A Monthly Impact Message from EWTN to Remind You Just How Much Your Faithful Support Matters…

YOUR IMPACT
You Help People Hear God’s Call

A young couple prayed for a miracle.

For years, they had suffered with infertility and miscarriages, but through it all, they kept their faith. They continually pleaded to God, asking Him to give them a child they so desperately wanted.

The husband, Greg, was traveling for work in Saint Augustine, Florida. When he was there, he regularly stopped by the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche to ask for a miracle.

In the midst of these struggles, he happened to watch an episode of Chris Stefanick’s EWTN program, Real Life Catholic, which was coincidentally set in Saint Augustine. Greg said,

When the girl in the episode mentioned that her parents’ prayers were answered in the form of an adopted girl, it opened my heart, and I began to think about God answering my prayers in the form of adoption. Her story was so tremendously touching, and she radiated such joy.

After watching that episode, Greg felt that God was calling them in that direction. His wife wholeheartedly agreed, and now they are in the process of adopting a child.

It is because of you and God’s guiding hand that stories like this happen. This mission would not be here without your regular prayers and support. You are reminding the world of God’s love.

When you give to EWTN, you are continuing Mother's mission to provide a platform for apostolates at no charge. You are sharing the Gospel and helping to proclaim the Eternal Word—along with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Because of this, hundreds of leading Catholic experts over the years, like Chris Stefanick, Fr. Leo Patalinghug, and Jason and Crystalina Evert, have opportunities to share the faith through EWTN.

St. Paul exhorts Christians to “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). We are thankful that you are helping to build the faith and share the glorious Gospel message with the world.
