I’m blessed with an amazing Stephen Minister. She’s been genuinely attentive and caring ever since she came alongside me. She’s kind of fearless in that way—she’ll just be there without trying to fix me or talk me out of my feelings as I struggle with what’s happening.

I was incredibly grateful to have a sister in Christ and close friend to walk with during a very tumultuous and confusing time in my family’s life. It was immensely helpful to be able to have a place to safely download and share honest feelings and thoughts about what I was experiencing. It provided an opportunity to be reminded on a weekly basis that I was not alone in my struggle. ~ Anonymous

After the death of my mom, I needed someone who would listen—even to the same stories over and over—and who wouldn’t be afraid to say her name or bring up her memory. That’s who my Stephen Minister was, and I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without her. ~ Molly

My Stephen Minister’s weekly visits became an anchor in my life—something I could rely on when everything else was so uncertain. She was a steady reminder of God’s presence, helping me know I was never alone. ~ Heather
