time salvations, recommitments, and baptisms across the country. These moments are only possible because you partner with us.


Your consistent prayers and support are the foundation that ensures our programs never pause and our capacity to serve remains strong. Thank you.

🙏 Community Updates & Praise Across Our Ministry

We are also praising God for the great work made possible across our programs:


Praise: Family Support. Rev. Joe & Ann Trementozzi launched Family of Hope, providing faith-based support and advocacy for struggling family members balancing work and caregiving for loved ones with disabilities.


Praise: Inclusive Strategy. Rev. Tracie & Duane Corll started an online Parent Support Group and a Neurodivergent Bible Study, and developed critical church resources that help affirm all people as indispensable members of the church body.


Praise: Accessible Resources. Made possible by support from generous donors, Blind Services (Rev. Nettamara Doak) leveraged technology to produce resources in braille for a missionary in Kenya and launched a new Children's Kit, introducing blind children to a God who created them with purpose.


Praise: Local Impact. Our Local Chapters provided hands-on support in their communities, distributing Bibles, meeting essential needs (like holiday meals, socks for a men’s shelter, and Easter baskets), and offering joyful, regular fellowship to reinforce that everyone has a role in God’s purpose.
