Why We Need a Discipleship Journey

Making a commitment to a discipleship journey allows women to develop deeper roots in the Gospel. This time helps them to process what they are learning from Scripture, space to grow in the desire to love God, and opportunities to practice following Jesus. We believe that when people put God’s Word into practice, they experience transformation in life.

Additionally, those who have experienced trauma and brokenness in their lives require more time to learn how to trust people and God. Healing takes time, and we want to provide unhurried space for women to find spiritual health with God and others before developing future plans in life.

Noi Welch’s Testimony

I have personally experienced what was like to be dead without Jesus, and how meeting Him brought me life. It was amazing! I want so much to tell people who are lost and dead in their souls about Him. In Jesus I have found new life, freedom, and victory! I want to share about what Jesus did for my life, but my heart also longs to train and equip people to make disciples.

I would not have come this far in life if God did not send people to come alongside me and invest in my life. They invited me into their homes and fed me with love and kindness. They showed me how to walk with God. They taught me to get up early to talk to Him, leading me to have some amazing encounters with Jesus! The Holy Spirit used them to lay a godly foundation for my life. They gave me opportunities to discover my gifts and passions to know myself and how to serve others. They challenged me to trust God. Through them, I found my true identity as a daughter of the King for the first time in my life. My desire is that The Well will do the same thing for women like so many did for me. Women who come to this Discipleship Journey will find truth, love, unity, acceptance, security, understanding, and meaning in life through Jesus. The Well will be a place where we teach, equip, and disciple women to become disciples and make disciples.

Stephanie Bridgewater’s Testimony

In 2016 I moved in to a discipleship home hoping to receive support while stopping prescription medication known as Xanax that i had become addicted to. I had lost all hope and found myself in a dark hole I couldn`t get out of on my own. During this short stay I experienced true love in a space where nothing I had said or done could change the love I felt in my heart. Although I had six months in this environment it wasn’t long enough to process all I had been thru in the last 39 years of my life. I grew up in religion and had never heard of a relationship with Jesus or understood what that looked like on a day to day basis. After leaving the program I desperately wanted to know more about relationship with Jesus and was blessed with people who came around me as a support family and welcomed me into their lives where I got to be up close and personal with them doing daily activities they sat with me and listened while I cried, fed me, held my hand and prayed with me as i walked out of the pit into a life of freedom where JESUS has restored me and thru my relationship with him relationships in my life has been restored. My heart is to share my experiences so that they may encounter my Jesus and walk in freedom with me as they share him with their friends and we heal our city.
