We want to say THANK YOU to:

- Domino's Pizza in Hallsville for providing lunch free of charge for our SCSC ladies while they were at the local laundromat.

- Melinda Noe for hosting a delicious Italian lunch at her home for our main campus residents.

We were so blessed today!

𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒
From Amanda Tornberg, GB Program Director

Recently I was working on a lesson about the masks we wear. In an attempt to cover our shame, we wear masks of anger, control, people-pleasing, isolation, perfectionism, relationships, work, humor, busyness, food, money, achievement... the list could go on and on.

No matter the mask, the purpose for it is the same. We want to protect ourselves, avoid our pain, and control what others see. But the reality is that all our attempts only add to our brokenness and shame.

But there’s good news! Now, because of the grace of God in Christ, we no longer have a need for masks.

𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒖𝒔.

There’s no longer a need to convince God and others that we are better than we are. If you struggle accepting His love for you, pray and ask the Lord to reveal it to you today so you can start dropping the masks!

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Audrey Peters is a GB graduate and has served on our staff as Housing Manager since 2023. She has a beautiful singing voice and has helped lead worship at some of our events. Her quick wit and sarcastic comebacks make us laugh, and she truly has a heart of gold. We have witnessed her stay calm in almost any situation that comes her way. She doesn’t back down from hard conversations but communicates with love. The women we serve are better because she has chosen to walk alongside them. She reminds them that they are worthy of love, that their past does not define them, and that God is not finished writing their story. Audrey, we are beyond thankful for you!

In June we held a number board fundraiser in which we were able to raise $5,050 to buy a much needed new office printer for our main campus. We were ecstatic to say the least, but the story doesn’t end there! As we were in the process of looking for the best printer to purchase, someone contacted us wanting to donate a printer, and we received it last week. God is good and faithful beyond our expectations! We are now taking time to pray and determine how best to use the money that was raised for the printer. We want to say a big THANK YOU again to all who gave, THANK YOU to our generous donor, and THANK YOU to the Lord for His abundant provision!

𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒
From Amanda Tornberg, GB Program Director

“If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I. How can I dispossess them?’ you shall not be afraid of them but you shall REMEMBER what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out.” Deuteronomy 7:17-19 (emphasis mine)

I had the opportunity to share my testimony with the women on Wednesday during our morning devo. It provided a great chance to remember the mighty hand and the outstretched arm of the Lord in my life that led me from a place of utter hopelessness to a life filled with joy.

God truly has replaced my “mourning for dancing” (Psalm 30:11). I remember pleading for death and now I get to sing His praises.

When the difficulties come and the fear closes in, He calls us to remember Him.

𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓, 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒅, 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒓, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒆.

Remember today the joy that is yours because our God has chosen to “set his love on you...” (Deut. 7:7).
