Dear Supporters
by Merle Jenkins (from the November/December 2006 issue)
Dear Supporters,
In this last issue for 2006, I want to express, on behalf of Judith & Francis and the staff, this ministry’s sincere appreciation and heartfelt "thanks" to all of our supporters—this year and past—for all you’ve done for us, from financial to volunteering to attending conferences, schools, etc. We recognize that your gifts—time, talents and financial—are critical to this ministry’s on–going efforts of spreading the Good News of praying for others and their healing!
I want to share a few statistics relative to where your support has been used, besides for salaries, facilities’ support and upkeep. For the year 2005 (latest available) there were 19 teaching/prayer & healing conferences plus 5 Schools of Healing Prayer, attended by over 1,428. Over 12,000 were served through our daily and weekly prayer times, including telephone prayer requests. The above data does not include the "other" sponsored teachings/conferences at which Judith & Francis were guest speakers!
Our newsletter—The Healing Line—is published 6 times per year, averaging 16,900 mailouts per issue, and in full color. This is really unique, considering prior to 2002, we published the newsletter 4 times per year, printed in primarily black only using one other color for special "highlighting" with an average of 7-8 thousand mailouts per issue.
We continue to try to be good stewards of gifts received by this ministry, being sure to make wise use of every contribution to its mission: "To bring the healing message of the Gospel: that Jesus came to heal His people."
Blessings to all not — only during this season of the year, but all year round,
Merle Jenkins
Director of Administration
and Finance
