Hey friends—many of you know I recently earned my Master’s degree and am now working as a professional counselor, specializing in OCD and PANS/PANDAS. This work is deeply personal to me, as PANS/PANDAS often leads to OCD symptoms and behaviors that affect families like mine. My passion is helping families navigate these challenges, both in my practice and in my own life. 
<br>
<br>
 This July, I have the opportunity to attend the International OCD Foundation conference in Seattle. The event is designed for clinicians and for people living with OCD, as well as their families. I’ve been awarded two scholarships from the IOCDF—one for a special PANS/PANDAS training and another for a significant discount on registration. Even with these scholarships, the costs for the conference, travel, and hotel are more than I can manage alone. 
<br>
<br>
 Attending this conference would be a huge benefit to me as a mom, to Jeff as a dad, and to Caleb as he navigates this difficult struggle. It will deepen my expertise and help me support families facing OCD and PANS/PANDAS, both professionally and personally. If you’d like to help send us to this conference as a graduation gift or simply to support our journey, your generosity would mean the world to us. Thank you for considering and for being part of our community.

Help Us Attend the OCD Conference

<div>My mom and dad have spent their lifetimes serving others in ministries both overseas and here in the US.  I know they have touched many of your lives through their ministry.  Recently my mom, Vickie, had a massive stroke when an aneurysm in her brain ruptured.  This also caused heart failure at the same time.  She received top care in the local ICU but it was clear that she would not recover from this brain injury.  She is currently with home hospice and her passing is eminent.  My family have received an outpouring of love and prayer support during this difficult time.  I know that the medical bills and upcoming funeral costs will be coming in soon for my dad.  Many have asked for ways to help.  Please consider giving a donation of any amount to give back to this amazing couple who have not retired from service.  May God bless your generosity.

<div><strong>Sanctuary: Spiritual Formation: Bringing Biblical Spiritual Disciplines to Every Believer</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Heart and Mission</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Sanctuary: Spiritual Formation app was born from a professor's classroom and a deep burden for the spiritual health of God's people. As Dr Andrew Wichterman taught his students about implementing spiritual disciplines—not just as academic concepts, but as transformative practices for healing, drawing closer to Jesus, and becoming Christ-like—he recognized a critical gap in available resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While excellent comprehensive resources like "Practicing the Way" exist in book and curriculum form, and the digital marketplace offers numerous prayer apps, Bible study tools, and scripture memory programs, there exists no comprehensive *app* that teaches and guides believers through the full spectrum of classical spiritual disciplines that have strengthened the Church for centuries—many of which have been lost in recent generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Makes Sanctuary Unique</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our app provides structured teaching and guided practice in 18 essential spiritual disciplines, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Biblical Meditation
</li>
<li>Guided Prayer
</li>
<li>Silence and Solitude
</li>
<li>In-depth Bible Study
</li>
<li>Sabbath Rest
</li>
<li>Biblical Fasting
</li>
<li>Simplicity
</li>
<li>Scripture Memory
</li>
<li>And <strong>ten </strong>additional transformative disciplines
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each discipline is presented not merely as information to consume, but as a practice to embrace—with step-by-step guidance, biblical foundation, and practical application for daily Christian living.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Meet the Team Behind the Vision</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Andrew R. Wichterman, LPC, holds a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from Regent University and a master's degree from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. He currently teaches as a Professor of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Colorado Christian University, where his greatest passion lies in equipping the next generation of counselors to integrate timeless spiritual disciplines into both their personal lives and therapeutic practice. Luke Burgett, MA, LLPC, brings expertise in marketing and design, sharing the vision of making spiritual formation accessible to believers everywhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as a teaching tool for graduate students has evolved into something much greater—a resource that could serve the entire Body of Christ. However, our initial development platform (Base44) has proven insufficient for the quality, consistency, and functionality that this ministry deserves and that users rightfully expect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>God has connected us with LogicFlow, a team of exceptionally skilled Christian developers based in Ukraine. Their technical expertise, combined with their shared faith and commitment to excellence, makes them the perfect partners for this project. Additionally, supporting their work provides a meaningful way to bless brothers and sisters in Christ who are serving faithfully amid extraordinary challenges in their region.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Investment Needed</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are seeking $11,000 to complete the transition from our current platform to a fully functional, professional-grade application that will work seamlessly on both iOS and Android devices. <strong>This funding will cover:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Back-end infrastructure (database, server architecture)</em></strong>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Front-end development (user interface, experience design)</em></strong>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Platform requirements (iOS/Android compatibility, store submissions)</em></strong>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Essential features (authentication, content management)</em></strong>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Professional standards (security, testing, optimization)</em></strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Vision for Impact</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We envision Sanctuary serving <strong>two primary purposes: as a therapeutic tool</strong> that counselors can recommend to clients for practicing spiritual disciplines at home—reinforcing what they learn in therapy sessions—and for <strong>general individual use</strong> by believers seeking to deepen their spiritual formation through biblically-grounded practices.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether used by seminary students, counseling clients working toward healing, busy parents desiring spiritual growth, or entire church communities pursuing discipleship, this app will provide the structure and guidance needed to cultivate a more intimate relationship with Christ.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The spiritual disciplines are not merely historical curiosities—they are time-tested pathways to transformation that our generation desperately needs. In an age of digital distraction and spiritual superficiality, Sanctuary offers believers a return to the deep wells of Christian formation that have sustained faithful followers of Jesus throughout Church history.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Join Us in This Ministry</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your investment in Sanctuary: Spiritual Formation is more than funding an app—it's <strong>partnering with us </strong>in a ministry that could <strong>impact countless lives for the Kingdom.</strong> Together, we can provide believers with the tools they need to "train themselves in godliness" (1 Timothy 4:7) and experience the abundant life that Christ promises.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You'll be among the first to experience these transformative spiritual disciplines through our carefully crafted digital platform once development is complete.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you for prayerfully considering support for this project. </strong>We believe God has great plans for how this resource will serve His people and advance His Kingdom.
</div>

<div>No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations made to your GoFundMe.

Support Sanctuary: Spiritual Formation App Development

<div>Hi, my name is Amy. I "met" Craig and Lisa through a connection I would never wish on my worst enemy- our sons both suffer from PANS, more specifically Lyme disease in Ryan's case- a debilitating medical condition that can cause extreme OCD, tics, neurological setbacks (like loss of handwriting ability or math- unable to attend school), and even psychosis. Craig and Lisa have been on such a difficult journey with their son Ryan, and now their daughters as well. They are doing everything they can to seek help for Ryan and the girls as most doctors have failed them. They have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars and they are tapped out. I'm setting this fundraiser up for those who would like to show support to the Wilkerson family by alleviating some of the financial burden and strain from an already unimaginably stressful situation. Any amount helps and will be so greatly appreciated. 
</div>

The Wilkerson Family

Jasmine, Teacher Luci West's longtime VIPKid student, is dying in Bejing. Many of you have followed this tragic story from Jasmine's surgery two months ago to now when her mom reports that Jasmine (Morning Star) is now dying. Teacher Luci has been in constant contact with Julie, the mom, on WeChat. We would love to be able to send Luci to Beijing to see Julie and possibly Jasmine before she passes. If you are able to help, please donate. Any amount helps! I found a fare for $500 round trip - if we can raise that amount quickly before it sells out. The rest of the money will be for hotels and food.
