See What We've Been Up To!







SEE WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO!
Greetings and Happy New Year!
In lieu of our regularly scheduled blog post today, we wanted to send along a quick update and letter from our founder. Thank you for being a part of C4C!
DID YOU KNOW?
The final AWAKEN 1-Day Conference was held on November 8 and was a smashing success thanks to our sponsors, speakers and leaders, and attendees. 

Although God has closed the door on this conference, we are excited as we look forward to what He has for C4C in the future!
 
 

A Letter from Our Founder
Dear Friends, 
I can't believe 2014 has drawn to a close already! It's so hard to believe that 2015, the year Marty McFly promised we'd have hoverboards, self-drying jackets, and flying cars has already arrived!
As you know, I've served with Church 4 Chicks, inc - a 501(c)3 ministry that IS making an eternal difference in our generation and is becoming a trusted resource for people all over the USA and beyond -since 2007. As we enter into this brand new year of ministry, we are grateful for the Stones of Remembrance of God's faithfulness to us in the past, but also realize that our windshields are larger than our rearview mirrors for good reason.
As we look back briefly, we look forward expectantly:
As a ministry, we have literally heard from women who were contemplating suicide and chose to check out what C4C might offer them. They are with us today and doing well because they found hope in Jesus Christ through C4C's ministry. Just this past year, we heard from a young woman who turned from the Occult to follow Jesus as a result of attending a C4C event and praying with some of our leaders on a regular basis. We have helped women in need with tangible offerings, supported other non-profits through outreach projects, and so much more. I could go on and on, but the reality is that GOD is choosing to use this ministry to impact women everywhere.
My dad used to have a plaque in his office that said what I feel most of the time:
"We have done so much with so little for so long that we now feel we could do almost anything with nothing at all in no time flat!" 
Little by little, the ministry's name and message is reaching beyond the Atlanta and even Georgia borders into the US and around the world as we hear from people who find our videos online or read our blog and engage with us through social media. 
With Stephen and me moving to St. Simons Island just this fall, the team has amazed me in how each member is stepping up to a higher level of commitment and service. 
The future is bright and we want to be ready for it! 
You've been an instrumental part of this ministry in the past. You've helped us help others, and I am personally forever grateful. I want you to know your investments matter and they continue to make a difference! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a kingdom-minded, grace-giving, generous friend. I want you to know that your influence continues to bless and encourage me to keep on keepin' on with an eternal perspective in the midst of challenging times.

As we move ahead, our desire is to get into position to come alongside of more people who want to reach women in this generation with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We want to come alongside of more wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, teens, and daughters than ever before. 

With your help, we can do this. 

If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help this ministry be in a good position financially as we enter into 2015, please make checks payable to: Church 4 Chicks PO Box 1447 Woodstock, GA 30188
(Please be sure to let us know if your gift is a one-time donation or if you will become a monthly supporter throughout 2015. Thank you!)

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to read this and to prayerfully consider how you might invest through C4C into the lives of women (who touch lives themselves so profoundly) as you give and pray. 

Because He First Loved me,

Shelley
