Contagious Joy 4 Him ministers to the woman who serves tirelessly beside her husband day in and day out from the front lines of ministry.Some refer to this place as the “glass house.”


A Ministry You Can Trust

Meet Diane Nix – Founder of Finishing the Work INC

Over half of pastors’ spouses (53%) are employed outside of their church, (with 44% working full-time (40+ hrs./week) and 56% working part-time hours; she will also serve a minimum of 20 hours a week in the church she and her husband are serving. And then she will take care of her children and her husband. For the most part, these women say they are happy with their lives. But all of them say, we are lonely and we are tired. With the average size church in the continental U.S. is 150 or less you can see why it is important for us to offer what we do and to raise the monies needed to carry out this mission and call.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t hear from a ministry wife who is grateful we do what we do. This calling is the passion of my heart. Your donations help to make the vision a reality. Thank you for partnering with me as we create safe, refreshing, renewing spaces and content for the ministry wife!

Thank you for giving. Thank you for partnering with us!

We need your help! We are in a critical need of $20,000 for our Summer and beginning Fall Refresh Retreats. Will you partner with us?
