When Eva* joined Connect Mentorship at The Pregnancy Network over the summer, she had no idea she would become such close friends with her mentor, Ashley*.
For some women, encouragement is needed in the form of a text or occasional phone call. Sometimes support looks like meeting over coffee. For others, knowing they can ask someone to pray for them is the best kind of support.
For Eva, it’s meant inviting Ashley into her home to meet her family. It’s meant sharing small moments, ongoing struggles, and joyful victories with one another. It’s meant doing life together.
Friendship and Fellowship
When Ashley became a mentor, she was eager to be an advocate for women in her community in a hands-on way. The Connect Mentorship program provides the opportunity to be a friend, confidant, advisor, encourager – all while simply doing life together.
Eva and Ashley are a great example of what friendship and fellowship looks like. It is a joy to see these two women journey together.
Getting Started
The Connect Program is designed to connect you with women who will walk alongside you, and both encourage and challenge you in your life. Whether you’re looking for wisdom about parenting, guidance in your relationships, or desire to grow closer in your relationship with God, this program is a great opportunity for you. Building strong relationships with other women will help you create a long term healthy support network.
You can find out more about the Connect Program here. You can also check out Fanta’s story. Fanta’s mentor became like family to her, and provided her much needed support. Fanta says she even calls her mentor her baby’s “Grandma.”
We were thrilled to welcome 15 women to the Connect Program in the month of July alone. We’d love to talk with you about getting involved in Connect Mentorship. Give us a call at 336-274-4881 or email us at info@thepregnancynetwork.org.
