Hello Friends!
January 2013 is an incredibly exciting place to arrive; the celebration of our 10th year of
ministry begins! Our Board and global staff are so thankful for you. Your
faithful involvement, prayers and financial support of our ministry has allowed
Sweet Sleep to touch the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world.
Thank you.
January is often a time of reflection. We pause to rejoice,
however we also pause to remember Haiti. Three years have now passed since the
devastating earthquake---lives lost, buildings reduced to rubble. Through the
destruction and loss, we are mindful of how God takes events like these and
makes His name known: countless orphans and hurting have been reached with the
gospel and the gift of a bed at a time of chaos, hurt and loss has brought
physical and spiritual rest.
Looking through the calendar pages, I see such incredible
ministry needs, opportunities and plans. Look for more on our “13 in 13” movement
next month. In May I’m excited to announce Sweet Sleep will be hosting our
anniversary celebration on May 9th, so save the date! Also, in the
coming months, Sweet Sleep will be announcing new global ministry opportunities.
Make sure you “like” us on Facebook or “follow” us on Twitter or are subscribed
to our blog so that you can stay current on all the important things you’ll
want to know and pray about.
Through all of the things ahead in 2013, isn’t it freeing to
know that God is at the forefront of our lives and certainly, Sweet Sleep, as
He guides us to the children He wants to reach through Sweet Sleep. Thank you for making the plans, ideas, and
dreams into something tangible through your gifts. I am grateful for each of you!
Sweetly,
Jen
