From the Desk of Johnnette...


Standing soul-to-soul.

Greetings!
 
Can you believe we have hit the halfway mark of 2020? And what a year it has been!

Since January, we have been held in the grip of a worldwide pandemic that has changed our way of life, affected our ability to practice our Faith, and has robbed us of the opportunity to be present to family and friends.

Couple that with the rise of a Marxist revolution whose adherents have usurped a legitimate injustice to forward their socialist advance by holding cities hostage, destroying sacred statues both secular and religious, committing violent acts against priests, religious, and fellow Catholics, and attempting to curtail all five of our First Amendment Rights and you have a Molotov cocktail hurled at all we hold dear as citizens and as Catholics. 

For those of us with eyes to see, these events have Satan’s fingerprints all over them. He is the enemy of freedom, of life, of faith, and of unity. And make no mistake, we are engaged in the fiercest battle for souls any of us have ever seen.

The good news is that we are in this battle together. We are soldiers in the army of Jesus Christ our King and Mary our Queen, fortified and strengthened by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony (Rev. 12:11), and together we march forward side-by-side and soul-to-soul.
 
With your support Living His Life Abundantly/Women of Grace is doing everything in its power to support the faithful through these challenging times, by bringing hope, raising the banner of truth, and reclaiming souls for God. We know that by living the truths of our Faith, even with Covid-19 restrictions, we can bring the face of Christ to every corner of the world. He is our hope, our light and our only lasting peace. He can mend the fabric of division and bring brothers and sisters together as the family of God. We are witnessing it EVERY DAY.

How is this being accomplished?

We've just held our Made for Happiness, Made for Joy Women of Grace and Young Women of Grace online retreats. The outpouring of God's grace and mercy was abundant. Yes, together, we are accomplishing our mission to transform one woman, and one soul at a time.

As you know, we are in the midst of our campaign to raise the $60,000 needed to support these and other life changing programs throughout the summer and into the Fall. Many of you have stepped up to help but we are far short of our goal.

We know that times are beyond difficult. But we also know that souls are at stake. Now is not the time for us to retreat. Now is the time for us to advance into the mission field of our nation and within our Church.

I am asking, no, begging for you to continue your partnership by making a sacrificial gift today. Stand with us in this battle for souls.

Your one-time gift today you will equip us to fight the enemies that seek to destroy us and our loved ones. Below is a link to take you to your donation opportunity.

Thank you for your prayers and your generous support. My staff and I pray for you EVERY day. Please pray for us, too. I am so abundantly grateful to “soldier on” with you under the banner of Jesus Christ Our King and Mary, Our Queen. 

May the abundant life of Jesus Christ be yours and may God bless you! 
With gratitude and hope,
Johnnette Benkovic Williams
