"Mentoring Moms has benefited me spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. My Mentor encourages me daily. We have prayed together, cried together and laughed together. It is through our relationship that I'm healing."

"Before coming to Mentoring Moms, I didn't like being in a group and wouldn't talk at all. Being a part of Mentoring Moms has helped me feel more comfortable in group situations and I am able to talk more in those settings. I've gained more confidence. I've even started praying out loud."

"Mentoring Moms has been a lifesaver for me. There have been many times when I've lost all hope in life but due to the women involved in this program I am still alive today."

"Mentoring Moms has helped me rewrite my life, make my own decisions, and to know what is most important to me in my journey."

"As I reflect on what Mentoring Moms means to me I see it as an answer to prayer ... for a loving community for myself and indirectly for my family ... for the support needed in order to grow out of the damaging effects of divorce and abuse ... and to grow into the likeness of Christ."

"As a teenager I began struggling with depression, anorexia, and various self-destructive behaviors. I was newly married with a baby on the way when I fell into a deep depression. I had no support system, and my attempts at finding answers or treatment were unsuccessful. After struggling for several years, I discovered Mentoring Moms. I continually receive encouragement and support from other godly women, who show me God's love in their selflessness, patience, and compassion. Through this ministry, I have been able to grow closer to God and develop healthy attachments with other women."

"Since the time that I have started Mentoring Moms I have made tremendous strides. I have learned what safe and unsafe relationships are. I have learned what boundaries are and how to set them. I have learned that I can love and forgive, but I do not have to be a victim. Mentoring Moms has opened up a whole new world for me. Being the only African American in the group, I was rather challenged in the beginning wondering whether I would be accepted, but I have never received anything but love, support, and acceptance since I became a part of Mentoring Moms."

"Mentoring Moms offers time to talk, to listen, to pray together, to learn, to offer challenges and other opportunities for fun. Slowly, at our own speeds, we are given the chance to get close to one another. We share experiences, we inspire one another, and evaluate the results."

"I just wanted you to know how much Mentoring Moms has helped me pursue the purpose I feel God has for my life. I don't know of any other organization that reaches out to women in need and also to women who want to use their experiences in a supportive leadership role."
