Widow Strong: 2020 Mission Impact, Worst & BEST Year

Posted December 31, 2020

Stronger Together

Dear Friends,
As Charles Dickens wrote in a Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” The challenges of 2020 were of Biblical proportions creating one of the worst years recorded, AND the way our tribe of supporters and widows rose to the challenge astonishingly created the BEST Mission Impact Year-to-Date for Widow Strong. Your partnership ushered God’s loving power into our lives that reminded me of Acts 4:32-33.

“Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.” (emphasis mine)

By giving together, we made a powerful difference of HOPE in the lives of widows and their children during at time when some widowed moms were losing jobs, finances, food, and housing. I am filled with gratitude. Thank you!

We are just $6,550 from our End-of-Year Goal. Will you help us?

Thank you again for your generosity and kindness to our widowed community! God promises to bless us then we bless the widow and fatherless child.

What a great way to sow blessing at the start 2021!

If you are harvesting in your field and forget a sheaf there, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.” Deuteronomy 24:19.

May God bless the work of your hands in 2021 as together we bless the widow and her children! Thank you!

Stronger Together,
