Happy New Year 2023! We are so excited for what God has in store for The Smile Project and so incredibly thankful for all we were able to accomplish through Him in 2022. Let's catch up on all the TSP happenings over the span of the last 3 months... In October we had the wonderful privilege of coming together to encourage and uplift newlyweds Jacob and Penelope as they trust God through difficult health struggles. We were so thankful for the opportunity to come alongside them and remind them that they are not alone, and most importantly that God is right beside them each day they face. They wanted to extend their sincerest thanks to everyone who contributed because it made a big difference in their lives and really uplifted their hearts. And we thank you as well! Seeing the impact it made in their lives brought joy to our hearts as well. Without each of your beautiful contributions, TSP wouldn't be possible. Next up, let's check out our November project... In November our project was for a beautiful lady named Annie who is also facing difficult health struggles. It really blessed us to have the privilege of brightening her day through all of the cards and gifts our members sent in. And it did exactly that! She wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated and she shared that it encouraged her so much and that she will be cherishing the notes for a long time to come. Thank you so very much for each of your contributions! As we always say, no contribution is small because even what you think of as a simple note could mean the world to the person receiving it. Lastly, lets recap what we accomplished in December... Our co-founder Olivia organized a Christmas card outreach where she handwrote and sent out 50 cards to brighten individuals mailboxes across the US and Canada this holiday season! One of our members Lily W. organized a special Christmas Letter Exchange for our team of contributors to have fun, get to know each other better and spread cheer this holiday season. Featured below are a couple of the beautifully creative cards our members exchanged! We also had our monthly Smile Project which is currently wrapping up and will be posted soon! Sneak peak info - you won't want to miss the recap! And lastly... Our designer Bronwyn J. organized our yearly Starbucks gift card and track goodie bag outreach over Christmas and continuing over New Years! We can't wait to finish it up and share with you all about it and the lives we were able to impact towards Christ through it.
_________________________________________ As 2023 begins, we want to extend our deepest thanks to each of you who choose to be a part of our ministry of encouraging and uplifting others with the love of Jesus through the postal system. Without the hand of Jesus over all we do and your generous support; along with each of your cards and gifts for our participants, the Smile Project wouldn't be possible. YOU make a difference. God is using you in mighty ways for His kingdom. You are a world changer for Christ. Thank you for sharing your light to others through our ministry. We can hardly wait to see the mighty ways God will move through The Smile Project in 2023. Great things God has done and will continue to do.
