MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT
January. Statistically, more people grapple with depression in January than any other month of the year. The holidays are over, the bills come due, and the second and more challenging semester of school begins. Depending on what part of the world one calls home, January is cold and drab, with little to no sunshine. It is also long. January isn’t any longer than six other months of the year, but the different variables in January can create a struggle for people.
January has always been an exciting month for me. The old has gone; the new has come. It is a new month, a new year, and a new start! At Four Corners Home for Children, January 2025 is a new day! January 2 brings the arrival of Jason Nichols, our new Director of Development. Jason hails from Wisconsin, has lived in Farmington for almost four years, and is passionate about serving God by helping people. We are excited to have him on our ministry team.
Our January monthly letter will let you read more about Jason (and other new staff). We are eager to see what the rest of 2025 brings. As we focus on the many positive aspects of this new month, let’s pray for those struggling.
