November Update with Julie Ryan

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV) Our theme this month at Catalyst Ministries is GRATITUDE! Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude as we reflect on all the Lord has done in the past year! We’re so  grateful for:  Our Amazing Catalyst team-near and far!  The beautiful Fundraiser Dinner we hosted in October, and the many who attended and supported Faithful volunteers, who are unsung heroes, work behind the scenes to help accomplish the Mission and Work of Catalyst. Donors, who give generously each month and throughout the year, help to fund freedom for the women we serve Local churches, who stand with us in prayer, service, and giving Our Board of Directors and their servant hearts and faith New chickens in our Texas safehouse chicken coop A beautiful new Sanctuary Garden at Catalyst Ranch Many wonderful and helpful Work Days in 2025 by local churches and volunteers Our Property Team, who mows the lawn, makes repairs, and blesses us with their sacrificial serving All those who diligently pray for Catalyst Ministries And so much more! A quick story here, from our October Fundraiser: She wore a long, golden-yellow dress that was perfectly suited to her sunny personality. As I introduced her and shared some of the many accomplishments she’d seen while in the program at Catalyst Ministries, our beloved graduate and speaker for the night approached the podium. The whole room was on its feet, honoring her with a standing ovation, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. She shared some of the many challenges she’d encountered in her life, and how God had worked and used so many to help her during her time under our roof and in the Restorative Program at Catalyst. We rejoice at all of God’s faithful transformations in her life and are very excited about all he has ahead of her as she reaches towards her amazing potential!  Giving Thanks!  Julie As we look ahead to the coming months, we ask for your prayers and continued support. We rely on you and see you as “teammates” in this fight against the evils of human trafficking.
