Thank you so much for your generous gift to our family and ministry. For the past 35 years, God has faithfully provided for our needs through incredible ministry partners like you—and I’m deeply grateful.

In 2007, though I admittedly felt very hesitant and nervous, I sensed God prompting me to step out in faith and begin a neighborhood Bible study. With sweaty palms and a heart full of prayer, I handed out flyers and trusted Him to move—and He did. What began as a simple act of obedience has grown into something lasting. Neighborhood ministry continues to this day, with lives transformed and families forever changed. 

Along the way, I teamed up with my Cru staff mentor, Debbie McGoldrick, to launch a website that could equip others to start their own neighborhood Bible studies. In 2010, nbs2go.com (Neighbors Bible Study 2GO) was born and continues to thrive today. I serve on the leadership team, help guide overall direction, and contribute as a writer. Each year, the website reaches more than 16,000 visitors and has been seen in over 175 countries of the world. Our unique Bible studies are available in 55 languages. 

In 2020, we also launched a partnership with the YouVersion Bible App. This influential app holds 132 of our Bible plans in 44 languages. Today, more than 565,000 people subscribe to NBS2GO reading plans around the world—only God could do this.

In 2016, the Lord called Drew home after we served side by side in ministry for 27 years. By God’s immense grace and strength, I continue the work He has called me to. And through the faithful support of partners like you, it is my joy to serve with NBS2GO.

With humble appreciation,

Joan
