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.

Listen For God’s Voice

Most people want to hear God’s voice when they are facing a decision or when life has beaten them down.  The primary way God speaks to us is through His revealed and written word.  Proverbs 3:6 (NLT) states “Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take”. 

Pray and ask God for wisdom then wait patiently to hear His voice.  Be intentional about reading His word, pray without ceasing and most importantly be quiet and listen for His voice, not your own.  When you hear God’s voice respond eagerly and obey Him. 

The S.A.L.T Connection Ministry teaches women that the primary way to hear God’s voice is through reading, studying, `and applying His Word.  Our ministry extends the opportunity for you to partner with us to help pour God’s Word into others.  Please donate by clicking on the donate button below.

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.

You Can’t Beat God’s Giving

If God were to ask you today, “what can I do for you?”; what would be your response? Would you tell God to give you money? Would you tell Him to give you that man or woman (a spouse)? I believe many of us have a wish list of things that we really want to come true in our life. Ultimately, all of us want to simply live a happy and joyful life, and we have been taught that some of these wants bring about happiness and joy.

King Solomon was asked by God (1 Kings 3:5), “what shall I give you?” Solomon’s response was “ give to your servant an understanding heart”. Many of us would have asked out of want; which is what the world provides.

Why do we seek from the Lord what the world, or even man, can provide? We go out and work for money and then spend the money that we worked for. All we end up doing is swapping money around with each other. We should look for God to do the impossible in our lives. We should want God’s giving; because He has something better for us; something that this world or man can’t offer.

The Lord tells us that His thoughts and ways are not like our thoughts or ways because He is God. Therefore, what God can give us is greater than what we can even fathom.

Peter said (1 Peter 5:6), “humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God.” When you ask the question, “how can I receive what God has for me?” this is your answer: we must humble ourselves, take off pride, submit ourselves to the Lord, and then devote ourselves to God.

The holiday season is not the only time that people need help. Giving should be done daily in our Christian journey.

The S.A.L.T. Connection has decided to bless others who are in need and your support is greatly appreciated. You can click here to make either a one-time donation or setup a recurring donation.

Remember, God’s giving can’t be beat no matter how you try. Please join us in blessing others during this joyous season!

Distractions

In life we will encounter storms that will cause us to feel like we are sinking and there’s no hope. Things are falling apart probably because we are doing something contrary to God’s Will.

Distractions can cause you to doubt and not believe. What we need during this crucial time is to recharge and refocus on the Word of God. It is God who seeks us and when He corrects, He directs us.

To avoid distractions, we must remind ourselves what God says in Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV): “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

In your prayers, ask God to help you overcome every power of distraction in your way and to destroy them in the Name of Jesus. Today minimize the noise around you and focus totally on God. Don’t allow distractions to shift your attention from Him.

The S.A.L.T. Connection ministry keeps women focused on God through the reading, studying and application of His Word. Staying close and connected to God enables our ministry to teach and pour into others. Your donations help us to be Great Disciples of God. We ask you to take this opportunity to pour into our mission and vision, so that we can continue the work God has called us to do.
