We are beyond blessed to have Brandi Westbrook as a staff member at Still Waters. She faithfully serves the Lord and we are thankful to have the amazing opportunity to do Kingdom work with her.
Brandi serves as our School Program Coordinator. She not only coordinates every speaking engagement we have throughout the school year and all that is involved with each session, but also works directly with our domestic and international i am ENOUGH partners.
There is no doubt about it... we would be lost without her! There is a lot to do to make what we do possible and she is a key player in serving our community and beyond with excellence.
She is beyond a blessing and gift to us. We thank God for leading her to serve alongside us in furthering God's Kingdom in Kaufman County and beyond.
Happy 3 Year Anniversary BW!!

TEEN/YOUNG PARENT PROGRAMS

Summer Fun!
Summer is always a busy time for us planning and preparing for the next program year; however, it doesn't stop us from staying connected and having fun with our teen/young parents.
This summer, we gathered at a local splash pad for some fun in the sun. The kiddos loved it and the mommies enjoyed their bonding time.
There's nothing better than seeing the smiles and the joy in the face of each little life. We are so grateful for the opportunity to love on these children while we equip and empower their mommies to be the best parent they can be.

Look who came to visit us... KamBree, one of our past Chosen participants and graduate!!
KamBree moved to another state after marrying the love of her life. We have missed her dearly since that move, but have loved watching her blossom and grow as a mommy and wife.
Since getting married, she has had another little bundle of joy. She is now a stay-at-home mom who is enjoying her time raising the blessings God has given her. She is active in her local church. KamBree loves being part of Bible studies and serving in her home church. Words cannot express how proud we are of her.
We are grateful for our ministry friends and financial partners like you. Teen/young moms like KamBree have the opportunity to not only choose life for their baby, but also have a life God intended.
From the bottom of our hearts... thank you! There's no doubt about it, we could not do what we do without ministry partners like you. Together, we are making a difference in this world... one life at a time.

If you would like to help a teen/young mom like KamBree beat the odds and smash the stereo type of teen/young moms, financially partner with us. Cycles of teen pregnancy, high school drop out and poverty are being broken thanks to our mighty God and ministry partners like you.

We can't believe another program year is under way. It is unbelievable to think we have been serving teen moms for the past 10 years. The Lord has expanded this area of ministry and has allowed us to provide additional programs because of our clients voicing a desire to be the best parent they can be for their child.
Thanks to God and every ministry partner who financially supports Still Waters, we have been able to serve teen/young moms and dads in Kaufman County for several years.
CHOSEN - 10 years
Program for Teen/Young Moms
IGNITE - 9 years
Program for Teen/Young Dads
THRIVE - 6 years
Program for Chosen Graduates / Young Moms
We can't wait to see what this year holds. The Lord has led some amazing parents to Still Waters. They are determined, smart and have the ability to do amazing things in this world. We thank God for the opportunity to equip and empower these parents in hopes they will live their life to the full.

OUR SCHOOL PROGRAM - A PREVENTION OUTREACH
|
|
We are grateful to God for the opportunity to teach students about their worth and value. Through the i am ENOUGH program, our character development and sexual integrity program for middle school students, we have the ability to empower today's youth with truth about themselves. Students are learning their value and purpose in life; in turn, empowering them to not only make healthy choices for today, but also for their tomorrow.
It is a true blessing to partner with other organizations like Still Waters who has a heart for today's youth. Due to these partnerships, we are spreading the i am ENOUGH message in 8 States and 5 Foreign Countries.

We were so thankful to have been invited to be part of Kaufman ISD's SHAC Health Fair. It was a blessing to meet new families and share about the services we offer to our community.

We are thankful to these sweet friends who help us each month distribute diapers, baby food and clothing to families who are currently in need.
A special thank you to Richard Dunn, Executive Director of The Center, who allows us the opportunity to serve alongside of The Center during their monthly Produce Day. We are so grateful for his support and partnership in serving Kaufman County.

4TH ANNUAL FASHIONABILI-TEA
What a fun day we had at the Fashionabili-Tea! We were beyond blessed by the ladies who not only came to support Still Waters, but to also join us in providing HOPE and help to our community.
The Fashionabili-Tea takes many people to make it happen; not only those who give financially, but also who give generously of their time, talent, and resources. Words cannot express how grateful we are for every single one of these ministry friends and partners. From the bottom of our hearts... Thank You... to each and every one of you!!
