Nadia Gordynsky

Ukraine native, Christian artist creates nonprofit serving women, children on the frontlines of Ukraine

Leave a reply

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania – Ukraine native Nadia Gordynsky is using her personal tragedy and struggles to make a real difference in this world. Gordynsky created and founded Save A Life International, a nonprofit organization serving women and children in Ukraine.

A Pro-Life 501(c)3 agency that supports women in crisis pregnancy, Save A Life International focuses on saving lives by providing women with education about making the choice of life in a crisis pregnancy situation, and giving hope to women without hope.

Gordynsky, a recognized Christian artist and staunch advocate for women and children, says that it was only through personal struggle that she was able to answer God’s calling in her life and fulfill her purpose to help pregnant women in crisis.

In 2005, Gordynsky lost a child after 18 hours of labor. While that tragic event impacted her greatly, Gordynsky said that she always trusted in God’s plan for her life. According to Gordynsky, “Through my heartbreak over the loss of my son, God was able to reveal to me the sanctity of life, and what would become my purpose.”

Just months after the loss of her child, Gordynsky was invited to appear at a Pro Life rally in Ukraine, where she learned that abortion was regarded as a popular method of contraception and that millions of Ukrainian babies were being aborted each year. Gordynsky stated, “I was completely unaware of the plight of the unborn in Ukraine. I felt called to defend life.”

In 2015 Gordynsky answered the calling that had tugged on her heart and started Save A Life International. With a mission to support women in crisis pregnancy, the organization focuses on providing crisis pregnancy support, violence and domestic abuse assistance, humanitarian aid for mothers and children, and educational programming.

Headquartered in Philadelphia, Save a Life International offers support through its nine Life Centers, which are located in Chernivtsi, Ukraine; Gdynia, Poland; Khmelnytsky, Ukraine; Lviv, Ukraine; Odessa, Ukraine; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Pokrovsk, Ukraine; Poltava, Ukraine; and Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. Since its inception in 2015, the organization has helped nearly 2000 women.

The organization’s outreach has extended to a broad cross-section of women in need: from sex slavery survivors to grieving women grappling with the loss of a child through miscarriage or abortion, to victims of violence and abuse, to young moms who need guidance and financial support, and others facing crisis.

Gordynsky said that at the heart of Save A Life International’s work is a steadfast desire to provide nonjudgmental support: “It is vitally important that we meet women where they are, no matter the circumstances. In order to save a life, we must do so with compassion, love and kindness. We offer support without judgement.”

While the organization continues to focus on its crucial outreach to women in crisis, the recent war in Ukraine has demanded the organization expand on the scope of its outreach: at present, all of the Save a Life International Life Centers have incorporated refugee assistance and humanitarian aid projects as primary objectives.

Save a Life International (www.savealifeintl.org) is a pro-life 501(c)3 nonprofit headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Jessica Van Roekel’s debut book, Reframing Rejection: How Looking through a Different Lens Changes Everything maintains best new release status.

Jessica wrote Reframing Rejection to equip and empower those who’ve struggled to overcome rejection.

“When I was younger, I thought it was my job to make sure everyone liked me. As a professional counselor of 20 years, I see so many clients struggle with the same desire believing it is what “good Christian’s do.” I love that in Reframing Rejection, Jessica Van Roekel provides practical biblical tools to help us manage the reality we all face and freedom from human rejection we all long for.”

Michelle Nietert, M.A., LPC-S

Author of Loved and Cherished and Make Up Your Mind

YourMentalHealthCoach.com

When Jessica faced multiple rejections in her life, she struggled to not let them overwhelm her—until she started viewing rejection, and how to deal with rejection, through a new lens. She’s identified four new lenses to reframe rejection and to break unhealthy cycles, like constant people pleasing or saying you’re sorry over and over. In this spiritual growth self-help book, learn to engage with God through the “Reflect,” “Reframe,” and “Renew” portions of each chapter.

