The Heart to Heart Ministry is the focus of the women of Impact. Our hope and prayer is that this ministry will be a transformational experience for the women of Impact as we connect with one another inter-generationally and grow together in our personal relationships, with our families, and most importantly, with our Lord. Below is a description of the purpose and organization of this fun and meaningful ministry.
Heart Groups – Small groups meeting in homes hosted by Heart Moms once a month for a meal, Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Groups consist of Heart Moms who are mature Christian women who teach the younger women known as Heart Sisters. The Heart Moms teach and train through lessons and through example. Hospitality will be taught through meal preparation and opening and sharing our homes. The familiar and comforting atmosphere of a home environment will encourage building genuine relationships between generations. Biblical lessons on Christian living and parenting and marriage will be presented each meeting. The development of loving, close, and supportive relationships among women will provide encouragement to them. These mentoring relationships will support the younger women as they pass their Christian faith on to their families and on to the next generation.
Heart Mom – A Christian woman who honors God and will agree to guide and influence a younger sister. As a mature, caring woman of faith she will share her home and hospitality. She is passing on the legacy of faith and Christian living by instruction and example. She helps to disciple younger women in God’s teachings concerning their roles as women, particularly as wives and mothers. She shares her own joys and disappointments, her troubles and successes that she learned in building a Christian life and home. A Heart Mom may be:
*A Host Mom who prepares a meal in her home
*A Helper Mom in another Heart Mom’s home
*A Bible Teacher Heart Mom who teaches the lesson
If this description of a Heart Mom fits you, you have placed membership with Impact Christian Church, and you’d like to be part of Heart to Heart in this way, please contact Kim Park.
Heart Sister – A younger wife and/or mother with children in her home or a single mom or single young woman. She agrees to commit to a small group (Heart Group) for a season of Heart to Heart. She will be the guest of honor at a Heart Mom’s home along with other younger women to enjoy hospitality, a meal, friendship, fellowship, and Bible study.
This ministry is biblically based on Titus 2:3-5
“Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.”
