Global Daily Oct. 2014
Dear Friends, This fall feels as though it is flying past. Thank you for your prayer and support of us during this past month. There have been some pretty major changes around Power to Change and even our team over this past summer. One of these has been a name change. Our ministry (within the greater body of Power to Change) is now called The Life Project instead of TruthMedia. Our mission has not really...Published 2014-09-22
Global Daily - September 2014
Dear Friends and Family, Thank you very much for remembering our ministry in prayer over this past summer. In the past few months, we have seen God’s hand of blessing on the efforts of our team and our many volunteers. People are hearing about God’s love and coming to know Jesus in a personal way. Our traffic has doubled over the past year. This last July we saw 1596 people tell us that they had...Published 2014-08-21

March 2014 Update
Thank you so much for your prayer and support of us over these past months. I trust you have had a great start to this year. Our year so far with Power to Change has been filled with quite a number of interesting activities so far. As an experiment to help those who like to skim, I have bolded the interesting parts. I'd love to hear your feedback. I travelled back to Indonesia in mid-January...Published 2014-03-12
Post-Indonesia Update
Thank you very much to all who prayed for and supported us on our recent trip to Indonesia. I feel that over-all the trip went really well. For those who didn't know, Sheldon (my supervisor) and I (James) went to Indonesia for a week in January in order to meet and coordinate with two programmers who have joined our team. Marcel and Shierly will be working with us for at least six months in order...Published 2014-02-06
Entry-Level Mentoring
Over the past few months, we have been running a simplified version of our mentoring system which allows new mentors a gentle introduction to the whole concept of online mentoring. The first version was really just a quick proof-of-concept that we built to see if the idea would fly. This simplified interface (we call it Level One) has already shown great promise to be helpful for new mentors by giving them a really easy way...Published 2013-10-17
Latest Updates and a Free App
With the start of the new school year and the end of summer things have begun to pick up around here again. Though it never really gets "slow", things definitely do ramp up in the fall. A New Devotional Series: Our film team has been spending a lot of time this spring and summer working on a story-based discovery series called Treasure: Jesus is Worth Everything. They have been incredibly busy working on this project...Published 2013-09-20
Suicide Thanks
We got a really encouraging email recently from the mom of a suicidal visitor who was connected with one of our mentors. Names have been changed for privacy. This is Martha's mom responding. Thank you so much for your support of Martha. You may have been a part of saving her life. I took her to the hospital about a week ago. She was admitted & is still there. She is safe thank God We...Published 2013-09-19
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
Global Daily - June 2013
Every month I am asked to write a short update on a given topic for one of our supporting churches. I often share these entries here as well for your encouragement and to inform you of what we are doing these days. Topic: What inspires you to keep doing the work you are doing? I am always inspired when I hear the stories of how my work is helping others lead people to Christ. One...Published 2013-06-24
Some Encouraging Stories
Just thought I'd post a few stories we've had which have come into the websites and email boxes recently. Thank you again for your prayers for us and the TruthMedia team as we respond in God's love to these people. A mom returning to work. She had suffered post-partom depression a while back and was nervous about the transition. She just needed just a bit of encouragement. She wrote: Many thanks for your insights and...Published 2013-05-30
May Update
Recently I (James) have had the privilege of working on one of our athletic ministry sites called the Total Athlete Academy. This site is designed to help athletes from around the world get the help, teaching, accountability, and encouragement they need to reach their full potential. Along the way we also introduce them to Jesus as being the only one who can truly fulfil their needs and change their lives. The athletes are matched with...Published 2013-05-09
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
