Dear Christ’s Church Family:

Suicide is a growing tragedy in America and across the globe. A few weeks ago, we posted an article from the Baptist Press on the increase of suicide, especially among seniors, Senior adults suffer greatest increase as U.S. suicides near 50,000 (by Diana Chandler).

Whether you are aware of this or not, the statistics on suicide indicate that it is very likely that you know someone who is currently struggling with suicidal thoughts. Perhaps you have experienced first-hand the painful realities of the suicide of someone close to you. Maybe you know of someone who has been deeply affected by suicide.
