Donate to Heart of Forgiveness

Hello fellow Christians,

Last year I began teaching and leading a team of people at our church and teaching two bible studies a week. After being healed of over 14 different diseases including cancer and a broken back without any medications, I felt that I needed to share my healings with others and help them get on their way with their walk with the Lord. I now minister to people that are troubled with either health or relationship issues 25-35 hours a week. These are people from my church or from Pastor Wright in Georgia, and some are simply referrals from others that I have helped. I have spent as long as a week with a family that had been fighting for their marriage, to a grandson involved in drugs and witchcraft.

Last fall I went on a mission trip to Cuidad Victoria, Mexico with 10 friends that I had been ministering to for several months. This trip was life changing for me. I led the teaching and the ministry to over 50-60 people a night, and many others during the day. I even taught at a men’s prison where I taught about forgiveness.

One night we ministered to several very young girls that were orphans. They were only 10-12 years old and had been sold into prostitution as children, or just thrown away like trash by their families. I met the woman that owned the very small and simple orphanage. She is an American that is helping out where she can. She gives a home to 12 children, and a pastor, his wife and their 3 children. But her funds are extremely limited. (School in Mexico in rural areas is $520.00 a year and most cannot afford it. In the major cities it is $50.00 a month, and many families send their children to live with relatives in the country so they can afford to send their children to school.) Each child at the orphanage has a box on a small shelf where all their belongings must fit. This box is 12” x 18” and 12” deep. Their shoes, socks, pj’s, toys, and clothing fit in this one box. They have nothing else but love from the woman that lives at the orphanage and the pastor and his wife who also live there with their three children. Food is very limited as is transportation. The pastor’s vehicle is a very old truck that is constant need of repair.

The Lord has laid on my heart to help this orphanage and perhaps more places like this as I get acquainted and as I receive funds. In January I started a non-profit organization called “Heart of Forgiveness” ministry. Besides teaching about forgiveness at churches of all denominations, my goal is to help these orphans and others like them, not just in Mexico but here in the U.S. Also.

The Bible places great emphasis on assisting the poor and helpless, especially orphans, widows, and the handicapped.

 James 1:27 (NLT)
²⁷ Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Exodus 22:22 (AMP)
²² You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

If you would like to make a financial contribution to my ministry "heart of Forgiveness," you will receive a free rosary for all contributions of $50 increments or more and tax a receipt at the end of the year. Due to the fees I have to pay through pay pal, however, I ask that you send checks. If you are interested in helping these children, you may simply make a one time or a regular donation to the general support of my ministry. Checks can be sent to:

Matthew 10:5-8 (AMP)
⁵ Jesus sent out these twelve, charging them, Go nowhere among the Gentiles and do not go into any town of the Samaritans;
⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
⁷ And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!
⁸ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.

Several people have asked me why I don’t do this for Americans instead of these people in Mexico. I am learning as I am going. This is a first for me. I have raised money for many organizations in the past when I lived in Houston. But, I have never helped; hands on with beautiful little children that no one wants in a foreign country. I plan to try to help more here in the U.S., but this opportunity has arisen and I feel this is where the Lord is leading me right now and teaching me how to assist others where there is not as much red tape in order to help.

I know of several single moms in Lampasas with several children that could not afford Christmas gifts or even something new for their children to wear at Christmas, and I feel led to help these mom’s this year at Christmas. I also know of several senior citizens that have difficulty paying for their utilities and even food, that I want to help assist. Every penny that is sent is used for what it is sent for. None of your money will be spent on fat pay checks and cushy jobs, before it goes to help these people and my ministry to the broken and dejected.

I ask you to search your heart and to send whatever amount the Lord lays on your heart to send either every month or occasionally when you can. Your gifting is tax deductible, and I will claim it at the end of the year and a statement will be sent to you for the IRS of your contributions.

Luke 6:38 (NLT)
³⁸ Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

May God bless you.

In His Light,

Jolene
