From Kris Swiatocho, Director

I love teaching, guiding, helping, encouraging and empowering people. Jesus teaches over and over the importance of not only speaking the truth, sharing the gospel, and leading people to Him, but also the value of discipleship. That is why it's so important to me to teach and equip others for Christ. I believe if you teach people how to fish, they not only have a way to sustain themselves but also a way to sustain the ministry God has given them.
I would love to come to your city or Church by way of Zoom or in person. Please call me at 919.434.3611 and let's reach people for Christ together! |
Mother's Day
This Sunday, for some, will either be a joyous day or one filled with sadness or anger. Each year when this holiday rolls around, pastors are feverishly preparing their sermons to honor mothers, stores are stockpiling on flowers and cards, and restaurants are being challenged to be ready for the onslaught of grayed-haired grannies. But what happens when your mom has passed on or doesn't live close by, or your relationship wasn't so great. And this holiday hurts more than it helps. Or, you are wished "Happy Mother's Day" by well-meaning church members who have no idea that you do not have kids. Their well-wishes are like a knife in your heart. Either you had a child and lost it, you could not have kids, or you never married, and now it's too late?
Well, for me, I do have a great mom, and she is visiting me this weekend so I can honor her for Mother's Day. But I know that many of my friends wished their mothers were still here. So I thank God for this precious time with her and do not take it for granted.
But for me personally, I am not a biological mom. God did not give me a husband or children as of yet. A while this could make me angry or sad, it does not. God revealed to me a long time ago how all women are mothers in different ways. Maybe we are awesome aunties, like me. I continue to help guide my nieces and nephews. Or maybe you are discipling someone. I have the honor of leading my young cousin to the Lord and meeting with her weekly to help her grow in her faith. Or maybe you watched people's kids--in the nursery, as a teacher in school or Sunday school, neighbors, friends, etc. Or maybe you have fostered, cared for, nurtured a child? You see, motherhood comes in many ways.
The scripture...Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
We all have our part in helping to raise a child. It might not be daily, but God still uses us. I look back into my own childhood and see so many women, other than my mom, that helped me grow up. Thank you, ladies, for inspiring, encouraging, and speak words of life into my life.
Happy Mother's Day, Everyone!

Testimonial: "My experience at Restoration Weekend was all and more than I anticipated. I started my weekend with something that I thought I needed to deal with but the Holy Spirit revealed what I really needed to let go of! We dug deep and more layers were peeled back, exposing some deep wounds. I experienced revelation, healing, and freedom! " —Kathy P. |

Kris Swiatocho is probably the best speaker, the most encouraging and insightful communicator to singles that I have ever heard, hands down! Kris is single and really understands singleness. She has a caring heart and insightfulness because of this. I have personally known Kris for over 10 years now. She is a wonderfully talented, funny & truly gifted communicator. Our singles love it when Kris comes to our church and loves even more when attending events that she has put together and will be leading. I have had the opportunity to work with Kris on leadership for the National Singles Labor Day Retreat in North Carolina for the past 10 years. I recommend Kris Swiatocho to you & your church as a speaker, equipper, trainer or just to encourage your singles or church. She always presents the message of the gospel in an energetic way to up-lift others and Jesus.
—Jay George, Education Pastor, Swartz Baptist Church, Swartz, LA