Jessica Van Roekel’s Reframing Rejection is available to download for free on Amazon through Saturday, January 28, 2023. Reframing Rejection debuted to rave reviews! Here’s what some of the reviewers have said:

5 Stars – Practical help with lifelong rejection

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2023

Author, Jessica Van Roekel, takes you on a journey of identifying rejection and the damage done to a person’s life and then brings you along to resolving hurtful rejection. Her thoughtful questions at the end of each chapter makes you reflect and evaluate how rejection has affected your life and encourages you to view the situations reflected through God’s word. What is the truth? Christ is sufficient.

5 Stars – We don’t have to fear rejection, we can reframe it and be free!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023

No one wants to be rejected, but maybe we don’t have to give our fear of rejection the power it has over our energy, motivation, and decisions. In REFRAMING REJECTION, Jessica Van Roekel provides language and new lenses through which to see rejection, stripping it of its power over us. I highly recommend this book to those who feel paralyzed by potential rejection. There is another way.

Karen Black Mercer presents her best-selling pro-life memoir Only If God Says So!: Finding the Courage to Protect Life in a Pro-Choice World

Karen wrote Only If God Says So! to encourage her readers to believe that what God has done for her (calling her to a worthy cause and a ministry that serves Him), He can do for them.

At the risk of being beaten and jailed, Karen Black Mercer places herself between expectant women and abortionists, determined to fight for the unborn. This compelling Christian memoir of a once-timid woman’s call to march into the physical and spiritual battle against abortion presents an unflinching firsthand account of one of our country’s darkest realities. As her persistent stand for righteousness results in numerous imprisonments and death threats, Karen’s battle cry becomes, “Only if God says so!” Through it all, the Lord’s great love, power, and faithfulness are clearly demonstrated in Karen’s life. Today, as the Dobbs case comes continually under fire, Only If God Says So! is particularly timely Christian inspiration.

Karen Mercer Black’s Only If God Says So! is available to download for free on Amazon through Saturday, January 28, 2023. Only If God Says So! continues to receive rave reviews! Here’s what some of the reviewers have said:

An incredible journey from fearful timidity to courageous faith

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2023

Karen’s memoir is an impressive journey and inspiration on how to overcome fear in the most desperate of circumstances. Guided by the Spirit-given encouragement “Only if God says so!”, she was empowered to face painful separation from her family, arrests, prison, hostile opponents, and even death threats by the mafia as she took an often-solitary stance to love on women and their unborn children, giving them hope for life. A must-read!

5 Stars

Hero of the unborn

This book is a story of determination and obedience in the face of extreme opposition. It is about how God uses an unlikely person who is willing to “die to self” to carry out His purposes to save the lives of thousands of babies. This is the best book I have read in a very long time. You will not want to put it down!

In Reframing Rejection, author Jessica Van Roekel brings us along on her journey as God reveals how he wants her to deal with inevitable and painful rejection. We all experience rejection, and we generally deal with it in unhealthy ways.

from shattered to restored

New Redemption Press release offers guidance for recovering from mental health challenges

Leave a reply

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – With so many Americans struggling with mental health challenges—more than 50 percent will be diagnosed at some point in their life, one in five in any given year*—a nationally recognized recovery leader has stepped up to the plate. Nanette Larson’s Restoration Guide provides recovery principles and practical strategies for full restoration.

This Restoration Guide is a companion book to her memoir, From Shattered to Restored: Recovering Hope, Discovering Purpose, which tells Nanette’s dramatic story of hopelessness and despair, struggling through years of mental illness, and how she attained freedom and full recovery through hard work and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Each chapter of the Restoration Guide mirrors its respective chapter in the memoir, utilizing study questions, points for reflection, prayers, pertinent Scripture, and more.

Through the teaching and interactive prompts, the reader will learn how to apply four essential principles of restoration that are continuously woven throughout the journey of recovery and discovery:

  1. Abide in Christ.
  2. Cast down every high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God.
  3. Renew your mind through the Word of God.
  4. Yield to the Holy Spirit.

The guide is designed for small groups or individuals.

“Recovering from and living beyond mental health challenges is possible for anyone who is willing to put in the work,” Nanette says. “In my memoir, I share how God set me free. In the Restoration Guide, you are given the opportunity to allow God to do the healing work in your heart.”

