Well it is a brand new year and I know that God has big plans for Sanctuary!!!

We sent our Form 1023 application to the IRS right after Christmas. We are officially applying for our Tax Exempt status under IRS code 501c3. I know that it will be granted in God’s time.

In the meantime we are preparing. We ordered the DVD series today to learn the basics of counseling. This will prepare us for interviewing and assisting the women who come to us for help.

God’s direction for us is to study to show ourselves approved, ready to work for Him at Sanctuary as in  2Timothy 2:15. All of those who will be Recovery Advisors will be contacted soon to begin their training as well.

It is an exciting time. I cannot wait to see all that God does this year. I know that we have many tasks ahead of us once we finish this training and get our tax exempt status; such as constant prayer, planning, fund raising, a building, furnishings, books, DVDs, CDs for the library, schedules,  counselors and lawyers ready to volunteer their time and expertise,  getting our support group meetings established, and then spreading the word that we are ready to help. But all that is in God’s time and control. All things are possible with Christ!!!

Please continue to pray with us as we continue on this journey. We need to stay in tune with God each step of the way.

God bless you all and thank you for your support!
