WE ENDED 2024 BRINGING IN ONLY 5,600 OF OUR 30,000 GOAL FOR OUR END-OF- YEAR CAMPAIGN. WE BEGAN 2025 ASKING SOME VERY HARD QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER TO CONTINUE OR TO SHUT DOWN BREATHE LIFE. THE LORD CONTINUED TO PROVIDE AT JUST THE RIGHT TIMES TO KEEP GOING ALL YEAR LONG (WE MISSED ONE PAYCHECK IN NOVEMBER, BUT WE GOT IT BACK IN DECEMBER) WE HAVE DEVELOPED A DEEPENING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TEXAS DISTRICT THAT WE ANTICIPATE GROWING IN 2026. OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TEXAS DISTRICT OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH-MISSOURI SYNOD CONTINUES TO PROVIDE CLIENTS AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH GROUPS. STEVE CONTINUES TO PASTOR TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH IN ROSENBERG, TX FOR 30 HOURS PER WEEK. OUR 2025 END-OF-YEAR CAMPAIGN BROUGHT IN 8,900 OF THE 17,000 GOAL. IN 2025 WE INTERACTED WITH: -25 DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS -5 DIFFERENT COUPLES -28 GROUPS/GATHERINGS WE CONDUCTED OVER 30 SESSIONS IN 2025 (9 INDIVIDUALS AND 2 COUPLES): -EVERY SESSION WE DID WAS DONE AT A REDUCED COST OR FOR FREE TO THE CLIENT 2025 WAS A YEAR OF SHIFTING FOR US FROM WORKING MORE WITH INDIVIDUALS, TO BEING PRESENT AT DISTRICT EVENTS AND MAKING CONNECTIONS THERE, AS WELL AS FORMING BONDS WITH PEOPLE WITHIN THE TEXAS DISTRICT WHO CARE ABOUT CHURCH WORKER WELLBEING AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION. IN 2026 WE ANTICIPATE OPERATING A SMALLER BUDGET (REDUCED FROM 54,000 TO 35,000) WHILE TAKING A MUCH NEEDED SABBATICAL FROM FEBRUARY THROUGH DECEMBER, WHILE ALSO WORKING WITH THE TEXAS DISTRICT ALL YEAR TO BE INTENTIONAL AND PROACTIVE ABOUT WORKER WELLBEING AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION, FINISHING SCHOOL FOR JAMIE, AND GIVING ATTENTION TO REFRESHING US LIKE WE DO FOR OTHERS SO THAT WE CAN COME BACK READY TO PICK UP THE MINISTRY IN 2027.
