Most of the people Rest Ministries™ serves are currently having financial difficulties, due to the severity of their illness. Your donation will enable us to:
		Reach out to people who are hurting, physically and emotionally. We offer hope through Jesus Christ through our heart-warming, yet realistic(!) resources that address living with a chronic condition.
		Continue to teach awareness to churches about the effects of invisible chronic illness, how to support a person, what to say and not say, how to make the church "chronic illness friendly," etc.
		Continue to exhibit at church leadership training seminars and chronic illness/pain conferences so that there is an increased awareness of the support that we offer.
		Offer additional programs and resources. We have planned for the future: additional support for caregivers and spouses, educational scholarships for a young person with a chronic illness, more Bible studies, outreach to children [of chronically ill parent/s and children with chronic illness] and much, much more!
		Grow! As the only ministry who promises to "walk the chronic illness journey" with you, we are greatly needed. So many people are hurting and looking for the cures in other areas, including New Age medicine.

Says Lisa, our founder, "When speaking with Joni Eareckson Tada, she said, 'The work you are doing is very important and not many other are doing it.'  On those days I am feel discontented, I remember her words and how right she is. We are very needed. This is bigger than any of us. Only God knows how many people are hurting and need a friend beside them."
