special thanks
Heartfelt love and thanks to the many friends and staff of First Baptist Orlando who joined me in the call to minister to single-parent families, and whose dedication in time and love has made New Start for Single Moms a success.
Special gratitude to Dr. David Ferguson who gave me an understanding of relational Christianity in its purest form.
Thank you to my husband of thirty-five years, Jay, and my daughters, Missy and Chris, my greatest encouragers and the joys of my life.
program guide
new start for single moms
What is involved in being a part of the New Start for Single Moms program? More joy than you can imagine! The mission is to come alongside single moms and their children in direct response to the mandate of James 1:27: that pure religion
is to care for those families who have no husband or father in the home.
First, please don’t be concerned about getting every detail done or every task perfect. The success of this program is based on Romans 12:15: Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
To be loved, listened to, and believed in is to find hope, healing, and encouragement. That is the catalyst of the program, not the paperwork.
New Start for Single Moms is not a crisis-oriented program. It is a practical tool designed to take the single mom into a personal, step-by-step healing of the pain of the past; a practical plan for the present; and a confident walk into a hopeful future. Our New Start kit is comprehensive and easy to use. All it takes to get started is one woman in a community or church who believes in the power of women helping other women.
Over and over we have seen families heal, strengthen, and move forward with confidence as the cycle of pain is broken. You will be amazed at the transformations that occur in the lives of women as you lead others to listen and love single moms and teach them to have peaceful homes.
As the Lord calls you to lead the New Start program, He will prepare your heart and also call those who will come alongside as co-laborers. I have seen Him do it over and over for those who answer His call to serve by faith.