The Restoration Guide encourages readers to position their hearts for the Holy Spirit to do the real work of recovery and discovery.

I don’t read many books. Mainly because I lose interest in them pretty quickly. I couldn’t put this book down. I paced the floor and burned through this book in two sessions as it moved from one miraculous encounter to the next. In the end it left me jealous. Jealous to have Christ in my life in such a simple and tangible way that His sovereignty becomes apparent in the smallest of tasks. Jealous to be able to stay the course no matter the circumstances. I highly recommend this book and am sure that I will be reading it again for the inspiration it provides.

New Redemption Press release sheds light on ways to reach homeless youth

Leave a reply

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – Love is sorely missing in our culture and in society. On any given night, 41,000 teens experience homelessness. Fifty percent of teens have entered the juvenile justice system, and 69 percent report experiencing mental health issues.*

While many factors play into these few statistics from the National Conference of State Legislators, few towns are fully equipped to handle the plethora of homeless youth each year.

Author Joann Wittler grew up with a policeman father, but the tragedies on the streets did not reach Joann’s heart until she was worshiping in church one Sunday morning. “I heard God’s voice, crystal clear, say, ‘You will be the mother to many.’” At fifty-three years old, Wittler felt certain she was too old to answer God’s call, but he had a plan. Part personal story and part ministry memoir, A Woman’s Journey to Becoming Mother 2 Many describes the depths of tenacity, love, and faith Joann and her husband, Steve, navigated to reach the homeless youth in their community near Seattle, Washington.

When asked why she wrote the book, Wittler replied, “I wanted people to see that they could be what God wants them to be. Age is just a number—God can use anyone.” While following Wittler’s saga of learning how to set up a nonprofit, being turned down by the city council multiple times, loving society’s forgotten population, readers will find God’s love and learn they matter to our heavenly father.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Joann Wittler loves sunshine but lives in the least sunny part of Washington State. A native of Seattle, Joann grew up in Tacoma and Puyallup, where she met her husband, Steve. They have a blended family, which has taught them the power of unconditional love, especially when raising teenagers. This patience served its purpose when they started Mother 2 Many, a nonprofit outreach for homeless teens, in January 2013. She and her husband travel to local skateparks in their sunshine-yellow, food-laden truck and trailer, to share a ray of hope with the youth. Visit www.mother2many.org for more information.

  2. Your memoir shows how you and your husband, Steve, started your nonprofit, but how did it all come together?

  4. It’s awesome that your favorite color is yellow, and that you drive a bus with a big sun on it. Explain how all that happened, and the significance of it.
  5. Ministering to those who feel hopeless, unloved, and forgotten is what your nonprofit, Mother 2 Many, is all about. How do you all stay in business?
  6. Where can people find you if they want to invest or give to Mother 2 Many?

New Redemption Press release provides practical Bible resource and comprehensive overview of New Testament

Leave a reply

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – According to a Lifeway Research study, more than half of Americans have read little or none of the Bible, and for those who have read Scriptures, less than a quarter have a systematic plan for daily Bible reading.*

“Most Americans don’t know firsthand the overall story of the Bible—because they rarely pick it up,” said Scott McConnell, Lifeway’s executive director. “Even among worship attendees, less than half read the Bible daily. The only time most Americans hear from the Bible is when someone else is reading it.”**

When Robert Hedenstrom came to Christ at age seventeen, he quickly gave up on his first attempts to read the Bible. “When I initially started reading the Bible, it was a jumble of words like ‘justification,’ ‘righteousness,’ and ‘propitiation,’ interspersed with a few sentences and passages that made some sense but that generally left me frustrated,” Hedenstrom said.

Having since earned his master’s in divinity, Hedenstrom now delivers Everlasting Kingdom: Faith, Hope, and Love in Christ from the Gospels to Revelation (Redemption Press) to help others avoid the confusion and frustration that waylaid his own journey with the Savior. “I wrote my book to provide a clear and understandable book about the Bible, especially the New Testament, while presenting a more inspirational than academic view of Scripture.”

