“Come before winter…” – 2 Timothy 4:21a
As Paul urged Timothy to “come before winter” and cheer his heart in prison, so I seek your assistance before this coming winter. I need your help in two related areas: seizing a rare opportunity and addressing a sizable short-term challenge. The opportunity comes through several friends of Liebenzell who have cheerfully established a large Come Before Winter matching challenge that would be remarkable to meet before the end of the year. These generous friends have agreed to match $75,000 dollar-for-dollar of all other donations given to the campaign between now and December 31st, 2024.
These funds will serve both our Retreat and Global ministries to carry out our mission.
Retreat Ministries: Your support will help us continue to provide a place of reflection and learning so guests can experience God on the Mountaintop in meaningful ways. Our immediate plans are to:
- Upgrade Guest Services
- Expand Recreational Amenities
- Update Retreat Houses and Facilities
Global Ministries: Our 2025 prayer goal is to add 20 new missionaries in five new geographic locations around the world (adding to our 55 workers in 12 countries on six continents). Your gifts will undergird these efforts and support this ambitious vision for expansion.
Prayer: We know none of this can be accomplished without prayer. Will you join us each day until the end of the year as we ask for an outpouring of God’s blessing? Thank you!
Please watch the video below to learn more, and please give generously.
