Dear NIM Friends,

Greetings to you!

It's been another great month here at NIM. We have seen another 34 couples served through the NIM Intensive Programs. In addition, we were able to serve through a DNA of Relationships for Couples conference in Bechtelsville, PA.

We have made many improvements on our website this month (www.nationalmarriage.com). Our hope is to allow for more interactivity on our website. This month we have added the ability to comment of each article, additional online polling that will immediately provide you with the results of the poll and we are hoping to use this information to provide you more of what you are looking to find on our website. We are also in the process of beta testing our new online community for Intensive Alumni with a number of couples that have volunteered to help us develop this area of the website. We hope to launch this to all Intensive Alumni in the near future and make this a meaningful addition to our follow-up services. We are committed to providing this area free to all Intensive Alumni.

Our team at NIM is continuing to grow and we are in the process of hiring an additional therapist and we have added two new speakers to our conference speaking team. We are working to increase our capacity in both of these areas.

It's such a difficult balance to know when is the right time (time to begin fundraising? time to hire additional staff?). The Lord has allowed us to continue to apply 100% of all donations towards ministry and we are trusting in Him that He will continue to provide as we pursue our mission, serving more and more couples.

Thank you for you interest and support of the ministry here at NIM. It is truly an honor to do what we do, and a pleasure to serve you.

Warmly,

Dr. Robert S. Paul                                                Mark Pyatt
