Jan shared the following about their inaugural Moving On After Moving In group:
We wanted to send you a picture of our group, so you could see how well our new “Moving On After Moving In” class is going! It was extremely well received in Austin, with ladies still joining us even in our last few weeks. We thought we might have 10 at the most, but by the end we had 34 ladies on our register! We had one lady who came 3 or 4 weeks after we had started. She stood outside our door, peeked in, and said, “I haven’t registered. I’m late. I am pregnant with my 5th baby. And we moved here 5 days ago. Can I join your group?” She sat down and began to pour her heart out to us. Of course, we totally loved on her!
I am just amazed at how moving and feeling isolated can bond a group of women, who are in completely different life stages, live in different parts of town, go to different churches, and may or may not believe in God! It blows my mind how well they receive one another, and how openly they will consider the claims of Christ! Now that our class has officially ended, they are emailing one another and planning get-togethers, because they truly have developed a bond. I don’t think I really believed I would see the good God would do as a result of my very unwanted move. I thought maybe in heaven He would tell me. But, I got to see it firsthand through this ministry!
