“There are only four kinds of people in the world—those who have been caregivers, those who currently are caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who need caregivers.” —former first lady Rosalynn Carter, founder of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers

The Heart of the Caregiver © is an eight week, in-depth study of God’s Word designed to help you start to discover all that God has for you and those around you in your role as a family caregiver.

There are many resources on the market today for family caregivers, but few, if any, lead us into an intimate, lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.  God wants us to understand that He did not do this TO us.  There is something wonderful and good that He wants to do THROUGH us.  This is the paradigm shift, the point of transformation, the essence of this study.  Caregivers will come to see themselves, their situation, and the person they are caring for in a whole new way – through the light of God’s amazing love.  It is our only hope for coping and caring well.

TO START A STUDY AT YOUR CHURCH:

There are nearly 50 million people caring for someone who is sick or disabled in the home.  Most of these are women - caring for a disabled child, an ailing spouse, or an aging parent.  Caregiving is the fastest growing family dynamic, effecting all ages.  The need for outreach into this area is great.

If you are a caregiver and would like to have The Heart of the Caregiver(c) offered at your church, or if you are a pastor or outreach leader and want to offer such a study to women in your area, please contact mary@theheartofthecaregiver.com for more information.
