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
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
Great Recent Stories
God has been doing some amazing things in our ministry recently. I have posted a number of them on our facebook page, but I thought I would share a few of them with you here as well. One of the places where we connect with people on a more personal level is in our chat rooms. One of the chatters recently said that "if it wasn't for the people in the room that she would...Published 2012-11-29
New Believer in Pakistan
One of the reasons that I love working in this ministry is that we are able to reach out to people around the world, even in some of the most closed countries. One of the ways that we connect with people quite directly is through our chat rooms and regularly scheduled topical chats. While I am not directly involved with the chats, it is my job to make sure those chat rooms continue to function...Published 2012-10-22
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

August 2011 Newsletter
Dear Family and Friends, Thank you all very much for your ongoing prayer and support of us over these past few months. It's hard to believe we're already a good way through summer. (probably because we've had so little sunshine) :) I wanted to say an especially big thank you to all of you who have responded recently to our fund raising requests by joining our team, increasing your giving and giving additional special gifts. ...Published 2011-08-02
Raising $1000 per Month by June
Many of you may have heard about our recent push to raise $1000 by June, but for those of you who haven't, I thought I'd post an update on what this is all about. We have been asked by Power to Change to raise an additional $1000 in monthly support by June 2011. This is not because we're suddenly going to be paid more, but rather due to cut-backs in P2C's covering of our existing...Published 2011-01-26
Prayer Requests
Please pray for the hurting people who we interact with on the sites. This last Monday our director shared how she had the opportunity to literally save a young man's life through the website over the weekend. The person was intending to drown himself in a lake, but searched the Internet one last time for the phrase “what happens when you commit suicide”. Our site came up as the first result in his search and...Published 2010-11-24
