Hear from a Stephen Minister on the process and what it's like to become a Stephen Minister
I joined the Stephen Ministry to increase my faith by being of service to others. My experience has been a continual blessing! The learning provided by the initial training as well as the ongoing training opportunities has increased my abilities to communicate with all personalities in all of my relationships… personal and professional. As a retired RN, I thought my communication skills were excellent: HA! I learned so much! I had hoped to be a Blessing to my Care Receivers, and to my fellow Stephen Ministers, but I have found that it is often myself being Blessed by them! This Ministry continues to strengthen my walk with the Lord in every area of my life.”
