| Special Prayer Request:
Women at the Well Video Production
With the new year come new strategies on how we can fulfill our ministry’s mission – helping women embrace lifestyles of sexual integrity, sexual intimacy, and intimacy with Christ. We attempt to fulfill this mission primarily through:
- providing print, audio, and electronic books
- speaking at churches and conferences across the world, and
- coaching individuals through seasons of sexual and emotional healing.
Sometimes, however, there are women who fall through the cracks. Perhaps she’s not a reader, or a book alone simply can’t take her to the depths she needs to go in order to really get a grip on her issues. But ongoing counseling or life coaching can be cost-prohibitive to many women, especially the college student, single mom, etc. I’ve often asked the Lord what more we can do to meet those needs.
Over the past year, several young women have been living together here at Cross Creek, our headquarters in Lindale, Texas, seeking training and experience in doing similar kinds of ministry. It’s through this residential internship program that God has sparked the idea for our next big ministry project – producing a Women at the Well video series.
 Using the first material I ever developed on the subject of sexual and emotional integrity (long before the Every Woman’s Battle opportunity knocked on my door), we’ll take a live audience of women through a 12-week “growth group” experience, capture it on video, and make it available to women who need more than just a book, but who can’t afford 12 weeks of individual coaching.
This is a lofty goal for a bunch of amateur gals who simply want to serve the Lord and minister to other women, so we NEED a LOT of prayer for this project! Would you please pray for the 10-12 women who’ll be personally involved in the project, specifically:
- the growth group participants, who range in ages from early twenties to mid-forties
- the set designers & the videographers
- the translators (yes, we hope to produce a version with Spanish subtitles!)
- for me as I lead this whole experience!
Taping begins in late January and runs through early May. Hopefully by summertime we’ll be announcing the availability of this powerful new ministry resource! Please also pray that women who are in need of healing in this area will somehow learn about this video series and be positively impacted by it!
If you’d like to partner with us financially in producing this series, click below to donate.
Any dollar amount will greatly help us offset the many expenses involved with such a big project.
With sincere thanks for your prayers and partnership in ministry,
Shannon |

| Look at What’s NEW with…
BUILDING LEADERS, AUTHORS, SPEAKERS & TEACHERS
We’re ecstatic over the response of many aspiring writers and speakers from all over the world who’ve chosen to invest in their own success by participating in our B.L.A.S.T. online mentorship program! Books are being birthed, speaking platforms are being enlarged, and believers are developing the courage and confidence to shout their God-given messages from the mountaintops!
We’re about to launch another 12-month class beginning March 15. But before we do, we want to announce two NEW developments…
First, we deeply desire to “sow seeds” into the ministries of others, so for both spring & fall 2011 classes, we’re offering a 50% scholarship to Christian missionaries. You do not have to be stationed in a third-world country to qualify, but merely work full-time for a non-profit Christian organization and be responsible for raising your own financial support. If you fit that category, click here to download information on how to apply for this scholarship.
Second, several people have asked, “Is it possible to just watch the videos at my own pace without being involved in a monthly small group?” There is NOW! While we believe you’ll get the MOST out of fully participating in the BLAST class along with an assigned small group, we understand that not everyone is in a position to commit to “the whole shebang.” Some want to go at their own pace, watching all of the videos kamikaze style (perhaps over a 12-week period of time instead of over 12 months). There are others who want to take it s-l-o-w, perhaps watching only one video each quarter and really diving into each assigned book in between videos. If you’re someone who wants to go at your own pace “Lone Ranger” style, you can “audit” the BLAST class videos rather than being a full class participant.
To learn how auditing the class differs from fully participating, Click here for our Spring 2011 BLAST Information Brochure.
Again, we launch our next B.L.A.S.T. Class on March 15th, with a registration deadline of February 15th. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to save 10% by submitting your B.L.A.S.T. application prior to the January 30 Early-Bird deadline! |

I’m a man who is currently reading “Every Woman’s Battle.” I would like you to know it is helping me both in my own struggle for sexual purity, as well as in the new Godly vision for my sexuality that He has been laying on my heart. It’s helping me to see more than body parts, and its helping me understand much better the advice I’ve received from sisters in Christ to just start with friendship. At first it didn’t even compute in my brain not to let her know I’m attracted to her when I first meet her (whoever “her” might be). Now it’s starting to make sense! Thank you! |
“Sheri” writes:
A friend recently gave me your book, Completely His: Loving Jesus Without Limits. As I’ve read, God’s presence has been overwhelming, and I’ve found myself sobbing uncontrollably at times. There is such an anointing on that book. As I continue on with the next devotional in the series, Completely Loved, I’m overjoyed about what is to come. Thank you for sharing your experience, your transparency and your love for God. I’m grateful for the many lives God has impacted through you! |

Shannon’s response:
It’s always great to hear from men who are reading the Every Woman’s Battle books, or women who are reading the Every Man’s Battle books! Kudos to you, Jason, for opening your mind to learning all you can about how to have the healthiest relationships possible! |
Shannon’s response:
Sheri, give your friend a big hug from me and tell her THANK YOU for helping us spread the word about how to joyfully embrace your role as the beloved bride of Christ! I’m delighted to hear that you’ve discovered that joy for yourself! Now which friend will YOU pass the book onto?  ) |
If God’s doing something in your life, marriage, family, or ministry as a result of reading one of Shannon’s books, let us know so we can praise God with you!
