Greetings Fruitful Life Family, Friends and Followers:
As you know, we came through a very trying and difficult season from 2019-2021. We learned a lot about our limitations and unrealistic expectations. Since that time we have made many changes and part of that has meant emphasizing the original call that God gave us for the ministry of Fruitful Life.
Fruitful Life is a community and ministry of “presence" for people who are just like us; who are facing battles and struggles in mental, emotional, physical, financial, occupational, or relationship challenges; or simply working through life's many setbacks and sidetracks. We are all turning to God and coming alongside others who will listen, offer support, and pray with us through the journey.
During the month of June we began our new Midweek Schedule. We also updated and reproduced one of our books from 2015 and republished it under a new title. We continued to post new Fruitful Living podcast entries. We completed and added two new courses in the STEP Forward Life Institute. And at our attendee's request, we began working on lesson outlines and notes for the monthly LIVE STEP Forward Life Institute sessions.
This month we received a powerful testimonial from Hosea and Amethyst Roberson, which they shared in our last Spiritual Wellness Support group session.
We also received the wonderful news that AJ and Shavaun Jackson (aka Givers of Hope) who are domestic missionaries serving in the Nashville, TN area, had a car donated to them. Please join them in giving praise to God for this awesome breakthrough in their pioneering journey in that community.
Special note* We will be unavailable for a great deal of the month of July. We are taking a sabbatical/ break, followed by a trip to St. Louis, Missouri to assist in the round-the-clock care for both of Chris’ parents. We look forward to seeing a few family and friends, as well. We thank you for your understanding, support and prayers.
Also, watch for Mental Health Courses that will be made available on the STEP Forward Life Institute's web page by Amethyst Roberson (MA, LPC, NCC, CMLC).
