Impact Story: Virtual Coffee Talk Groups

This month’s impact story is a little different. We wanted to share an amazing NEW way that we are able to reach families who are raising children with special needs.

"These groups have been a life changer. I'd been going through a lot including losing family and a pet and just being isolated... I feel like I've known you all my whole life."

-Coffee Talk Mom in Costa Rica  

As these times in our country bring isolation, we have found that to be especially true for our special needs moms across the country and even the world. This has opened up opportunities for us to connect with moms all over the world through Virtual Mom's Coffee Talk. Coffee Talk is our small groups or community groups. We encourage moms to grab a cup of coffee or tea and join us for some genuine community and support.

We are truly excited about all that the Lord is doing to bring community and encouragement to special needs moms across the world. He is at work!

As our first round of Coffee Talk groups started, we had almost 100 women sign up for 14 groups. Women from New Jersey to California and everywhere in between. We also had one mom from Costa Rica who joined in almost every group because she was so starved for community.

We are so excited to see this grow as we add more and more groups.

Because of your generosity, we are able to offer more and more groups starting in July.

We are excited to announce our By the Brook retreat this year is going to be completely online. We hope to encourage every woman who “attends” By the Brook this year to take advantage of these new groups. We hope they will prayerfully consider walking through scripture together in this fun new platform.

Below are some specific ways you can partner with us to make this year's VIRTUAL By the Brook a huge success! There are two ways to give: online through the link below or you can send a check to PO Box 222, Cookeville, TN 38503.

$30 Bronze Level: Sponsor a mom to access the event.

We are grateful for so many donors and volunteers who make stories like this a reality every day. Your partnership makes it possible for us to continue to pursue our mission of bringing the love of God and hope in Christ to special-needs families in the Upper Cumberland, across the nation, and around the world.
