"In the desert place of my retirement, God came into my life in a new way. He invited me first into spiritual direction and then to Journey Partners...Both have been transforming experiences for me. I have received affirmation and support form wonderfully diverse group of Journey Partners, discovered new ministry opportunities through my church's Stephen Ministry, and found courage to express my voice as a writer and speaker."  Karen Brown, Retired Rehabilitative Services Administrator, Madison, MS
