“When I saw your website it was like coming home.”

 As we embrace the joys
and challenges this new year,
I send a special thank you!

 Your friendship, your affirmation of TNN, your awareness of why this mission matters so much in our culture and world today … these are the gifts for which I am most grateful. 

I hope that you will think of our client, Chris, as your friend – someone whose life you have already touched in a meaningful way through your prayers and support.  As the song says so well and your gift has put into practice,

 “Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.”

 With gratitude,

Mary

Wishing you a

filled with many blessings.

Merry Christmas!

 from Mary

 and all your friends at

The Nurturing Network

This Christmas as you count your blessings

will you consider becoming one?

 Your gift today will help 

to provide "room at the inn" 

for a mother and child 

in need of our love and support.

Each day offers many reasons to be grateful – especially when the gift of nurturing comes full circle.

Many women whom TNN has supported remain active volunteers and serve other mothers as Inspirational Counselors.

Joy is just one of these maternal profiles in courage.  We invite you to read her story and discover encouragement for your own journey.

The Nurturing Network’s Board of Director’s is happy to announce an exciting new opportunity for TNN. The Board has unanimously approved a well-earned sabbatical year for TNN’s Founder and President, Mary Cunningham Agee.

 After nearly 30 years of managing TNN’s daily operations and personally counseling thousands of women in crisis, Mary has accepted this recommendation to place a priority on the educational component of TNN’s mission during the next twelve months.  Specifically, her focus will be the writing of a book that will capture the very essence of what has made TNN such a healing force in our culture.  TNN’s Board of Directors looks forward to the publication of this best-selling author’s book noting that she is uniquely qualified to communicate a message of compassion and hope.

“The absence of real choice is of particular concern because it is known that the single most significant influence on both the speed and degree of recovery from any life crisis is a person’s ability to regain control over one’s life.  Thank you for all that you are doing to bring hope and healing to those who need this gift the most.”

“This last year has been full of learning experiences, some joyful, some filled with sorrow.  My son is doing extremely well with his family, and I have found a job.  Thank you so much for your kindness, your respect, your support, and your prayers for me.”

The Gifts …

    the Friends who gave them Hope

Every person who has suffered loss

has faced the same choice:

Surrender to the darkness

         or refuse resentment,

              reject distrust,

                  overcome despair.

Each Member of the Nurturing Network

has made this Journey.

Their lives reflect the joy, peace, and wisdom

of having passed through the Gateway

to Hope and Healing.

Our arms are outstretched,

our hands open wide

beckoning the wounded to join us

on the other side.

There await the Gifts of

          Unconditional love 

               Patient kindness

                    Empowering generosity

                         Practical compassion

                              Enduring hope.

                               – Mary Cunningham Agee

“I can’t afford to make a financial gift to TNN right now but I would like the world to know what a wonderful program you run. The practical assistance that you provide really made a difference for me. Not only did the residential and employment help, but also just being able to talk to your caring staff helped enormously! Thank you so much for helping me to see God’s blessings when I was not feeling the fullness of His love. If I can ever help someone else in a similar situation, please ask.”

Love, Kara”
