At Key Life, we really do believe that God is in control, even in the most difficult circumstances. Well, honestly, sometimes we forget that He's in control and we panic, but most of the time we really do believe that God is in control. That's why you seldom hear us make a big deal about giving to the ministry.

However, on rare occasions, we do have to let you know when Key Life really needs your help. This is one of those times. Please don't feel pressured or obligated to give. We're sensitive to the fact that you too may be facing a tough time financially. But if you can give, please pray about it. Every gift of any amount will go a long way toward helping this unique ministry of God's grace make a difference in a whole lot of lives.
