One of the very best parts of our job.... Getting to affirm, inspire and love on those in the trenches of parenthood and raising kids! This evening we had the privilege of talking to women in the Great Moms Club with Journey Beside Mothers about building developmental relationships and the importance of modeling the types of habits and behaviors we want to see in our own kiddos. We left the kiddos with positive affirmations and a little sugar 😉🍭🩵🧡 Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County

It was a fantastic evening at Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County's Mission House for the grand "re-launch" of Shop, Cook & Eat. Your initiative to teach others how to plan, prep, and prepare healthy, delicious, and cost-effective meals is truly commendable. It was a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone involved!

The ladies of the Journey Beside Mothers program were very grateful and appreciative of the time shared and the gifts. God’s continued blessing to you and your team as you serve the community! Thank you, Paula and Out of a Jam Out of a Jam!

JBM Testimonial:

When I started JBM I really struggled to get time to myself. I was a stay at home mom and found myself getting overwhelmed from therapies, mom duties, caring for myself, college, etc. I needed to accept time away from my son so that I could come back to be the mom he deserves. JBM met with me as soon as they could. Julie got to know me and match me with a mentor she thought would be great not only me but my son. We were also offered events and mommy and me play groups. These were amazing things to help us get out of the house and socialize. This allowed me to meet with other moms that understand the stress that comes with being a mom. My son was able to meet kids of all ages.


Edith then came into our crazy lives. I finally was able to know my son would be cared for without having to leave the safety of his home. I was able to care for myself so I couldn’t better care for my son. I found myself being able to breathe. Starting with Edith, it was hard for me to take this time, but she helped me realize how healthy it is to step away for a little time so I can be refreshed to parent. When I’ve been at a loss for my parenting, Edith can offer advice and insight that help me keep up my parenting style. My son now looks forward to Edith’s visits, as do I, and she has become family to us. My son even tries to leave with her out the door.

JBM offered so much support and prayers when I had my daughter. When we found out she needed brain surgery, I had a whole support system spiritually and emotionally. This allowed me to never feel alone or get myself in a dark spot. JBM allows me to be a happier and better mother. They make it possible to do school work, socialize, and care for my home and myself while I know my kids are safe and having fun. I am glad to be a part of this supportive loving community.

Thank you JBM,

Alexis
