Preparing for rain! We’re not sure exactly when yet, but the time of preparation is now. Perhaps we will go this year or next year. The when is not as important as the what. We’ve trained the team leaders and we are thrilled to have the privilege of training the indigenous team that God is raising up to reach the Highlands of Scotland with the Gospel through a Dinner Church Movement.

Pray with us!

At Binding Hearts Family & Community Ministries, we remain committed to walking with families through every season—especially the difficult ones. In recent weeks, our ministry has been especially focused on caring for family members facing significant health struggles.

While we cannot help everyone in need and as we age, we cannot do what we once could, it is still our privilege to do what we can.

Difficult times have touched our own team as well. Our Operations Manager and Vice President has been spending time with her extended family during ongoing medical treatment, reminding us once again how deeply these moments affect all of us. As we support them, we continue to support many others in our community who are navigating other challenges.

Whether it’s a community dinner, a prayer shared, a compassionate visit, or practical help during long medical journeys, we are honored to stand beside those who are hurting. This is the heart of our mission: to strengthen families by surrounding them with care, hope, and community.

Your faithful support makes this possible.
Thank you for helping us continue to bind hearts together when it matters most. ❤️

In the last few days, our team was forced to make the largest pivot we have ever faced. On Wednesday, I received a call from the village hall, owners of our community dinner venue, stating that the building has been closed for public use immediately and indefinitely. Out team began praying and I messaged a newer banquet venue in the community.

Tonight was our first dinner in the new location. It is a much smaller building with turn of the century charm. It went well with just a small learning curve.

We were down in attendance considerably due to the abrupt change in location in spite of our intense efforts to get the word out.

However, I noticed that the conversations around the tables had a little more depth as the environment was considerably more cozy, complete with an electric fireplace and candles.

God is faithful to his mission. Thank you Salute Banquet Hall LLC for your generosity.

✨ Community Impact Update — Thank You, Binding Hearts Family! ✨

This week, we had the privilege of blessing a single mother and her two children in a special way. Thanks to the generosity of our Binding Hearts donors, we were able to purchase the platform materials and two brand-new mattresses to complete a donated bunk bed set.

But the story didn’t end there…

Yesterday one of our Compassion Response Team members delivered the beds to the family’s home. The kids now have a safe, comfortable place to sleep. 🛏️💛

THIS is what happens when compassion becomes action.
THIS is what community looks like.
And THIS is the heart of Binding Hearts — resourcing families, restoring dignity, and responding with love.

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and partner who makes moments like this possible. You are changing lives one family at a time. ❤️
