MOPS
MOPS is a grassroots movement that believes moms are world influencers.
We also believe that incubating hearts and giving just-because-hugs can change the course of history. That’s why we connect moms all over the world to a community of women, in their own neighborhoods, who meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of motherhood. MOPS groups are rallying women to be more honest, to feel more equipped and to find our identity by journeying alongside one another.
We are moms, and we believe that better moms make a better world.
MY QUIET CAVE
My Quiet Cave creates spaces for faith and mental health by educating pastors and churches about mental health and building faith based mental health support groups to help the church address mental health, combining best practice mental health and the gospel together to help people experience life in the midst of mental health challenges.

PROJECT 1.27
Project 1.27 exists to inspire, recruit and resource churches and families to foster and adopt the kids in their own backyard. James 1.27 (taken from the Bible) tells us, in part, that, “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans in their distress…” The orphans of today are the children in our foster care system. We recruit, train and support Christian parents from local churches to adopt and foster children in the Colorado foster care system.
