Dear Friends and Ministry Partners,

The Summer months have provided us many opportunities to impact dads and their families for God’s Kingdom, but the Summer also brings a need for increased financial support. We continue to reach out to the lost and the hurting and the rewards are eternal.

The past two months we have been busy, but we have seen God work in awesome ways. We conducted four Great Dads Seminars, one Evening Worship Service and an Evangelistic Outreach and witnessed one hundred twenty-one individuals pray to receive Christ. Through the four seminars we witnessed three hundred eighty-nine children’s lives blessed. Through the Life Skills Class we are seeing additional individuals surrender their lives to Christ.

Here’s a praise report I want to share with you:

After completing Holistic Hardware about 18 months ago, Frederici was released and is back with his family. He has since been ordained as a minister of the gospel and is now in full time ministry serving in a church in northern Greenville County. This is just one of the many success stories we’ve seen over the past few years, proving the investment of time and financial resources is paying off as hearts are turned to Christ. We praise God and give Him all the glory.

Also, we have started a new program Malachi Dads and Returning Hearts. The dads sign up for twenty-four week discipling classes and at the end of the first twelve weeks they participate in a Returning Hearts Celebration on Saturday with their children.

We have three facilities signed up for the program, with one six weeks into the program. We are also working with Leath Correctional about a program for moms called Hanna’s Gift which is designed the same as Malachi Dads. Pray for these two programs, as this gives us a great opportunity to reach their children for Christ through Awana Clubs in local churches.

Won’t you please prayerfully consider making a donation to Blue Ridge Ministries today to help change the lives of others like Frederici? Check our website atwww.blueridgeministries.org for ways to give and for a schedule of upcoming events.

I want to thank each of you for your prayers and financial support as we reach out to the lost and hurting in a fallen world and share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Thanks to our Board Members for their faithful service and support.

In His Service,

Jim Williams

So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth;

It shall not return to Me empty,

Without accomplishing what I desire,

And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. NAS

Isa.55:11
