People often ask, “What exactly is a Stephen Minister?” One way to put it is that Stephen Ministers are the After People.
Stephen Ministers are there:
. . . after the phone call you hoped you’d never get.
. . . after the divorce papers are served and the bottom falls out of your life.
. . . after the funeral, when everyone has already left.
. . . after the doctor says, “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more we can do.”
. . . after the nursing home director says, “Welcome to your new home.”
. . . after the last child leaves, and the house is empty.
. . . after the gavel goes down, and your loved one is led away.
. . . after the baby arrives, demanding more of you than you ever dreamed.
. . . after you find a pink slip with your final paycheck.
. . . after your friends and family cannot listen to the same story again.
Stephen Ministers are the “After People.” They are ready to come alongside you—or
your friends, neighbors, coworkers, or relatives—and provide comfort and support for
as long after as needed.
