A Care Receiver’s Heartfelt Thanks
“I thank God every day for leading me to my Stephen Minister. When we began our caring relationship, I was slowly coming out of the numbness I felt after the shattering of my marriage. Her patience, her listening ear, and her willingness to serve have completely changed the trajectory of my life.
“Without a doubt, accepting care from my church’s Stephen Ministry has been the best decision of my life. Everyone should be able to have a Stephen Minister when they need one – it’s an amazing model of how the body of Christ can work. God is truly glorified through their service everywhere!”
This powerful note was received by Stephen Ministries, St. Louis recently. One of the pastoral staff received permission from the care receiver to forward it to our Stephen Minister so that she may be encouraged by the words. I asked permission to share the note with you so that our congregation may see just one example of the much-needed ministry that Stephen Ministers are providing every day through Christ-centered care.
In Christ,
Sue Kuhn, Stephen Leader
