As we reflect on 2024, we are deeply grateful for your steadfast support and God’s abundant blessings on our ministry. Your generosity allows us to constantly expand our reach and impact, furthering our mission to strengthen churches in one-another care.

Thanks to your kindness and partnership, we’ve been able to take on these exciting projects:

  • IBCD Connect: Now hosting thousands of active learners, our online platform, IBCD Connect, has seen tremendous growth! Constantly updated to improve user experience, it provides pastors, counselors, and individuals with resources to lead groups and further their counseling skills.
  • Translation: We’ve translated our entire Care and Discipleship Course (CDC) and all six Observation Videos into Spanish, complete with printed handbooks. Our resources are also being freely used worldwide, including in Madagascar, Ukraine, and China.
  • CDC Update: We’re re-filming portions of the CDC course, featuring enhancements that will enrich the learning experience for those journeying through our extensive training.
  • New Observation Video – Shame: We’ve filmed a new observation video course, to be released 2025, addressing the topic of shame and featuring Dr. Jenn Chen (PsyD, MABC).
  • 2025 Summer Institute: Our annual conference in June is constantly growing! This event draws dozens of exhibitors, hundreds of attendees (both in-person & virtual), and an ever-expanding selection of key speakers across the biblical counseling community.
  • Hope + Help Podcast: We’ve celebrated the 5th anniversary of the show, produced 13 new episodes, and received nearly 70,000 total downloads these past twelve months.

Looking back on this year, we have seen God’s hand guiding us, opening doors for growth and ministry, and blessing the lives touched and resources developed—all made possible by your faithful contributions. Our year-end goal is to raise $30,000 to support these initiatives and more to come in 2025. Would you prayerfully consider giving towards this cause of equipping and encouraging the body of Christ?

Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel. May the Lord bless you as we serve Him together.
