A Midyear Update from EmPowered Living

Dear Friends and Faithful Partners,

Some gifts come like refreshing rain 🌧️ — timely, generous, and deeply encouraging.

Others come like a faithful stream 🌊 — steady, quiet, and life-giving, month after month.

At EmPowered Living, we thank God for both. But today, as we pause at the midpoint of 2026, we especially want to give thanks for the faithful stream of regular and monthly donors who help keep this ministry flowing.

Your steady generosity provides strength, consistency, and encouragement throughout the year. Every recurring gift — whether large or small — helps sustain the work God has entrusted to us. Your faithfulness allows us to plan with wisdom, serve with confidence, and continue moving forward in ministry.

🙌 Celebrating God’s Provision So Far

As of June 30, EmPowered Living has received $169,756 toward our 2026 budget of $320,000.

That means:

• ✅ 53.0% of our annual need has already been met

• 💛 $169,756 has been received

• 🎯 $150,244 remains to be raised by December 31

• 📈 We are $9,756 ahead of a straight-line midyear pace

We are deeply grateful for this provision and give God praise.

We also thank God for the remarkable $90,000 gift from the Antioch Foundation and for major donors who gave early during our Matching Campaign. These gifts came like a refreshing rain at just the right time and helped strengthen the ministry in a significant way.

🌱 Why Monthly Giving Matters

As we look toward the second half of the year, we are trusting God for the remaining $150,244 needed by December 31.

Because some of our major gifts came early, the faithful stream of regular giving will be especially important in the months ahead — along with new donors and new major gifts as God provides.

If you are already a monthly or regular donor, thank you. 💛Your faithful stream of giving matters deeply. God is using your generosity in ways both seen and unseen.

Every monthly gift helps create a steady foundation for ministry. It allows EmPowered Living to plan wisely, serve consistently, and continue walking through the doors God opens.

Thanking God and trusting Him for the balance and more — for His Name’s sake!
