DUE TO THE LEGAL RESTRICTIONS REGARDING COVID IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA OUR USUAL MINISTRIES WERE SEVERELY LIMITED. THE RESTRICTIONS ALSO CURTAILED OUR USUAL MINISTRY OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA. NEAR THE END OF 2021, AS COVID RESTRICTIONS BEGAN TO LOOSEN, TWO CHURCHES INVITED US TO TEACH FORGIVENESS IN 2022.FOR EXAMPLE, WE WERE NOT INVITED TO SOLEDAD STATE PRISON OR SHEPHERDS GATE WOMENS RECOVERY HOME, AS IN THE YEARS BEFORE COVID. WE WERE NOT INVITED TO CHURCHES TO PRESENT SEMINARS OR WORKSHOPS. OUR PREVIOUS HIGH DEMAND WORKSHOPS AT THE BASS CHURCH WORKERS CONVENTION LEAD THEM TO INVITE US TO PRESENT ONE WORKSHOP VIA THE INTERNET. WE WERE ONE OF ONLY FIVE PRESENTERS OUT OF OVER 350 IN PREVIOUS YEARS. FORGIVENESS MINISTRIES DID CONTINUE TO MINISTER THROUGH COUNSELING VIA PHONE AND FACE-TO-FACE TO OVER 40 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. COUNSELING IS OFFERED WITHOUT COST.DURING THE COVID RESTRICTIONS FORGIVENESS MINISTRIES BEGAN TO CREATE VIDEO TEACHING ON THE INTERNET THROUGH YOUTUBE. WE NOW HAVE OVER 35 VIDEOS AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND ARE CONTINUING TO CREATE SEVERAL MORE EACH MONTH.OUR FACEBOOK PAGE AND NEWSLETTERS REACH TO OVER 1000 PEOPLE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE THESE PLATFORMS OF COMMUNICATION FOR OUR MINISTRY. IN ADDITION, BOTH BOOKS DEVELOPING A LIFESTYLE OF FORGIVENESS AND WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT FORGIVENESS ARE GAINING VISIBILITY THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, ON AMAZON, AND NOW THROUGH YOUTUBE. WE ALSO PUBLISHED A NEW WORKBOOK, UNWRAPPING THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS.AS ALWAYS, MOST OF OUR MINISTRY TARGETS PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING AND IN DISTRESS FOR ANY NUMBER OF A VARIETY OF REASONS: PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, BEHAVIORAL, RELATIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND MORE. HOWEVER, WE ALSO WORK TO TRAIN OTHERS TO BECOME MORE ABLE TO TEACH BIBLICAL FORGIVENESS EFFECTIVELY. FOR THIS REASON, WE SERVE OTHERS IN A TRAINING AND CONSULTING ROLE, HELPING THEM IN THEIR OWN MINISTRY OF GODS FORGIVENESS. HOW MANY AND HOW OFTEN DEPENDS UPON THEIR OWN ACTIVITIES AND NEEDS.
