- 7. Blair County's Families Are Under Assault Families are Facing Challenges on Every Side It goes beyond the very real economic challenges of our day, which dominate the headlines, to other issues and internal questions that plead for answers. "How do I provide a healthy upbringing for my kids?" "How do my spouse and I get through these difficulties?" "Who can my teenager talk to? Someone needs to help her work through her memories of abuse." "Why do I get so angry? I'm concerned that someday I'll do something I'll regret."

- 15. How You Can Help I am seeking to raise $2500/month for calendar year 2012 to cover the salary/expenses not covered by Day One. I am also seeking about a dozen individuals who will be willing to give Christina and me counsel in regards to the ministry and pray for us faithfully. Would you consider: praying faithfully? being willing to give feedback and counsel? giving a one time donation? becoming a monthly supporter as God provides?
