July 2025

Hello, Meagan,


Every now and then, you hear a story and it stays with you.


I first heard Delana Brooks's story after a colleague met her. As I understood it, she is an abortion survivor who now heads a pregnancy resource center in Fort Worth, Texas. Knowing there was so much more to the story, I set up a time to interview her...and I'm so glad I did, because Delana's story is a reminder of God's redemption and grace.

Read mailer version

Delana is the sweetest person with a heart for women and their babies—born and unborn. She and the staff and volunteers at the center are changing lives on a daily basis.


Read the full story, The Search that Keeps Saving, in our feature piece.

The Search that Keeps Saving

Delana Brooks's search for her medical records uncovered an abortion attempt—and began a mission to help women like her birth mother.

 

If you could double your impact in one or two areas, what would they be?

  • USA patients/Maternal health?
  • Disaster relief?
  • Malaria medication?
  • Orphans in Haiti?
  • All things medical missions?

In July, any donation to any fund will be matched, up to $18,000! Even if you mix things up and donate to several funds, all donations will contribute to the $18k match.


As always, 100% of donations are dedicated to providing medications, vitamins, and medical supplies.

 The question that remains is how quickly can we meet our goal of $18,000?

 

New Devotional Series

We've just launched a new plan for teams and individuals on mission trips! It's called Mission Trip Checkup: On Mission.


We're excited for this new plan because it completes our original Mission Trip Checkup series. If you were familiar with our original YouVersion devotional, you know it was for before and after a mission trip.


Now we've spliced our former plan and added On Mission in the middle so that we can offer three distinct devotions for before, during, and after mission trips.


We look forward to encouraging mission teams all around the world with this series.


Save your next plan here...

 

Donor Advised Funds

Did you know donor advised funds are a simple way to support organization like Blessings International? It is free to set up, you receive a tax deduction when you contribute to the DAF, and you can invest the funds to continue taking advantage of the stock market.

An Unexpected Blessing

God showered us with an unexpected blessing recently! We received a $10,416 grant—all because of word of mouth.


A Robert Wood Johnson Foundation employees heard about Blessings International from a friend who had volunteered with our partner Timmy Global Health. Intrigued by how much Blessings has made an impact, she recommended us for the President Staff Award at her organization—and we won! Isn’t God amazing?
