A Giving Spirit That Pours for More

Over the past 10 years, The SALT Connection has been pouring into to women through the ministry of teaching, training, discipling and mentoring.  This is the way that we’ve demonstrated God’s love and compassion for others. 

And now the Lord has given to us.  We have been blessed to move into our new office space at The Hope Center, so that we can now hold classes and future events.

Giving is a central concept that involves more than just monetary donations. The Bible teaches that giving is a form of worship that reflects God’s character as a generous provider.  As we continue to pour out the little we have, we will continue to experience the more God has for us.

Deuteronomy 15:10 (NIV) states “Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.”  Remember God is pleased with those who give willingly and joyfully than those who give out of obligation. 

God has given us the opportunity to expand our ministry, and with your monetary support we can further our mission in our new office space in 2025.   Please click on the link below to give your generous donation so we can continue great work for the Kingdom of God.

Celebrating 10 Years of Pouring S.A.L.T.

Jesus identifies the disciples as “the salt of the earth”.  In Matt 5:13 (NIV) Jesus says:  You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

He’s also telling us, that as believers, we should influence the world by the way we live and act towards one another.

Living as salt and light is a continuous journey. It requires daily surrendering to God’s will, an open heart to love and serve others, and a commitment to live out our faith authentically.  It’s by living this way that The S.A.L.T Connection has made a profound impact on the lives of those around us and brought glory to God.  

Next month, we will be celebrating our 10-year anniversary. Many of you have played an important role in the impact of this ministry, and we have so much to celebrate!

Since our inception, The S.A.L.T. Connection has provided Christian education and spiritual mentoring to more than 50 women with a graduation rate of over 84%. We have also introduced many women to Christ through community events and our partnership with other non-profit organizations. Would you join us as we continue the assignment that God has given us?  To help; please click on the link below to give your generous donation so we can continue Kingdom Business that is pleasing to God.

Biblical Generosity

Learning to be generous with God naturally leads you to be that cheerful giver God loves. In 2 Corinthians 9, it reminds us that God is perfectly able to replenish whatever you give, so you can be generous on all occasions, which will result in thanksgiving to God.

God doesn’t want gifts motivated by a sense of duty or obligation. He wants us to give out of joy and compassion. The S.A.L.T. Connection ministry continues to teach God’s word and uplift the Kingdom of God. We seek other Christian-minded people, who are excited about kingdom building. We extend the opportunity to you to join us through your generous donations. Click here to make your charitable donation.

Remember God loves a cheerful giver. Our generosity should be founded in love, not duty.

Trust God

To trust in the Lord means more than believing in who He is and what He says. With everything we go through in life: pain, loss, tragedy, and grief; we must trust God. Get to know God personally to truly trust Him. Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) states “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”

The Lord is a Provider, a Protector, a Healer, and your Best Friend. Everyday rely on Him only. Pray without ceasing and know that with Him everything is possible, because God can do all things. After praying, listen to the small still voice inside of you and obediently follow the instructions given to you.

The S.A.L.T. Connection Ministry is a faith-based nonprofit organization that provides education to help Christian women learn how to study God’s Word for a victorious life. As our ministry continues to trust God to make provisions to help meet the need of the community, we welcome like-minded nonprofit organizations to join us.

New Year – New You

New beginnings are around you and within you everyday. You don’t need to wait for a clean slate. God is in the business of making all things new. His healing brings restoration beyond understanding, no matter where you come from or what you’ve done.

God calls us to let go of “former things,” so we can cling to our new identity in Christ.

Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV) states: Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

God is daily making things new in The S.A.L.T. Connection Ministry and we ask that you will partner with us in kingdom building, teaching God’s Word to others and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are thanking God in advance for “like-minded” non-profit organizations that will join us. It’s a New Year and on your journey to becoming a New You, join us and click here to make a one-time donation or setup a recurring donation.

Even In the Rain

When we put our trust in Jesus, He rains down promises of forgiveness and eternal life. Just as the rain comes and refreshes, cleanses, and makes the ground fruitful, the blessing of His Spirit brings the same qualities into our lives.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV) states “the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

No matter what you’re going through, remember God wants to rain down His blessings on you. God is with you, even in the rain.

The S.A.L.T. Connection is currently working on getting grants so that we can be a blessing to others. We would like to partner with other “like-minded” non-profit organizations. Partner with us through your generous donations and be a blessing to others, “Even in the Rain.” You can click here to make a one-time donation or setup a recurring donation.

Storms Strengthen Us

Some may have to weather a spiritual storm a little longer than others. Storms come in our lives to make us stronger; however, they will not be over until God says they are over.

When you have hope in God and focus on His promises, He will renew your strength. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) states: “But those that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

While in the midst of a spiritual storm, you must Praise, Pray, and Persevere. Remember to ask God to renew your strength and believe that those who trust in Him are recipients of His gracious strength.

God is daily strengthening The S.A.L.T. Connection and we are asking you to partner with us in ministry growth through generous donations. You can click here to make a one-time donation or setup a recurring donation.

The Harvest is Ripe

Our lives are to be ordered under God as King. The kingdom work we do is not about us or our personal dreams. We need to understand that God’s Kingdom priorities should bring wholeness. As we see God’s miraculous work in our midst, we should be ready for change and have a greater trust in Him.

Praying earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers out into His harvest is important. Luke 10:2 (KJV) states: “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.” Today, let’s be more like God by going out into the cities and villages teaching and proclaiming His Word. Let’s be intentional by praying, fasting, studying and obeying God’s Word so we can help meet the needs of others.

The harvest is ripe for The SALT Connection! Through your generous donations and support, God has allowed us to partner with New Hope Christian Fellowship of Denison, TX. Through this partnership, a new eight-week SALT Pouring Class has been implemented. These classes will give women the basic instructions of how to effectively study the bible for spiritual growth.
