Come and see what God has done,

his awesome deeds for mankind! Psalm 66:5


Hello Jodi,


A wise friend and fellow non-profit leader told me that people tend to overestimate what can be accomplished in five years, and underestimate what can be accomplished in ten. I have often turned that thought into a prayer, as we trusted God through the last five years of transitioning Hephzibah Ministries to an exciting new organizational model.


We’re celebrating that since our March 2019 relaunch, Hephzibah62:4 has achieved operational self-sustainability and growth while investing in Wesleyan churches, families, and students with coaching, equipping opportunities and nearly $280,000 in total grant funding. And in many ways, we are just getting started!


So, what kind of impact are we witnessing as Wesleyan people and churches catch the vision and partner with Hephzibah62:4 to transform the lives of vulnerable children in their families, churches and communities?


Be encouraged by just a few of our favorite testimonies from the past year below.


Now, as we anticipate turning the page of the calendar to a new year, we celebrate and thank God that Hephzibah62:4 is continuing the important work of transforming the lives of vulnerable children through the power of Christ, 125 YEARS after Bettie Tyler founded the original Hephzibah Orphanage in January of 1900.


Continue to join us in this work by helping to mobilize your church for effective hands-on ministry and by giving financially to fund adoptions, ministry grants, and equipping resources. And stay engaged to see how our faithful God continues to show up and do more than we can ask or imagine in the next five years!


Thank you for your faithful, prayerful, trailblazing support,


Jodi and the Hephzibah62:4 Team

"[Getting involved in Jonathan's Heart Ministry] was truly the first time I felt like we belonged. Solid Rock has opened their doors for families like mine. Activities such as these give him the opportunity to do what every child loves to do, in a way that meets his needs."

“[This ministry] gave our aging congregation new purpose and unity. New excitement and enthusiasm permeated our congregation as we remodeled the parsonage to become the Care Cottage, as we transported boxes of clothes, and as we folded and sized clothes in anticipation of kinship family visits.”
