There is something we struggle with at Binding Hearts. How do we tell you what we’re doing without making it sound like we’re bragging? We wrestle with that more than you might realize. We don’t want to say, “Look at all the great things we’re doing!” Because the truth is, we’re not the point. The family who needs help is the point. The person who needs a meal is the point. The lonely neighbor who needs community is the point. The church that needs to rediscover its mission is the point.
Our purpose is simple: serve people where they are hurting—and bring others together to serve alongside us.
But we’ve learned something. If we don’t tell you what is happening, some of you understandably wonder if anything is happening. You wonder what you’re praying for. You wonder where the needs are. You wonder what your financial support is accomplishing. And if we communicate too much, we worry that it looks like we’re patting ourselves on the back.
So we’re learning to walk that line.
When we share a need, we’re not saying, “Give to Binding Hearts.” We’re saying, “Here’s a person or family who needs someone to care.” When we share something that happened, we’re not saying, “Look what we accomplished.” We’re saying, “Look what happens when ordinary people decide to care.” And when we tell you about a financial or physical need, we’re not trying to pressure anyone. We’re simply opening the door for someone to say, “I can help with that.”
That’s what we mean by Binding Hearts. It’s not about building the name of a ministry. It’s about binding hearts together around people who need to know they aren’t alone.
So we’ll keep sharing. Not because we want applause. Not because we think everything we do is wonderful. But because you are our partners.
Some of you pray. Some give. Some volunteer. Some cook. Some deliver. Some open doors. Some simply share a post with someone who can help. And some of you quietly encourage us when you see us tired and remind us that what we’re doing matters. All of that is ministry.
We can’t do this alone. And honestly, we don’t want to. We want to see a community of people discover that they have something to give—and that together, we can make a difference in someone’s life.
So when you see us post about what is happening at Binding Hearts, please know our heart. We’re not trying to tell you how good we are. We’re trying to invite you into something good.
That is why we will continue to Resource Families. Restore Community. Re-Mobilize a Missional Movement. And Re-Mission the Church.
Those aren’t just words to us. They describe the work we believe we’ve been called to do: coming alongside families in practical ways, helping people find meaningful community, awakening God’s people to join Him in His mission, and helping the Church rediscover that its mission doesn’t stop at the church doors.
And here’s our invitation to you: Don’t just follow what we’re doing—join us. Pray for us. Share what we’re sharing. Volunteer when you can. Give when you’re able. Tell us about a family or individual who needs help. Invite someone to dinner. Open a door in your church, business, neighborhood, or organization. Or simply reach out and say, “How can I help?”
You don’t have to do everything. You just have to do something. And sometimes the smallest act of kindness becomes the very thing that changes someone’s day—or someone’s life.
We’re simply trying to be faithful with whatever God puts in our hands—and we’re grateful that so many of you have chosen to put your hands alongside ours.
Thank you for praying. Thank you for giving. Thank you for serving. Thank you for believing in the work. And thank you for helping us bind hearts together. ❤️
