What Is 65 for 65?
65 for 65 is my way of celebrating God's faithfulness.
On October 1, 2026, I will celebrate my 65th birthday.
Many people thought I would never see this day.
God knew I would.
So instead of asking for birthday gifts, I'm inviting 65 people to become part of this testimony by making a $65 gift to Nicole Washington Ministries.
This isn't about celebrating me.
It's about celebrating the faithfulness of God and helping this ministry continue sharing biblical truth, hope, healing, and encouragement with people around the world.
Many Thought I Wouldn't Make It.
There were seasons when people believed I would never see this day.
Some quietly gave up.
Some walked away.
Some who once promised they would stay "closer than blood" disappeared when life became difficult.
Others looked at my medical journey, dialysis, hospital stays, surgeries, and setbacks and wondered how much longer I would be here.
A few believed I might make it.
God never questioned it.
Before I ever took my first breath, He already knew this birthday would come.
He knew every battle.
Every tear.
Every victory.
Every miracle.
And because He knew…
I'm still here.
Become One of the 65
Instead of asking people to celebrate my birthday with gifts for me, I've chosen to celebrate God's faithfulness by inviting 65 people to become part of this testimony.
I'm looking for 65 people who will make a $65 gift to Nicole Washington Ministries.
Not because you're purchasing something.
Not because you're obligated.
But because you believe lives are still being changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
What Your Gift Makes Possible
Your gift helps Nicole Washington Ministries continue to provide biblical encouragement and practical wisdom to people around the world.
Every contribution helps us continue creating:
Every gift helps ensure these ministry resources continue reaching people who desperately need hope.
Why 65?
Because this birthday isn't really about turning 65.
It's about celebrating God's faithfulness.
Every year of my life is another testimony of His grace.
Every book exists because He sustained me.
Every teaching exists because He kept me here.
Every prayer I write is possible because He carried me farther than many people believed I would ever go.
This campaign isn't about a number.
It's about a testimony.
One Lesson I've Learned
One of the greatest lessons I've learned is this:
Never build your future on someone else's opinion.
People can only judge what they see.
God speaks from what He has already ordained.
People measure possibilities.
God declares purpose.
People count statistics.
God keeps promises.
If God has spoken over your life, don't allow someone else's prediction to become your expectation.
The final word never belongs to fear.
It belongs to God.
Will You Become One of the 65?
If this ministry has ever encouraged you…
If one book strengthened your faith…
If one teaching gave you hope…
If one prayer helped you keep going…
If one Scripture reminded you that God had not forgotten you…
Then I invite you to become one of the 65.
Together, we can continue sharing hope, truth, encouragement, and the love of Christ with people who need it most.
Your gift supports Nicole Washington Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Many thought I wouldn't make it.
God knew I would.
Thank you for becoming part of this testimony.
Together, let's remind the world that by the grace of God…
We're Still Here.
