Ways to Support Anew Day

We are a non-profit organization and we need your support!

As a 501(c)3 non-profit religious corporation, we rely solely on financial support from donations and volunteers. You can donate one-time, monthly, or through stocks/wills/living trusts - read below for more information about these options.

SUPPORT MONTHLY: Monthly donors are our bread and butter. They supply the dependable income needed to pay consistent monthly bills for the operation of our counseling and counselor training center. These recurring payments can easily be set up through your bank, our website or by calling our office.

FUND SPECIFIC NEEDS: Anew Day always has a wish list for help with various needs/wants. If you would like to supply one or more of those needs for us, you will know exactly what your money is purchasing for our ministry.

GIVE ONE TIME: Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and are needed to fill in the gap between what our monthly donors give, and the operating costs of Anew Day. No amount is too small and all donations are greatly appreciated!

DONATE GOODS AND/OR SERVICES: If you own/manage a business that supplies goods or services that might be helpful to Anew Day, in-kind donations can be terrific, and their value is tax deductible. Even a store discount would be greatly appreciated.

ESTATE PLANNING: Many people remember charitable organizations in their wills and trusts. We would be very grateful if you would consider adding Anew Day to your estate planning.

Suffering, A Road No One Should Walk Alone

Suffering is part of the human condition despite the fact that so many try to act like it's not. Social media platforms allow people to create whatever image they want others to see. Many use digital media to erase the appearance of struggle and hardship, painting a distorted picture of reality. So, despite what you see on your screens, let me assure you that no one is untouched by hardship and struggle.

Some struggles are public, like the death of a loved one or an injury. Others are private, like depression, abuse or addiction. Whether public or private, the road of suffering is difficult to walk. The good news is, you don’t have to walk it alone. The Bible records that when God created Adam, He said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Then God created Eve and with her, companionship and ultimately community.

It is not good for us to bear the burdens and the sufferings of life alone, so why do we do it?

Often it is because we are ashamed of our struggles. Sometimes it is because we don’t want to add our burdens to anyone else’s load. Other times it is because we don’t want anyone else to know we’re struggling. Occasionally it is because we don’t have anyone in our lives who can help us carry them.

These are all reasons why Anew Day is so vital to our community. We believe all people should have someone to be open and honest with, someone who will listen and care, someone who will help them process and see their circumstances from a different perspective. We believe all people should have a personal cheerleader who roots for them and encourages them.

Anew Day is an organization of Christian people who love others by walking with them on the difficult roads of life to lend a helping hand.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” - Gal. 6:2

So, what does it mean to be a Christian? Among other things, it means that you intimately know and have experienced the love of God expressed through His son, Jesus Christ. This love changes a person from the inside out. This love is a light that shines into the blackest darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it. This love is a gift, not to be hoarded, but to be shared. Jesus himself said, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)

Jesus set an example of loving others and asks His people to follow it. Therefore…

"We love because He first loved us." - 1 John 4:19

Thank You For Your Support

Thank you for donating to support the ministry of Anew Day in the month of November. It was a busy month. Many people have graduated from our Counseling Skills Workshop and have gained valuable skills for helping others and maintaining healthy relationships themselves.

The 17th Annual MEB2 Turkey Trot is in the books and it was a great success. God gave us beautiful weather on Thanksgiving, which was a blessing. Around 2,000 people came out to enjoy the morning together. 1,800 of them were registered participants and there were at least 100 volunteers helping pull it all off. I was inspired by the way this event highlights the beauty of our community. What a great group of people and what a fun morning together. Thank you to the Bratton family for your sacrifices in organizing and hosting the Turkey Trot once again. It has become a valuable tradition for so many.

I have mixed emotions in letting you know that our beloved Clinical Director, Keith Thompson, is moving on. I am happy for him as he prepares to take his private practice full time. He has a new office and is excited about taking this step. We wish him all the best in this transition. That said, I am also so sad to see him go. He has served the Lord faithfully through Anew Day for many years. Keith will be with us for several more months as we go through the recruitment and hiring process. Please keep us in your prayers as this position is critical to the culture and quality of our ministry. May God lead us to the perfect fit and go before us to prepare the heart of the person He is calling. Please pray that this individual embraces the beauty and impact of our work as well as the privilege and responsibility of leadership.

Hundreds of people have come through our doors this year seeking help and encouragement. It has been our pleasure to be here for them and to walk with them on the challenging roads of life. Thank you for giving to supply what we need to do the work we’ve been called to do.

With appreciation for your support,

Tricia Johnson

Executive Director
