During a restful week of celebrating and reflecting on our 43rd wedding anniversary in the beautiful north Georgia mountains we sought to come up with how we’d describe our marriage in just a few words. My words were “God’s pursuing, persevering love.”
In the midst of our teenage ignorance, and immature love, we believed God was leading us together. As I look back over these 43 years, I’m struck by God’s overarching sovereign care, his gracious pursuit of us, his never ending perseverance, and his amazing love all in the midst of our brokenness, resistance, numerous mistakes, and outright sin....

As we invite men and women into understanding the battle for their heart, we recognize there are various hurdles that make participating in the process a challenge. Our dream at Wellspring is to make the Battle more accessible to individuals, teams and organizations. One way we are able to do this is through the generosity of others who partner with us financially through scholarship funds.
Here is a testimony of a young man, husband and father who was sponsored through the generosity of a Wellspring alumnus who invested in the lives of 4 men allowing them to experience the Battle for the Heart.
The Wellspring experience has been transformational for me. I'm discovering what it means to engage my domain with strength and love and walk with God in His larger story! It was the kindness and generosity of a brother who chose to sponsor our team that made all this possible. I am so grateful for the investment he has made in my life!
We currently have a team of women who serve in missions and whose husbands recently attended the Men’s Battle for the Heart event. We are seeking to raise $1,600 in scholarships to supplement this team’s registration fee.
Would you prayerfully consider how the Lord may lead you to participate in this scholarship need? As you consider your overall giving, would you ask the Lord if he is leading you to invest in this team or future teams through our scholarship fund?
Scholarship contributions are tax-deductible gifts. If you have any questions about how to give, or other contributions, please contact Abby abbym@wellspringgroup.org.
