Do I Really Need Care?

Am I confused about events in my life?
Do I feel like I have lost control of my life and my problems?
Do I doubt God's presence and love for me?
Am I hurting?
Do my job worries seem too great to handle? Are they getting me down?
Am I feeling lonely? Do I often wish I had someone to share my thoughts with?
Have there been changes in my life that have caused readjustments in my lifestyle?
Am I having difficulty making decisions and finding answers?
Have I recently suffered a loss?
Do I ever feel like I just want someone to listen?


Can a Stephen Minister Help Me?


"I didn't know what to expect from my Stephen Minister, but he put me at ease. I had a friend I could trust and who really cared about me. My caregiver showed me how to work things out for myself and had the patience to let me do it."

"When I really needed a friend, my Stephen Minister was there. We cried together a lot, prayed together, talked, and now we laugh together."

". . . I wanted answers and she asked questions. She knew how to see things a new way and her questions helped me find my own answers. I thought God had forgotten me, but my Stephen Minister helped me grow close to God. She loves me. So does God. So do I."

"I wish the whole world was made up of people like my caregiver . . . Christians with God's own heart."
