The New Mexico Suicide Prevention Coalition (www.nmspc.org) is a state-wide group of volunteers who focus their efforts on reducing the occurrence of suicides across our state. The Coalition is comprised of ten workgroups that focus attention on specific at-risk target populations. The Faith Communities workgroup has created a comprehensive resource guide to help in the efforts to combat the high number of suicides within New Mexico.

The goal of the Faith Community group is to distribute these important resource guides to houses of worship.  If you know of a faith community that would be open to meeting with us, we would be happy to travel to any northern community to distribute. Contact Desiree at 505-344-4343 or scrappy1231@comcast.net, or Jodie at 505 270-1940, or jodiehix7@gmail.com.

Today, Ray Mondragon of the Creation Science Fellowship of New Mexico and the Creation Research Society’s Dr. Marshall Jordan join us to discuss the evidence for a young earth. They share how believers can make sense of this subject and communicate effectively with those who hold differing views.
