From Addiction to Baptism: Your Year End Gift Creates Miracles
Dear Friend,
Last Saturday, 64 neighbors joined us at Isaiah's – many recovering from addiction and rebuilding their lives in sober living homes. Two gave their lives to Christ and will be baptized soon! This is why your support matters.
Our Year-End Goals
$35,000 dollars needed to keep our ministry thriving through year-end.
Our Year-End Goals: $35,000 Total
We're raising funds for two critical needs:
1. General Operating Expenses: $15,000 To keep our ministry thriving through year-end:
Cover essential operating costs
Maintain daily programs and services
Respond to emergency assistance requests
Ensure no neighbor is turned away
2. Holiday Helping Hands Project: $20,000 To bring hope and practical help to 100+ families this holiday season:
Emergency utility assistance to prevent shutoffs
Food and groceries for holiday meals
Warm clothing and blankets for winter
Gifts for children who would otherwise go without
Rent assistance to prevent holiday evictions
Note: Corporate Sponsorships are welcome.
What We Do: Isaiah's provides essential discipleship and life services to our most vulnerable neighbors:
Weekly breakfast, Bible study, and lunch programs
Basic needs: showers, laundry, food pantry, furniture assistance
Life skills training and spiritual mentorship
Community service partner for Tulsa County
Monthly birthday celebrations with gifts and cake
Why Now? Since August, we've barely covered our bills. With no paid staff and hundreds of weekly requests for help, we're stretched thin. Recently, I accidentally missed a text from a mother needing help with her electric bill. When she asked why I "ghosted" her, I was heartbroken. We paid her bill immediately, but it showed me how overwhelmed we've become. The holidays bring even more urgent needs – and we want to say "yes" to every family in crisis.
How Your Gift Makes an Impact:
$50 provides a week of groceries for a family
$150 keeps the lights on for a neighbor facing shutoff
$350 sponsors a complete holiday blessing for one family
$500 helps a family avoid eviction
$1,000 covers a week of ministry operations
$2,500 transforms the holidays for 7 families
Any amount brings us closer to serving 100+ families
