We are asking you to invest at least $10 monthly in HCM beginning this month - July 2009.
What is that about? Why now? It is simply about sustaining HeartConnexion Ministries. We believe you want others to have the opportunity you had in experiencing BT, PVL, YKT, counseling, coaching and the other resources. You are our family so we are asking with our hearts for your participation with us.
“Dr. Paul and Susanna, how is HCM doing?” you may be asking.
We’re seeing entire families be transformed, experiencing grace in ways never imagined possible. Marriages continue to be healed. People are living their purpose and creating a fulfilling life. We have more calls from people asking about BT; but, unfortunately many struggle financially and the cost seems overwhelming.
“What do you need to sustain HCM?
Long Range: We need you to continue encouraging those you care about to attend BreakThrough. This is the key for the long run.
Right Now: We need consistent investment from our alumni if we are going to keep HCM alive. We cannot pay our ministry expenses without immediate income and regular monthly contributions.
After the Spring Fling in April, several TAs were talking with Susanna and one offered, “What if we asked everyone in the BT community to contribute $10 each month? Everyone could do that; it’s only $2.50 a week. What would that do to help?”
They quickly computed, 900 (alumni on the HCM newsletter email list) x $10 = $9,000 each month. Would that help? Absolutely! Those ladies said, “We need to let our family know that $10 every month isn’t too little.” So, we began asking!
Later, some of the office staff and a couple HCM board members were brainstorming; one said that an automatic monthly debit from their checking account might be preferable rather than remembering to write/mail a check; perhaps, $10 on the 10th of the month. Then another suggested $20 on the 20th or $30 on the 30th … and those who choose to contribute $50 or $100 or more tell us which day of the month to process it!
“How do I make a monthly contribution?” Whatever way is best for you is fine with us.
* Mail a check to HCM, PO Box 3179, Olathe, KS 66063
* Set up an automatic payment through your bank online bill pay account.
* Call the HCM office at 913-829-8810 to set up a debit/credit card deduction.
* Use the PayPal option on the HCM website.
* Any way that is best for you, just tell us.
What is HCM doing to reduce expenses?
We have reduced staff, relocated the office into a much smaller space with Lifeline Counseling, and eliminated optional expenses finding ways to make-do. We are considering a virtual office concept without rented space as an opportunity to think outside-the-box about ways we can do more with less.
What else can we do to help?
Call your group members and ask them to join you in making a monthly commitment.
Make HCM the designated organization to receive your United Way contribution (and ask co-workers to do the same).
Those who consider HCM as their primary spiritual community may practice the spiritual discipline of tithing a percentage of their income each month.
Encourage someone you know and love to attend BT.
Pray for our discernment about what Father wants to do through HCM.
It all helps.
Would you help us keep HeartConnexion alive? Our hearts desire is to continue changing our world one-heart-at-a-time with grace beyond shame.
Can we count you in?
Dr. Paul and Susanna
