Happy May! Our theme this month at Catalyst Ministries is Planting. 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 says: I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. We know this, too, that God is the one who makes things grow and brings fruit from our efforts. What a JOY to work together as a team, with various gifts and talents, and alongside God, who leads us and brings the growth!
This month, we’re excited to share that the recent Texas Golf Tournament was a great success! Amy Dwyer and her great team of hard-working volunteers organized an excellent event and fundraiser, for the third year, in support of Catalyst Ministries! Thank you!! A special thanks, too, to those who participated and helped sponsor this special day!
This month, we say goodbye to Beth Tomko as she transitions out of her role. Thank you, Beth, for your diligence and all your great service with Catalyst over the years! We are so thankful for you!
And a very special welcome to Martha Diffee as she steps into a new role as Area Director! We look forward to serving with you, Martha!
Here’s a quick update regarding our Illinois location. As has been shared before, we believe the Lord is leading us in centralizing our operations to Dallas, Texas. For clarity on what will stay the same with Catalyst and what will change, with this restructuring, we are in the process of selling our two properties in Bloomington-Normal, to include the restorative home we have maintained. This means our residential program will be operated in our Dallas, Texas location.
We continue to highly value this work and the important history we have in Bloomington- Normal, Illinois. We also deeply value all those who have prayed, given, and served with us. Our hope and prayer is that strong prayer and financial support will continue, as we still have important work to do, and we invite your ongoing involvement.
Here are just a few ways that YOU can all be involved in an ongoing way with the important work of Catalyst Ministries:
- Pray with and for us, and our ongoing work throughout the US and beyond.
-
Give.
Continue to help Fund Freedom for the vulnerable, at-risk women that we serve.
- Consider serving with us at our Dallas location for a “Vacation With a Purpose”.
- Get in touch with us if you’d like to help with a Work Day with your group, friends, or family.
-
Plan a Gift Card shower in your home, or plan a Fundraiser to help raise awareness and funds for the work and mission of Catalyst Ministries.
We’re thinking of all the mothers today and wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you for your support and also all the important ways you plant great things in your children’s lives!
