Our
new magazine debuted in January 2004 and has received an amazing
response. . .
Congratulations!
What a great magazine! I've always enjoyed your newsletters with
their inspiring articles about real people struggling with chronic
illness. This publication is attractive in layout and informative
in content. I especially enjoyued reading the secion, "What
I Wish My Pasto Understood About Chronic Illness." It rings
so true! It emphasizes to me how important it is to prepare seminary
students to the issues about disability. Best wishes for success
in this new endeavor. - Ginny Thornburg, Director of Religion
and Disability Program, National
Organization on Disability,
Your glossy
magazine has touched me because I have been feeling like one of
my life's dreams is far away now, but I can now see that just
because I am ill does not mean that I can't reach my goals with
God's help. Because all things are possible through Him. You are
such a testimony to so many in so many different ways. -Doan
You guys
are doing an amazing job. The Lord is certainly leading you as
you gather articles and put this magazine together for us. Thank
you so much.

I love
the magazine. . .It is just the perfect size - I can put it in
my purse and read it whenever I want! I have also read some of
the first articles and they are just great! What a nice job you
have done. It's amazing how even a little thing, like paper quality,
can end up making such an important statement. Thank you so much
for making us feel valued, in all that you do, and for offering
us such a fine magazine to look forward to getting in our mailboxes!

The
new magazine is AWESOME!! I adore it! I ordered a subscription for
my pastor also and I am so proud of you that you have done what
you have with it. Just to know that [my pastor] is reading it and
this is before I have been able to present my ministry, is just
a perfect way for him to get a feel of what HopeKeepers is all about.

There are
so many things I like about HopeKeepers
Magazine! First,
I cannot believe how much you can pack in such a small space. I
like small magazines such as yours and Readers
Digest as
they are easier on my hands. But mostly because there is something
in there for everyone it seems. I read it and think "oh, I
have to share this article with so and so" who happens to have
the illness you are talking about. I do so wish I could afford to
get subscriptions for a few people but can barely afford my own.
I cannot think of anything right now that you should change. You
are obviously taking the Lord's "advice" when putting
it together. Keep up the good work, Lisa. In Christ, L.
