As we send out the last Newsletter for 2019, we cannot end this year without thanking our ministry friends/partners like you for your support this year. We love doing what we do and those who we do it with. There have been amazing things witnessed this year and we cannot wait to see what the upcoming new year holds.

We hope you will join us in the journey God has planned for Still Waters in 2020. There is no greater joy than to be used to show God's great love to those He puts in our path. We hope you will join us!

It's not too late to give a tax deductible, year-end gift. There's no doubt about it, Still Waters cannot exist without the financial support from ministry friends like you.
AT THE CENTER
Whether it is providing a pregnancy test / support to someone in a crisis pregnancy, educating a client about their pregnancy, providing parenting education for a CPS client or material assistance to a family in need, we love serving every single client who enters the doors at Still Waters. We are honored to have the opportunity to provide hope and help to those in need.

It has been a blessing to get to know this sweet mommy during her pregnancy. She loved coming to Still Waters and meeting with Lori, her Client Advocate. During her appointments, she learned ways to help her be the best mommy she could be for her little boy. After he was born, we were excited that she returned to introduce him to Lori and the staff.
Please join us in celebrating this little cutie.
... and yes, he is just as cute in person!

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3
A Big Thank You!

We are so grateful for the donations we receive at the center from of our community and friends. Without this help, we could not provide our clients with the help needed during their time of need.

A special shout out to Dr. Vasani for the generous delivery of formula. What a blessing you are, not only to us, but also to each family who received formula to help feed their baby. God bless you!

Thank you, too, to P at Vigreux for making these beautiful blankets. We love knowing that you prayed over each one. It is a blessing to tell each mommy who receives these blankets and watch their expression. They are so touched knowing that someone has prayed for them and their unborn baby. From the bottom of our hearts... thank you!
TEEN/YOUNG PARENT PROGRAMS

Congratulations  Tori !!
It's been a great start to a new parent program year!
Our teen/young parent program year started back up in August. Moms and dads have been busy learning, setting goals and working hard to accomplish them. Here are some goals that were accomplished in the first semester:

  • Gained employment
  • Remained off of government assistance
  • Created a budget and saving money
  • Finished another semester in college
  • Remained committed to studying for GED
  • Implemented healthy discipline techniques and incentive program at home

We are thankful to our ministry friends/partners like you. Without financial support and volunteers who serve, these programs would not be possible. Because of the commitment and love shown to our teen/young moms and dads, they are able to do great things and achieve goals they never thought would be possible.

Thank you to the following churches/groups who helped during the Fall semester by providing and serving a hot meal each Monday evening:

  • Central Baptist Church - Crandall
  • cLife - Kaufman
  • C.O.P.S. Sunday School Class - FBC Sunnyvale
  • Country Bible Church - Kaufman
  • Crossroads Bible Church - Talty
  • First Community Church - Crandall
  • Kaufman Area Christian Homeschoolers
  • Kaufman's Church of Christ
  • Kaufman's First Baptist Church
  • Mission Church - Terrell
  • Still Waters Board of Directors

A special shout out to Robyn Jacobs, our Parent Programs Coordinator. She is the glue that holds these programs together. She is greatly loved by all and we are so thankful for her.

If you, your church or a group you are part of would like to help with our parent programs by leading a life skills workshop, serving a hot meal or loving on our littles, please contact Robyn. She can be reached at parentprograms@stillwatersps23.com or 972-932-4357.
Giving Back!

It is important for us to not only help our teen/young parents express their appreciation to those who have helped and supported them during their time of need, but also for them to give back and support others in their time of need.

We are so proud of our Chosen moms! They were on a mission... and it was accomplished thanks to them, their mentors, family and friends.

Due to their determination and the generosity of so many, 50 bags were filled and overflowed with items that were delivered to Children’s Hospital for moms who are staying in the hospital with their sick child.
I AM ENOUGH - A PREVENTION OUTREACH
Our character development/sexual integrity program, i am ENOUGH, is currently being used in 13 states and 6 countries, thanks to our ministry friends/partners like you. We couldn't make this happen without your incredible support and we thank God for the opportunity to spread the i am ENOUGH message to so many.

Please join us in praying for the Lord to continue using this program as He deems necessary. We recently received word that i am ENOUGH could be used with an Indian Tribe as an after school program. Who would have thought this could even be possible? We are excited about this possible opportunity.

As we close out this year, we would like to give a shout out of appreciation to our local team of school speakers who have spread this message to area students. It is such a blessing to serve alongside others who have a heart for today's youth and empower them with truth. These men and women will never know this side of heaven how grateful we are for all they have done for Still Waters and the students of Kaufman County:

  • Shane Christopher
  • Lori Hale
  • Melissa Killen
  • Evan Renfroe
  • Jake Simmons
  • Steve Small
  • Shari Spitzer

A special shout out to Brandi Westbrook, our School Program Coordinator, who oversees this program. She works directly with the speakers and schools, as well as, every domestic and international partner. There's no doubt about it, she is the glue that holds this program together. We are beyond blessed to serve alongside of her and are sincerely grateful for all she does.

God has allowed Still Waters to not only serve, but also further His Kingdom in Kaufman County and beyond. We are grateful for this platform and opportunity to show His great love in times of crisis and need.
