A Note from Pastor Rick

Dear Friend, 

There’s one thing we all have in common: We all want to make a difference with our lives. It’s how God wired us. He specifically shaped you to make a unique contribution in this world. 

The Bible says it like this: “God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings” (1 Peter 4:10 TLB). 

Now maybe you read that, and it fills you with anxiety. Maybe it feels like just one more thing for your to-do list. I understand the feeling, but that’s not what God has in store. 

Using your gifts, making a difference, living out your God-given purpose . . . this actually frees you from so much of the stress we’re under these days. 

That’s because it focuses your life on what matters most, and the rest can just roll off your back! 

This biblical rhythm to life offers so much peace and joy as you face each day eager for what God has in store. It’s how we were created to live. It’s how you can thrive! 

I pray you experience this kind of rhythm with God this year. And please know that Daily Hope is here to help. Every resource is designed to help you rest in Christ and live out his plans for your life. Just as your support does the same for others! 

Thank you for going on mission with me to reach every nation with the Good News that hope, life, purpose, meaning, impact, peace, and joy are available to us all in Jesus. 

Pastor Rick
