Faith in Action: The S.A.L.T. Connection at Family Fest 2026

April 20, 2026 | By |

Some of our faithful volunteers recently had the joy of participating in the Real Options’ 2026 Family Fest, an event dedicated to celebrating families served over the last decade. It was a day defined by laughter, games, and the powerful spirit of community.

A Mission-Driven Partnership

The S.A.L.T. Connection’s presence at Family Fest was rooted in a deep alignment of values with our partner, Real Options. At the heart of our involvement was a shared commitment to sharing the message of Jesus and His love.

This event provided a beautiful stage to highlight our specific vision: Pouring God’s Word into women so they, in turn, can pour into others.

Why We Were There

Our volunteers spent the day engaging with community members to share the gospel and offer insight into who we serve. We were there to:

  • Foster Spiritual Growth: By pausing before the annual egg hunt to share the gospel, we aimed to help every family understand God’s love for them.
  • Build Lasting Connections: We sought to support families beyond the event by connecting them with local churches and trusted partners to build strong spiritual foundations.
  • Expand Our Community: The day was a success in outreach, with several women expressing interest in joining future S.A.L.T. programs.

Looking Ahead: Growing Our Reach

This fruitful day at Family Fest is just the beginning of our next chapter of growth. By leveraging our strong partnership with Real Options, The S.A.L.T. Connection is committed to branching out even further to serve more women throughout North Texas and beyond.

As we witness how these families have grown and thrived, we are more inspired than ever to expand our outreach, ensuring that every woman has the opportunity to build a spiritual foundation that will impact generations to come.

When God Says Go……Go!

January 17, 2025 | By |

From Fear to New Office Beginnings

In Genesis 12:1, the Lord told Abram to “Go”; “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you”. Abram obeyed and went without hesitation or questioning.

On June 13, 2022, I heard these same words from the Lord. He told me to “Go”; abandon the normal sources of personal identity and security. At that time, I had no idea what His plans were for me. I just knew that He wanted me to obey Him just as Abram did. I experienced fear, doubt and anxiety. Having worked in the corporate environment for 34 years, God was now telling me to step outside of my comfort zone and trust His guidance.

I’m sure many of you can relate to my experience. You hear God telling you to go, but fear will put you in bondage and stop you from pursuing something new that aligns with God’s purpose. “Go” is not just a passive feeling, it’s an active call to take concrete steps towards the direction God is guiding you. When God tells us to go, we need to go! We need to move forward and expect Him to provide everything we need so that we can be faithful in the small and big.

I’m now happy to say that my “going” has marked a new chapter for the S.A.L.T Connection.  God has blessed us with our first new office space so that we can now expand our ministry and continue His calling for us to “Go and make disciples.”

We cannot “go” on this journey alone.  We need your monetary support to help us cover the expenses for the rental of our office space, class materials and other operational needs.  If God is leading you, please click on the link below to give your generous donation so we can continue our great work for His Kingdom.
