Witnesses from Care Receivers

"I was very discouraged and depressed then my Stephen Minister started coming. I look forward to her visits each week. They have helped to restore my faith."

"Meeting with a Stephen Minister has come to mean a great deal to me. Here's a person who really listens and cares about what I have to say. I'm given the opportunity to work through my feelings at a pace that I'm comfortable with."

"I value the time my Stephen Minister has spent with me and appreciate having someone to talk to me and to listen completely unbiased. The nicest things to come from this, are that I feel better about myself and I now have a new friend."

"On hearing of the Stephen Ministry and learning more about it, I was for the first time willing to trust revealing myself to someone I knew outside of my family. The step was an act of faith for me and as we met and conversed the process became one of mutual sharing."

Witnesses from Care Givers

"I have been overwhelmed by the rewards I have received as a Stephen Minister. Many times after meeting with my care receiver, I prayed with thanksgiving that I had been so blessed. What a great experience!"

"I have prayed for the Lord to "use me" and I believe this is one of the ways my Precious Lord wants me to serve. The need for Stephen Ministers will no doubt grow due to our growing community and aging population."

"It is a great way to show God's love to others, by giving of yourself to help others."
