“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11
(This letter will be sent to friends, family, and church leaders we know—our warm market.)
For the past several years, we have had the privilege of working with couples who are getting married; helping them create a
solid foundation for a life-long, covenant marriage.
As a result, we established a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization called Ministries of Hope, to allow us to reach more to-be-wed
couples as well as offer hope to couples who want to take a “good” marriage to “great” through one-on-one coaching,
workshops, and retreats.
Two years ago, much to our surprise, God sent us a couple in crisis…ready to call it quits! They had been in therapy for three
years, and nothing helped. We were their last attempt to save their marriage! We felt this was out of our intended range of
coaching; however, we agreed to meet with them to determine if God was calling us to help them. After all, ALL things are
possible with God!
We met, we prayed, and immediately had a heart connection. After only four sessions, this couple left our home with a renewed
respect for each other, a better understanding of God’s plan for their marriage, and a commitment to keep Christ at the center of
their marriage…from this day forward! Today, their marriage continues to thrive…not just survive! Is it perfect? Absolutely not!
They are not perfect; however, they now understand that “perfect” isn’t what they want after all.
Because of the transformation in their marriage, she told a friend who was having trouble. They came, and God worked a
miracle in their marriage as well. They told another couple, who told another couple, and so forth. We continue to be blessed to
be a blessing! To God be the glory; we’re just the vessels!
Why are we sharing this with you today? Because, as we have seen in the past, personal referral is the most powerful marketing
tool any business…or ministry…can have. We want you to be aware of the impact couple coaching has on marriages, so you can
help us spread the word:
Harry & Carol Sweebe are coaching couples to have a thriving covenant marriage!
We have attached some testimonials of what couples who have worked with us are saying. We have protected all
confidentiality, so feel free to share these testimonials with your friends, family and business associates. If you will sow the seed,
God will bring the fruit!
Since coaching is a relatively new profession, we want to clarify that is not counseling or therapy. A coach brings out the best in
you so you can be all God intended you to be. As Christian coaches, we use prayer, assessments, inventories, and thoughtprovoking questions to help clients clearly identify the opportunities for change; then we help them develop and implement a
plan to create that change! What a joy it is to watch our clients reach their desired outcome!
We have enclosed a couple business cards: One for you, and one for you to share. We encourage you to check out our website:
www.ministriesofhope.org (Stop by often, it is always a work in progress.) Then, give us a call if we can be of service to you or
someone you know.
Thank you for your time and support!
