What if the thing you feel least qualified for… becomes the very thing God uses most?

What if “not enough time” becomes moments that change a family forever?
What if “we have nothing in common” becomes friendship, laughter, and doing life together?
What if ordinary people saying “yes” is exactly how family preservation begins?

At My Village Ministries, we’ve seen over and over again that you don’t have to be perfect, gifted, or have all the answers to make an impact. You just have to be willing to show up, love people well, and trust God with the rest. 🤍

Sometimes hosting looks like a toddler giggling on a trampoline while loving volunteers step in so a young mom can attend her work orientation. 💙

One of our hosted teen moms was able to take an important next step toward stability and independence because people in the church said “yes” to helping. From babysitting to encouragement to simply showing up, these moments matter deeply.

We love getting to watch practical support turn into hope, confidence, and opportunity for young families.

We are so thankful for for saying yes and stepping in to keep families together!

Mentorship nights are truly some of our favorite nights of the month 💙

There’s so much joy in seeing mentors and kids laugh together, build trust, make memories, and simply have fun together. These evenings remind us how powerful consistent, caring relationships can be.

Right now, we have new kids waiting for mentors - and we are praying for 15 new mentors to say “yes” and step into this incredible opportunity.

Could that be you? If you’ve ever been interested in mentorship, we would love to connect with you and answer any questions you have!

And even if mentorship isn’t for you right now, would you join us in praying for 15 new mentors to step forward and join these fun, meaningful evenings?

Our next mentorship event is next week, and we can’t wait for another night together!

Their hearts for people, community, and family preservation already shine so brightly, and we’re excited for the ways they will help strengthen and support the mission of MVM.

At My Village Ministries, we believe relationships matter - and these two embody that so well. We can’t wait for you to get to know them!

Longer hostings are becoming an increasing need in our community - and this month-long hosting is such a beautiful example of what saying “yes” can look like. 💙

These families are currently in week 2 of hosting, with 1 family hosting and 1 family providing respite care.

From shared meals to laughter and everyday moments, they are having SO much fun building connection and community along the way.

We are so thankful for for saying YES!

Could your church or family be the next to step in for a longer hosting?
