Getting connected with other caregivers to study God's Word has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. All those years in and out of hospitals, I ached for someone to talk to about all I was feeling, but I knew few people could really understand what it is like to become overwhelmed, lonely and even depressed caring for someone I loved.
I began a small group at my church, advertising it for ANYONE who was struggling with caring for a family member. That first night, I was astounded by how many people showed up. As we went around the room, sharing our stories, crying and hugging each other, I knew something very special was happening. As we dove into the scriptures and learned about how highly God regards those who lay down their lives to love and serve others, I knew I'd found the comfort and connection I had been searching for.
Fifteen years later, this miracle happens over and over again. Total strangers come together - in person and online in The Heart of the Caregiver Groups, and within the first hour, precious bonds are formed and hearts begin to heal.
I've learned so much over the years from each person. I have found so much hope in the scriptures and healing power in His Ministering Presence in the groups. My life is full of joy and peace and contentment once again.
Join us Monday evenings or Friday mornings for this life-changing experience. I will be leading MasterClasses, offering you the additional insight, scripture and amazing stories from these past 15 years. It's a rich time that will not only help you through caregiving, but bless your life for years to come!
With love,
Mary Tutterow

"I took the caregiver master class and it was life changing. Do something for yourself and the one you care for. Take this course and find peace." - Lydia
"What your group did for me and my family was beyond words. It literally felt like a scale was removed from my eyes. It was like the Holy Spirit was just showing me our boys for the first time in a new light and it was beautiful! I had my husband sit down and watch it with me again and his reaction was a confirmation of what I experienced. I could see the same filter being removed from his eyes. He cried just like me! The realness of your lives is a gift from God to many of us." - Jessica G.
