News from the Developement Office

Isn’t it wonderful that God hears our prayers and answers them? Imagine if you and everyone receiving this newsletter wrote down how God has answered their prayers in the last five years. We could easily fill several books, and what a testimony that would be! How true are the words of Matthew 7:7–8: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened.”

I just want to update you on our progress in planning to build a new center.

As you know, we have completed the first steps by procuring the 60 beautiful acres of land near the Jacksonville airport. The next major step is getting an architect to render visible plans.

In the meantime, we are building the infrastructure we need by establishing a Development Team, of which I am part. A major change for us has been that a member of our Board, Bryan and Page Simpson, has given us, for two years, a beautiful office space, separate from the CHM campus where our staff offices are located. The new office is in an excellent location in Ponte Vedra Beach, so the development group can easily meet together every day. Another valuable gift that has been donated to the new office is office furniture, given to us by Jay McGarvey.

The Board of Directors of CHM has been diligently planning to enhance the business side of the ministry by establishing the Development Office which is to be known as the Christian Healing Ministries Foundation. The Foundation will focus on the donor support that is needed to build the new center.

This is an exciting time to be part of the Development Team that will be an essential part of Christian Healing Ministries. As our country waits for good news concerning the economy, large numbers of the sick continue to contact CHM for prayer. We rejoice at God’s faithfulness in answering our prayers and in seeing the faithfulness of those who support CHM’s ministry.

Mike Simon is the Director of Development for CHM.
