December, 2020 - STCH Ministries

If I had to pick two words that defined STCH Ministries International during this COVID-2020 year, I would have to choose perseverance and flexibility. Perseverance to overcome obstacles, take calculated risks while exercising appropriate protocols, replace fear with faith in God’s provision and faithfulness. And flexibility. In the past we depended on mission teams to meet many needs of children and families, and to support the ministries of orphanages, schools and churches through our presence, resources and “sweat equity.” Without mission teams, our STCH Ministries partners stepped forward and organized, distributed responsibilities, substituted in-person for WhatsApp, Zoom, phone, email and text and continued to serve.

At the same time, the STCH Ministries family of donors responded to the increased needs—food to feed children and families, computers to aid distance learning. Eron Green captured our call to action and service during this time with, “THE MINISTRY CONTINUES.” Click on the link below to see a short video of all that was accomplished, and celebrate our God who “always supplies our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.”

May your Christmas be blessed and the New Year welcomed, with an eternal perspective. ”God is still on the throne, Almighty God is He, and He cares for His own through all eternity.”

Bendiciones,

We hope you had a wonderfully blessed and thankful Thanksgiving! We know it may have looked a little different this year – but prayerfully you still remained grateful to the Lord for He is Good!

“And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.”
1 Chronicles 29:13

We are gratefully blessed because of you.
Thank you for helping the Ministry Continue!

HOMES FOR CHILDREN

Through your generous contributions, our students are able to participate in many different activities in school such as athletics, UIL, showing animals and so much more!

Recently two of our teen students, Laura and Seth, from our Homes for Children campus showed their steer and heifer in Cameron, TX.

We are so thankful for the opportunity our students are given to take part in 4H due to supporters like YOU!!

FAMILY COUNSELING

The impact God makes on our lives – when we invite God into our lives – is life-changing.

A client of Family Counseling recently shared an encouraging message with one of our counselors. The client expressed her thankfulness by explaining how God used the counselor’s words as a way for God to intervene and allow healing.

I just wanted to share with you that God spoke through you yesterday.
I really felt His “peace like a river” wash over me by the end of our session.
Thank you for allowing Him to use you.
This is why I feel so strongly that the spiritual aspect of counseling
cannot be left out, and am so grateful to be working with you.

This is a wonderful reminder that God intervenes and speaks by using others to do His Will. And when God intervenes, lives are impacted.

STCH Ministries would not be able to counsel and minister to those we serve, without the help of supporters like YOU!

GIVING TUESDAY IS HERE!

The stories we share with you, and so many others – are a reminder of how God uses others to carry out His Will.

STCH Ministries is thankful for you, your prayers and your support.

As the busy holiday season begins it’s easy to get consumed with shopping, traveling and year-end deadlines.

Will you please consider taking a moment today – out of your busy schedule – and share an act of HOPE? Today is the annual day of giving, #GivingTuesday.
