What Kind of Man Would Receive the Care of a Stephen Minister? A man like ADAM who was cut off from all that gave meaning to life and needed someone to remind him of God's promise. A man like NOAH who witnessed the destruction of everything around him and needed someone to wait with him for a new day. A man like ABRAHAM who had to leave everything he knew and loved behind him and needed someone to journey with him to a new life. A man like MOSES who faced great opposition and needed a companion to support him and speak on his behalf. A man like DAVID who grieved the death of a wayward child and needed a shepherd's care. A man like ELIJAH who thought he was all alone and needed a still small voice to encourage him. A man like JOB who lost everything and needed someone to silently endure his pain with him. A man like PETER who found himself in over his head and needed the strong hand of a faithful friend. A man like JESUS who knew intense disappointment, sorrow, grief, rejection, and loneliness and needed an angel of God to minister to him. A man like YOU. If you would like to know more about how a Stephen Minister could care for you, please see or call Susan Burrow at 704-572-0113 or the church office at 704-334-1381 for more information.
