PAYING IT FORWARD
Greetings!

This week, our COO Jim Buffington received the note below from Nicole Hutchison-Moore, a BTL graduate and donor who, after release from prison, started her own women's prison ministry*:

Jim & Team:
You have changed my life and so many others in ways that can't be described. A bridge to life is literally what you and your
volunteers do!
I had been through countless hours of therapy, yet never felt free,
forgiven, nor whole as a human. Being a part of my little BTL group
every week gave me that. I worked every segment of the material, yes,
but I grew leaps and bounds by the women that were with me.
I love you all. I am grateful to you all. Without you, what would I be?
My entire family thanks you.
Much love,
Nicole Hutchison-Moore

Over 6,000 participants have graduated from the BTL program so far this year, and we anticipate as many as 2,000 more by year's end. We pray that, like Nicole, each and every one of them will find a bridge to freedom, forgiveness, and wholeness through Bridges To Life.

Gratefully,

John Sage, Founder & CEO
Jim Buffington, COO

*Nicole's ministry is The Rusty Diamond Network.

IT TAKES YOU
Did you know that the greatest portion of BTL's financial support
comes from our individual donors?
While we are generously funded by many foundations, companies, and churches,
gifts from individuals make up nearly half of our donations each year!

As we kick off our Annual Appeal campaign this month, we ask that you
consider supporting the work of BTL. Click the button below to make
a one-time gift or even set up a monthly donation.
Thank You!
