Wow! What a praise!

I received this email from a woman who won a prize for completing my “peacemaking women” survey and boy! It was SO encouraging that I thought I would share it with you too.

Love to all,
Tara B.

“I just had to let you know how our sovereign God works through others. I received your package in the mail today and was in disbelief when I opened the package. You sent me a copy of Dr. Welch’s book on depression and there is no way you could have known that I had been trying to figure out a quick way to get a copy to give a friend of mine.

The local bookstores don’t carry it and the last time I ordered it from the local Christian book store it took almost a month to arrive.

Dr.Welch’s book has really helped me to understand depression and has shown me how to deal with different aspects of depression when they arise. At the same time I started reading the book the Lord started opening doors with other women who were also suffering from depression for various reasons.

It made me realize that women who suffer from depression often do it in silence and alone. They are often afraid to talk to someone else for fear of what people might think. I am prayerfully considering starting a local support group through my church for women who suffer from depression.

Please pray for me as I seek the Lord’s will and I would also ask you to pray for my friend, [name], as I try to minister to her. Thank you again for your ministry and I look forward to hopefully seeing you in Atlanta in September.

By His Grace,
SP”
