We are only TWO DAYS away! 🎉
This Wednesday, October 7, at 7:00 PM, Mark and I will be LIVE for Since the Torch Was Passed: One Year Later, and I am getting more excited by the day.
We have been slowly letting you in on some of the things we have planned for this year. You now know our Gala theme, Boots, Babies & Big Dreams, and today we’re sharing our first-ever week-long Open House.
And believe me, we still have more to share.
ONE MORE REASON TO JOIN US WEDNESDAY NIGHT! 🎉
As a special thank-you for joining us for the webcast, everyone who registers and watches with us will have a chance to win a really fun evening:
The Southwest Coalition team will come to your home (in El Paso or Las Cruces) and prepare a five-course dinner for you and eight of your guests!
And knowing our team, it will be more than dinner. There will be plenty of laughter, stories from the sidewalk, Guiding Star, Lily Pad, and probably a few behind-the-scenes moments you would never hear anywhere else.
We’ll draw the winner at the end of the webcast, so make sure you register and stay with us!
But this webcast is about much more than announcements. I want you to see what God is doing through Southwest Coalition and understand what your prayers and financial support are making possible.
OUR FIRST-EVER WEEK-LONG OPEN HOUSE! 🎉
For the first time ever, Southwest Coalition is opening our doors for an entire week.
Because our offices are normally full of clients and patients coming and going, it can be difficult to give our supporters a real tour and show you everything God has made possible through your generosity.
So when we talked with the team about setting aside special evenings after client and patient hours, where we could simply welcome you in and show off the beautiful spaces God has provided through our generous supporters, everyone was genuinely excited.
Come meet the people doing this work, walk through our offices, ask questions, and see firsthand what your support is making possible.
Thursday, October 8
Las Cruces Office
Friday, October 9
Her Care Connection
While you’re there, take time to visit our chapel.
Monday, October 12
Guiding Star Southwest + Lily Pad Maternity Home
Tuesday, October 13
Guiding Star Southwest + Lily Pad Maternity Home
Because Guiding Star and Lily Pad are our largest locations, we are offering two evenings to give you plenty of opportunity to visit both.
And of course, we had to make it fun!
To get started, simply pick up your SWC Passport Card on Thursday, October 8, at the Las Cruces Office and have it stamped at each location.
Once you complete all four stops, you’ll receive your beautiful collectible 2026 Southwest Coalition pin. You’ll also be entered to win a beautiful painting as a special keepsake from our first-ever week-long Open House.
Four offices. Four stamps. Your collectible pin, plus a chance to win a beautiful painting!
Behind every mother we serve, every baby we welcome, every ministry we grow, and every new door God opens are people who make this work possible.
That’s why fundraising matters.
It allows us to keep saying yes when God places another mother, another baby, another family, or another opportunity before us.
TODAY’S CHALLENGE
Think of 10 people and send them this link today:
Simply tell them, “Watch this with me Wednesday night.”
You never know who God may be waiting for you to invite.
We cannot wait to welcome you during our Open House, and we cannot wait to see you Wednesday night!
For Life. For Love. For Both.
Gratefully in Christ,
Jessica Sifuentes
President & CEO
Southwest Coalition, Inc.
Devotional for Day 13
Intention: For every person who gives of their time, talents, prayers, and resources to make this work possible.
Scripture: “As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another.” — 1 Peter 4:10
Reflection: God does so much through people who simply make themselves available to Him. Some pray, some give, some serve, and some invite others to become part of the mission. Together, those individual acts of generosity allow something much greater to grow.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for every person who answers Your call to serve. Bless those who pray, give, volunteer, and sacrifice for others. Help us use the gifts You have given us generously and faithfully. Amen.
Challenge: Challenge. Pray Psalm 51 for Dr. Theard.
