November Update from Julie

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. " - Psalm 106:1

Isn’t it amazing to think about the fact that God’s love endures forever? Many things are fleeting, but his love isn’t like that.  We can hardly fathom what forever is like, but that is how God is.  His ways and thoughts are higher than ours and his is a love that has NO end. 

Recently, I was looking at the night sky at a country home in Illinois where the darkness was so deep.  The sky was full of bright stars that took my breath away and I marveled in the wonder. Do you think sometimes that God wants us to just stop and marvel at what he has made and done?  He inspires our awe with his creation, nature, power and love! 

This year, at Catalyst Ministries, God has taken our breath away and caused us to be amazed at his work and provision so many times!  At this time of year, we like to pause and take time to simply express our gratitude to God for what he’s done. Please join us in thanking him!  Here are just a few of the things we’re feeling so grateful for this November: 

• We’ve seen the residents of Catalyst Farms grow and heal in such important ways, as they’ve worked hard to reach life-changing goals

• We sought a home and property to establish Catalyst Ranch in North Texas. We are now seeing this space that God prepared for women to find peace, hope and healing

• We gathered with many of you for special Be A Catalyst event in Illinois. What a beautiful evening we shared together!

• We’ve seen new team members join as donors, volunteers and staff members in so many roles vital to the mission.

Because you give your time, treasure and prayers, the essential mission of restoring lives is actually happening. Thank you.

Together we are seeing lives changed. What a joy to do this good and miraculous work together with you! 

 Amazed and Grateful,
Julie Ryan
