Ministry Update June 2023

Dear Beloved Supporters of Standing Together,

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are writing to you today with hearts overflowing with gratitude and a deep sense of purpose, as we reflect on the incredible impact your unwavering support has had on the ministry of Standing Together. Your partnership has enabled us to be a beacon of hope, a source of comfort, and a catalyst for transformation in the lives of countless individuals.

We genuinely wish that you could be a fly on the wall in our various one-on-one conversations, in our meetings with pastors and ministry leaders, and in hearing the stories of the amazing things we see God doing in Utah and around the world today. It is through your generous contributions that we have been able to facilitate life-changing interactions with our LDS friends.

Through your support, we have brought pastors and ministry leaders together to encourage and love one another; this vital part of our ministry impacts everyone in their spheres of influence as they rely on the unity and support of their fellow laborers. We have taught the Bible, discipled, and walked alongside our LDS friends as their understanding of who God is and what it means to be saved is expanding and growing. We have facilitated student dialogues between Evangelicals and LDS and have seen the hand of God stir up their souls to understand and know the truth of His Word. And we have paved the way for national Evangelical leaders to have an impact in Utah and beyond.

As we look to the future, we are filled with a renewed sense of purpose and a deep longing to do even more. The needs around us are vast, and the field is more ripe for harvest than ever before. Together, we have the opportunity to make an even greater impact, to shine even brighter as a beacon of hope in a world often plagued by darkness.

We humbly invite you to consider continuing your support for Standing Together. Your faithful partnership will enable us to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and touch the lives of countless individuals in need of a Savior. Through your prayers, financial contributions, and acts of service, you are not only supporting a ministry but becoming an integral part of the beautiful tapestry that God is weaving in our broken world.

We acknowledge that there are many worthy causes vying for your attention and support. However, we firmly believe our ministry aligns with God's heart and purposes. Jesus prayed, "...that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them…" (John 17:23). May you be assured that your sacrificial giving is not in vain but will yield a harvest of eternal blessings.

As we stand together, hand in hand, we can be the catalyst for transformation that our world so desperately needs. Let us press on with unwavering faith, confident that our labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Together, we will continue to make a difference—one life at a time—until the knowledge of the glory of God fills the earth as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).

As we continue to serve, we find ourselves facing a critical financial need that threatens our ability to sustain our transformative work. Your support has the power to make an immeasurable difference, not only in the lives of those we serve but also in the larger fabric of society. Please consider joining us on the extraordinary journey by committing to give monthly or a substantial one-time contribution. By joining our support team, you will join a dedicated community of supporters committed to making a lasting impact. Together, we can make a profound and lasting change in the world.

In sincere gratitude and anticipation of what lies ahead,

Jill, Greg, Kelsey, and Marco
