A Few Encouraging Stories [and a newsletter change]
Today, I received an update from our director, Karen, with some more encouraging stories and thoughts from around the ministry. I thought you might also like to hear them. I have included much of her email verbatim with a few minor formatting changes. Also, you may notice that this email newsletter looks a little different from past ones I have sent. I'm switching to a slightly different way of sending these, but you should still...Published 2013-08-30
Global Daily September
Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers these past few months. Life around TruthMedia has been pretty crazy lately due to some fairly significant reorganizing of how we function as a team. We are continuing to build our mentoring ministry and have formed some pretty amazing partnerships with people who have a similar passion to our own. The partnership with JesusDaily on facebook is one of those and provides a tremendous opportunity...Published 2013-08-28
Another Lost Sheep Found
We recently had a really great story reported by one of the staff, which started as an email from a visitor to one of our sites. THE VISITOR WROTE: I'm at the lowest point in my life. I feel lonely, unloved, and misunderstood. I am feeling worthless and confused... I pray that God helps me get through this... A mentor spoke her telling her how sorry she felt that way but that God felt just...Published 2013-08-23
100,000 Teen Messages
This last week we hit a major milestone: the 100,000th teen message! The 100,000th message came from a girl we’ll call Beth. Her life is forever changed. The conversation started with a simple question: Is there a solid way to stop cutting and get past it as a way of coping? As Beth and her mentor wrote back and forth a dark story emerged. Beth had experienced every type of abuse and was living in...Published 2013-04-15
Global Daily Sept 2012
Every month Central Heights Church asks the missionaries they support to submit an entry for the "Global Daily" monthly prayer newsletter. For September, the topic is "How has God blessed you in the past year?" I have to say, we have felt incredibly blessed by the Lord over this past year. We have been blessed with a great place to live and with great neighbours. We have a lady who lives right next to us...Published 2012-08-22
Global Daily for March 2012
Each month, I (James) write a short article in response to a specific question or two for our church. I usually also post these here to give you a sense of what's going on in the ministry. The following is the entry for this month. Question: How will you celebrate Easter and how do you share the message of Easter with the people where you are? Answer: We are very blessed to have both of...Published 2012-03-28
Mentoring Makes a Difference!
If you don't think that the websites or mentoring really makes a difference, here is a story from someone who's life was transformed... First of all thank you for that wonderful message. I think this is an awesome ministry. It was a life saver for me, and now I hope I can help it be for others. When I came to this site over a year ago, it helped change my life forever. I felt...Published 2011-11-27
Recent Updates
Thank you so much for your ongoing prayer and support of us. This Christmas is going to be a bit different for us as James' dad (Loren) will have just recently had heart surgery and we're not sure yet what changes that will bring. Please pray for a quick recovery for him and for peace for the rest of us. Please pray also for TruthMedia as this can be a very busy time of year...Published 2011-11-23
November 2011 Updates
Dear Friends and Supporters, Thank you very much for your ongoing prayer and support of us here at Power to Change. It's been a busy few months but we have been seeing almost constant growth of both the number of people coming to the sites, as well as the number of people being brought into the kingdom of God. I was privileged to speak in our church recently about our need for more volunteers to...Published 2011-11-04
A Reminder of God's Faithfulness
I received this story recently from our director and thought you would find it encouraging. -------------- This week we got a comment on the site from someone I’ll call Bill. Bill was very upset. His fiancé had cheated on him, stole from him and called off the wedding. Bill was angry that everything he loved had fallen apart. He felt that he had been a good Christian, served God faithfully and God had not held...Published 2011-11-04
A mentor is used by God to stop a destructive affair
The following is a really encouraging email that Karen (the director of TruthMedia) recently sent out. I thought you might find it encouraging and inspiring: This past week, a staff member at Power to Change received a very troubling and difficult email from a married woman who was about to leave her husband for another man. This man is a pastor and he was also planning on leaving his wife to engage in this relationship....Published 2011-08-26

Sharing Prayer
It has been an exciting few months here in TruthMedia. Now that the majority of our work has been finished on the Power to Change supersite, we have had the opportunity to branch out into a few other projects that were waiting on the back-burners. One of these, was to try and build a facebook app that would let people send in prayer requests. Power to Change and TruthMedia’s new “Need Prayer?” Facebook app helps...Published 2011-03-11
Suicide and Mentoring
The following exchange took place a few days ago on one of our articles related to suicide. I am posting it here because I thought it was a really meaningful example of our ministry in action combined with the positive influence of mentoring on the site. If you like, you can read the full article with comments here. Vandana Mittal: hi.. I love a guy who says he we cant be together because of commitments...Published 2010-08-04
