On March 1, 2025 — Christ Cares for You Ministries, Inc. met with Dreamsteerer Academy founder and facilitator, Beverly Brown, to support our work with Women to develop their full potential and authenticity, and to work in overcoming the challenges of homelessness in Phoenix, AZ and the surrounding areas.

Throughout 2024 and currently our committed ASU college student volunteer, Juliana, has continued to serve us with her talent for newsletter creation, flyer creation, artistic ability, and brainstorming with new ideas.

==============================================================
Please find below a list of Goals for 2025, for you to heartfully think about how you can support to help us achieve them!!!!. These goals are vital for the success of our women, and our general population in the areas we serve in Phoenix, AZ, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Scottsdale, and Apache Junction as well as other areas upon request.
These goals are just the beginning of a great endeavor to maximize the potential of Christ Cares for You Ministries, Inc. to serve the communities, in ways that are so needed in these challenging times, and always for so many and to partner with others with similar goals. There is SUCH a great need, and we can help one person and family at a time!!!!
Our goal of providing WORKSHOPS! Some are FREE, but our organization provides the materials for the workshops, i.e. workbooks, art supplies, notebooks, pens, folders, files and such. We certainly would be blessed to receive support for these supplies.
TITLES AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME
The Self-Esteem Workshop
The Self Confidence Workshop

The Conquer Your Fears Workshop

The Body Keeps the Score Workshop
THE following Workshops were specifically designed by Christ Cares for You Ministries Inc. to assist families together in coming to understand each other and live in harmony. These workshops currently do have a cost of between $90.00 to $250.00 per, but our goal is to provide them for FREE to the families who are interested in them. We need your support in order to do this!
1) The Arno Profile Temperament Inventory, which is a study on each individual who engages, and is comprised by a questionnaire each individual answers, explaining in great detail the characters that make up each person’s temperament. This information greatly impacts understanding, and how each person uniquely responds to the challenges of society, emotions, thoughts, and family dynamics. (you can find a more comprehensive description on our website provided herewith).
2) Light Bar Work- which consists of a tool that when working with individuals who have suffered trauma and are working on healing will keep the conscious mind distracted. Our logical mind is where our psychological defenses are stored, and where we hold blockages. While using this tool, we free our minds to allow us to receive the healing we are seeking, and in a much shorter time frame than traditional “talk therapy”. (you can find a more comprehensive description on our website provided herewith).
3) Healthy Communication Workshop and the What About Anger Workshop! These also come with a cost but are so vital for the community at large!!!!
4) Individual Counseling to ALL who contact us, and Family Counseling too!!
Finally, I want to share about the newest addition to the Christ Cares for You Ministries, Inc. list of dreamers we want to support! This heartfelt ministry was started by a woman who lived in the south and wanted to share with the families and children who were not so fortunate. She then took that ministry to Phoenix, AZ. Here is her short testimony:
OUR FAMILY TOY GIVE AWAY
“This began as a desire in my heart to help children in my hometown neighborhood, that were less fortunate. In 2021 I started collecting toys, etc. throughout the year and in December I would ship them to Tennessee and my family and I would pass out flyers inviting the neighborhood people to come and receive the FREE toys. We did this for 2 years – 2021 and 2022 – in Tennessee.
In 2023 and 2024 I decided to help children in the Phoenix area., who were less fortunate. We again passed out flyers in the neighborhood we chose to help.
We set up tables according to the ages of the children so the toys would be appropriately available according to age, separated for boys and girls. We gave away toys, bikes, scooters, baby carriages, go carts, doll houses, and much more. We provided hot dogs, chips, juice and candy for the children. We gave away blankets and food boxes, and other giveaways as prizes. It was so amazing to see the smiles on the children’s faces!!!!
It is my desire to continue this year and for many years to come. I have already started purchasing the toys!!!!!”
============================================================
ALONG with these goals, we also continue to plan our focused search for funding for large-scale projects such as: Providing free counseling for 60 plus social service agencies, nonprofit agencies, rehab centers, churches, and hospitals; and providing free art workshops as well as other more lengthy and complex workshops.
A most pressing goal and vision and goal for the year 2025 is also to raise $165,000.00 which will be allocated for the purchase of land to build a structure which will house the homeless in the Phoenix area. Part of this funding will be used to support other specific Nonprofits who already have housing or housing projects underway, which will help broaden and continue their work.
=====================================================================
In closing, I want to thank you again and again for your continued support!!! We are so honored that you care for the work we are doing here, and we could not do any of it without your help and support.Your monetary support is crucial for these projects to be successful. Your emotional support and prayers are equally as important as there is much to do to help create a better world. Thank you for making ALL of the above possible!!! We cherish each and every one of you, and pray for you as well. If there is anything you would like us to pray for, please contact us by phone, email or text message.
Sincerely, Victoria Rodney, MA Founder 2006
