Our DAY of Blessings for single-moms is our signature strategy. We hope you will consider offering a DAY of encouragement to the single moms who seldom experience Christ-love in such a meaningful way. We are here to guide and assist you in the process.

If you are considering starting a ministry for single mothers we are glad you found us. We are always happy to share our model for single moms. Our DAYs of Blessing have proven to be extraordinary.

We have designed and tested the Saturday In-home Day of Blessings for Single Mothers. We can safely guarantee a day you and the MOMS will never forget! A day filled with just what the mom needs but seldom receives.  By encouraging them you will also minister to their children who are often fatherless.

Our guide, Encouraging Single Moms to Grow Their Strengths,  is designed to provide all the guidelines necessary to host Single Mom Day of Blessings. Since this is my passion and calling I am available to facilitate the process for your first event in any way I can.

We suggest that  Days of Blessing take place in a home when possible. If no home is available a church or other similar facility can be adapted to offer the intimate setting required. Guests are limited  to the number that can be served there.  There should only be the number of guests as there are hostesses.

A booklet, called Seed Packets, containing stories, articles, and information about the theme for the day is also provided for the moms. Seed Packets for "Personality Predicaments,"  "Job Jump Starts," "Money Matters," and "Bonding with Family Fun"  have been published and others will follow.

I will gladly discuss our ministry in-depth when you contact me. Or for more information about the event planner/guidebook visit: www.smoreforwomen.org