Written as a historical narrative and intended as a practical resource for new Bible readers as well as seasoned Christians, Everlasting Kingdom provides a brief synopsis of the Old Testament, a comprehensive and straightforward overview of each of the New Testament’s twenty-seven books, clear and understandable commentary, and insight into historical and cultural contexts.

“Ultimately, my goal is for readers to experience the gospel’s transforming effect,” Hedenstrom said. “Jesus reveals himself through his Word, so by increasing our knowledge and understanding of Scripture, we can better know and love him.”

With a bachelor’s in religion from Gustavus Adolphus College and a master’s in divinity from Fuller Seminary, he is passionate about the Bible as the infallible Word of God.

How To Be A Powerful Joyful and Purposeful Christian

New Redemption Press memoir chronicles woman’s testimony and strategies for living with joy, purpose and power

Leave a reply

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – The majority of American adults regularly think about how to find meaning and purpose in life. In a recent Lifeway study, 57 percent of adults said they wonder at least monthly on the topic.*

Many have weighed in on the purpose of life. The late, great evangelist Billy Graham said, “The born-again Christian sees life not as a blurred, confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful.”**

Author Taiye Jeremiah believes a relationship with Jesus is the key to success in life. “God created each of us for a purpose,” Jeremiah says. “When we have a personal relationship with Him, He lives in us and provides the awesome power of the Holy Spirit to discover and live a life of purpose and fulfill His plan for our lives.”

Taiye Jeremiah shares her heartfelt testimony and her path to a deeper relationship with Christ in her new book, How to Be a Powerful, Joyful, and Purposeful Christian. Jeremiah weaves her life story and challenges—including education and workplace struggles, addiction, jealousy, unforgiveness, dating, and relationship issues—with strategies for nourishing her relationship with God and living out His will.

Passionate about the way God has worked in her life and how her relationship with Him has developed, Jeremiah wrote How to Be a Powerful, Joyful, and Purposeful Christian to encourage readers with her story and to provide practical takeaways for growing in their spiritual walk and for living out His will. “I wanted to write this book to show others that our relationship with Jesus is meant to be enjoyable,” she said. “Christianity is not about rules and regulations. It’s about knowing God personally and living with the amazing power, joy, and purpose only He can provide.”

Men and women wanting to grow in their faith will especially enjoy How to Be a Powerful, Joyful, and Purposeful Christian. Each chapter concludes with insightful questions for group discussion or personal reflection.

New Author Chronicles God’s Faithfulness Through Health, Family, and Career Challenges

Leave a reply

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – CARY, NC January 3, 2023 – Despite the devastation of bankruptcy and being diagnosed with a crippling disease, author Jeanie Williams powerfully inspires readers with heartfelt honesty and joy as she shares how these challenges led her to deepen her faith in Jesus, build a successful business and bring hope to thousands of people.

The remarkable story of Jeanie Williams is filled with the joys of a loving family, as well as loving friends and a fulfilling business venture. But beneath that story lies a foundation of struggle and challenge – experiences that God has used to forge Jeanie’s character and create a legacy that has inspired her family and will continue to inspire many more. A Determined Hope is the amazing true story of God’s grace in the life of one woman.

“The power of faith can do endless wonderful things in a person’s life. The life of Jeanie Williams is a great example of that. In A Determined Hope, Jeanie shares her life story about walking through adversity and triumph to find God’s love and peace at the other end. With her husband Lee at her side, Jeanie has spent her life, much as Jesus did, in service to others. Her remarkable story of faith is inspiring and heartfelt. I have read her story several times and find more value in it every time I sit down with it.” – Mike Quayle

A Determined Hope will inspire and challenge readers while giving hope that with Jesus, no challenge of life is insurmountable.

“I long for this book to be not only a legacy for my children and grandchildren, but also an inspiration to them and to all who would read it. God desires to do more for us than we can imagine. His purpose for us is to develop the character of His Son in us (Romans 8:29), and in doing so inspire others to seek Him. That is a process that takes a lifetime.” – Jeanie Williams

A Determined Hope is available from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQLNDY5C?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_sem_2S546N6FZ24NFBXRR8Y6.
