Charis Membership

We at Charis are extremely grateful for our wonderful members. This past year, your dues have made it financially possible for us to creatively correspond with people in areas of the world where internet is spotty at best. Having all forms of communication available for us is essential if we are going to successfully train birth professionals in the far reaches of the earth. As our community of members grows, there will be more funds available for even more world-impacting outreach. Thank you!

Membership is due every December 31 for the coming calendar year. So, if you became a member on or before December 31, 2014, your dues should be mailed by the middle of December, 2015, to be sure it is received in time. If you become a member sometime in 2015, then your membership renewal is not due until December 31, 2016.

Our Director's Heart

Joy and Mark Wheat

New Things!

Now that it is public knowledge, I am very excited to announce that I have another grandbaby on the way!!! My daughter Joy and her husband Mark are expecting their first baby at the beginning of October. Mark and Joy are already such wonderful, loving parents to this sweet little one and we are extremely proud of our growing family. I have the privilege, once again, of being the midwife for a grandbaby and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity.

We are also preparing for a different kind of birth! Charis’s sister school is in the final stages of preparation for launch. We will have a big announcement in June’s newsletter with all the details you have been waiting for! It feels like this gestation has taken forever; but, like real pregnancy, just when you begin to think you might be pregnant forever, labor begins!

Spring is bringing so many new things in all areas of life. This week’s new thing at Charis includes a new staff person, Karen. In next month’s newsletter, you will get to “meet” Karen. We can’t wait to introduce her to you!

Blessings to all of you!

'Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child and The one who labors with child, together,
A great throng shall return there...And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
