Thank you to our Corporate Sponsors who not only partner with us in serving Kaufman County, but also publicly and unashamedly stand for life. Their commitment and generous support of Still Waters allows us to remain steadfast in Our Mission:
Offering Hope
Providing Help
Breaking the Cycle
There is no doubt about it, we could not serve in the capacity that we do without the financial support and partnerships from our ministry friends like you.
Please contact us to learn more about our Corporate Sponsorships. Also, more ways to sponsor Still Waters are coming soon!

New Website
We were given the opportunity to work with a marketing agency to have our client website professionally developed. It took many months to create, but we are so happy with the end result.
Please join us in praying that the Lord will use this website to reach more individuals and families who need hope and help in Kaufman County.

It was a busy summer at Still Waters, one like no other. We not only served more clients, but also received more donations to provide for the needs of our clients and community.
A special shout out to Stephanie, our Ministry Administration Coordinator, for managing our materials and keeping them all organized and maintained. We are beyond grateful for her and do not know what we would do without her. She is a true blessing!

We are excited to introduce to you our newest center volunteer. Jill began serving as one of our Client Advocates in May and has already been a blessing not only to us, but also to many of our clients.
She has a passion to share the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ and help our clients understand that their lives have purpose. We are grateful for her and love watching the Lord use her within Still Waters.
We are encouraged by her testimony and blessed to have been given an opportunity to serve alongside of her.

"I accepted the Lord early in life; I had no idea that it was the most important decision I would ever make in my life.
My childhood was hard and filled with lots of abuse, but the Lord was with me and carried me through it. As a young adult, I took my eyes off the cross. In fact, I completely turned my back on God and used the Ten Commandments as a playbook for my life. For the first time in my life, I was alone and scared, hitting rock bottom to the point of being homeless on the street to finally turning my eyes back to the cross and to the open arms of a loving Savior. Once I repented and submitted my life back to the Lord, he began to show me how He could use my life to help others and to share his love in my own community or county.
This new purpose and passion allowed me to return to college to become a social worker, which led me to Still Waters. I knew Still Waters was an amazing organization, but I had no idea the amount of kingdom work that is accomplished daily; it truly is the hands and feet of Jesus.
Volunteering at Still Waters was an answered prayer; I count it a privilege and a blessing to even be a small part of this ministry’s family."

More Lives Saved
We were jumping with joy and shedding some happy tears this summer when lives were saved from both, abortion and eternal death!!
A couple came to us who were determined to have an abortion. Praise the Lord, after visiting with them two different times at the center, they chose life for their unborn child.
We have been working with a young lady who had her children removed from her. After opening up about her past and breaking down in our office, she admitted she couldn't handle her life on her own and wanted change. That day, she surrendered her life to Jesus Christ and has been transformed right before our eyes. We are witnessing a totally different person now compared to the person who walked in our doors the first time. She loves being surrounded by women who love Jesus and is doing everything she can to become a better mommy and grow in her relationship with Jesus.
We are thankful for the grace of God, to our prayer warriors and ministry friends like you who partner with us in saving lives, both physically and spiritually. We could not do what God has called us to do without YOU and the grace of God.
Praise Him for His wonderful working power!

Teen/Young Parent Programs
We always pray for the Lord to lead and guide us as we plan and prepare for a new program year with our teen/young moms and dads. Year after year, the Lord shows up and leaves us standing in awe. This year has been no different.
Not only did He bring more teen/young moms who wanted to participate in our parent programs, He also brought forth many volunteers to serve within these programs. Yes, even during a pandemic!
The Lord's ways are always higher than ours. Little did we know that He had new plans for these programs this year. We have created two new positions: a Goals Coach and a Financial Coach. Both volunteers are working side-by-side with our Ministry Services Coordinator, program participants and Mentors. These women are vital in helping our parents obtain financial stability and become productive citizens in the communities in which they live.
It's been a great start to a new program year. We cannot wait to see the work God accomplishes in and through our teen/young parents because of the prayers, love and service provided not only by our Parent Program Volunteers, but also by our ministry friends like you.
Thank you to every ministry partner who makes these programs possible. Together, we are making a difference... one life at a time.

Robyn (top left), our Ministry Programs Coordinator, continues to do an amazing job serving our teen/young parents. She seeks the Lord in all that she does and surrenders to His ways and not hers. We are so thankful for her leadership and can't wait to see how the Lord uses her this new program year.
Anke (top right), our Parent Programs Financial Coach, loves to remind our young parents that they can do all things through Christ who gives them strength. (Phil 4:13)
Chandra (bottom right), our Goals Coach, set the stage in setting goals this program year by letting our teen/young parents know if they aim at nothing, they will hit it every time.

Seeing the Fruit!
“The moment you put a deadline on your dreams, it becomes a goal.”
We were so happy and beyond blessed to see this quote and picture posted on social media by one of our young moms in Chosen (our program for teen/young moms). She made this on her own and displayed it for the world to see.
This post proves to us that this young mom is not only listening during our Life Skills Workshops in Chosen, but also learning.
Thank you to every ministry friend and financial partner who make our teen/young mom and dad programs possible. We are so thankful for YOU!!
