Does Hephzibah62:4 need my year-end donation?
Dear Hephzibah Friends,

During the Christmas season, it is usual for good-hearted Christians to reflect on our own blessings, turn our hearts afresh to those who are vulnerable and alone, and seek to help.

Understandably, questions have been abundant since the sale of the former Hephzibah property in Macon, Georgia. Have you asked yourself, “Does Hephzibah62:4 still need my support?” or "Would my donation really make a difference?" My hope and prayer is that the following will help to bring clarity where it is needed.

Since the property was sold in March of 2019 and debts were paid, the remaining funds has been wisely invested to provide a modest but sustainable annual budget for Hephzibah62:4. This allows us to operate with a small, efficient team that is not dependent on the ebb and flow of donations. What an incredible blessing!

YOUR support becomes vital in funding adoption and ministry grants and equipping opportunities for vetted Wesleyan individuals, families and church ministries throughout the U.S. and Canada who are committed to hands-on ministry to vulnerable children and families.

Don’t miss the testimonies below, to gain insight into some powerful ways your donations are being used for Kingdom impact.

Will you commit a year-end gift to help us equip and mobilize even more Wesleyan individuals, families, and churches across North America to transform the lives of vulnerable children in 2022?

Merry Christmas!

Jodi Lewis, Director

Our 100% Pledge: Because all administrative costs are funded by earnings on investment from the sale of the former Hephzibah property, every penny of your gift will be used for grants and resources to equip Wesleyan people and local church ministries committed to transforming the lives of vulnerable children.

"[This course] was fundamental for my growth in knowledge and passion as a future Christian Counsellor. I have an eternal Father who is God and who is always there for me, in the same way he is there for vulnerable children...I was able to grasp...subjects such as trauma, adoption, and foster care."

"[Fundraising] was the part I was most afraid of. How are we going to pay for this? That was one of the coolest ways we saw God move." Paul and Alli were awarded a matching grant through the Hephzibah62:4 Adoption Fund...providing an opportunity for people in their lives to support them generously.
