Barbara was excited when her church became part of The Austin Stone family, and then the pandemic hit, and she was suddenly isolated from her new church family. But God knew what she needed, and as He cared for her, Barbara felt God saying, “I care about relationships. I care about friendships.”

God was faithful to bring these women together to experience His love through one another. Barbara says, “God has continued to knit us together in this relationship. It’s beyond explanation—because all of us are different. All of us have different things going on in our lives. And yet, God has said, ‘This is something I’m giving you.’”
