It’s been a very eventful year both in our country and in our organization! More and more we see that the institution of marriage is under attack with many doubting its importance, significance, and even its relevance. It’s easy to get caught up in what society is telling us about marriage, but the truth is, marriage is so important, significant, and relevant!

Marriage is the foundation of society. Strong marriages create strong families which create strong communities, and those strong communities create a strong nation. It’s an upward domino effect, and that’s why we must fight to preserve the foundation of our society. We must fight to restore marriages, and thus, keep the heartbeat of our society beating strong.

At Foundation Restoration, that’s what we do. We fight for marriages.

This May we celebrated five years of doing just that – fighting for marriages. It’s been an incredible journey of faith, and our passion for marriages and families is greater than ever.  We also believe the need for our resources is greater than ever.

It’s exciting that this year, we launched several new initiatives to impact the marriages in our community. In June we opened up an office where we provide therapy for individuals and couples at reduced rates. We work with issues like depression, anxiety, stage of life adjustment, premarital preparation, recovery from infidelity, communication, conflict resolution, marriage enrichment, spiritual formation, grief work, and much more. We also created an interactive, fun, and informational marriage seminar that we put on at various churches and organizations. It’s full of practical information, discussion questions, applicable activities, real life scenarios and stories, and plenty of laughs. In addition we’ve been partnering with local churches and organizations to support marriages in their churches and communities.

As we wrap up 2015 and prepare for 2016, we find ourselves in need of people like you to come alongside of us so we can continue to minister to marriages everywhere. There’s a critical financial need for our organization to continue our efforts to restore the foundation of our society, and now through December 31st, your donation will have double the impact through our Hearts for Marriage Matching Challenge!

Whatever you give will be matched dollar for dollar as we work to raise $20,000 by the end of the year! If you have a heart for marriage, we are asking that you please consider making a tax-deductible yearend donation to Foundation Restoration, and help us equip, encourage, inspire, and restore marriages everywhere!

Thank you for being a blessing! May the Lord bless you and your marriage! Please see below for information about our #HeartsforMarriage giveaway.

Blessings and gratitude,
