Dear Reader,

As we reach the end of the year, we’ve been reflecting on the many ways God has shown His faithfulness—often in quiet moments, often in unexpected places. And if FamilyLife’s resources have offered encouragement or helped your family draw closer to Christ, we are truly grateful to have walked that journey with you.

In the coming year, countless families will be seeking the same kind of hope, wisdom, and connection found in God’s Word. Your generosity today helps place biblical resources into homes longing for strength and renewal.

And through a special $2 million matching gift, every gift given right now will be doubled, extending Christ-centered help and hope to twice as many families.

Would you consider partnering with us before the year ends to help more homes experience the joy and nearness of Jesus?
