I’ve had the privilege of chairing Touchstone’s board for several years and being part of our happy decision to celebrate Touchstone’s 40th birthday in June along with Norm’s retirement from the ministry. We have a terrific event planned on June 9th, 2024 from 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. to which you all are invited. 

As 2023 comes to a close, we would like to thank many of you for your continued support of Touchstone.

I wrote to you last year as a long-time friend and supporter of both Norm Allen and Touchstone Ministries knowing we have benefited from the ministry over many decades. We share a respect for this work, are grateful that it is continuing in healthy and rich ways, and I hope you share my desire that it receives the support necessary to finish 2023 well.

It’s hard to believe that 39 years ago Touchstone’s adventure of exploring and nurturing spiritual friendship began. Many of you have generously supported us along the way. Thank you.

We’re already into the fourth month of 2023. After the long, cold and grey January to March months, we’re finally experiencing the warmth and blossoming of springtime. Even with the dislocation, separation and economic uncertainty of the pandemic during the past two years, Touchstone’s work has continued fruitfully, and our 2022 yearend financial needs were met.
