Become a Steward
A steward is a committed follower of the Lord who serves others by building relationships with families facing medical challenges, offering encouragement, prayer, and Gospel-centered hope. They walk alongside these families with compassion and consistency, helping meet needs and reflect God’s love in meaningful ways.
“For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the proof provided by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone.”
2 Corinthians 9:12-13
Stewardship
A steward is someone who loves the Lord and wants to serve Him by loving others. Stewards working with Love Big Love Well should fully agree with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.
​
Stewards will connect with families walking through hard seasons caused by a medical diagnosis. Stewards will build relationships in order to reduce the isolation caused by a diagnosis, provide encouragement rooted in Scripture, speak truth and hope centered in the Gospel, and help LBLW assess the needs of the families we serve.
​
Stewards should be faithfully walking with the Lord and able to comfortably share the Gospel in part or in its entirety, be comfortable praying with and for families we serve, and able to follow through on the commitments they make to families.
​
By committing to a family walking through an isolating diagnosis, stewards should expect to develop friendships with families. Walking through a medical diagnosis with a family can bring many emotions and stewards may witness hard situations that impact them for a lifetime. But, prayerfully, the positive impact on families and the kingdom of God will have an eternal impact.
​
Stewards will work within a small team so that this commitment does not become overwhelming and the whole family can be ministered to. While this should not be a burdensome task, there is a certain time commitment involved, as with any new friendship, and this should be considered before becoming a steward.
​
Serving as a steward can take many forms, and each act of care is shaped by the unique needs of the family you walk alongside. This may look like spending time with the family, showing up at extracurricular activities, sharing fun moments to build trust, delivering LBLW care packages, sending cards, or making phone calls. Most importantly, it means being present - engaging in meaningful conversations with children and parents about God's love whenever the Holy Spirit opens the door. Every expression of care, big or small, becomes a tangible reminder of His compassion.
"Spending time with levi helped me step out and see the bigger picture. Levi had the best perspective of eternity. We're supposed to live for Jesus."

"I didn't expect that God could work on my heart and change my life through Levi."
​
"I saw what it meant to have a child-like faith and be fearlessly and peacefully devoted to God."
​
"I will forever be grateful and touched; and impacted by him and the friend he was to me."
​
"Don't limit what God can do to you through these kids. God chose you for a reason and it will change your life."
We knew the deep pain the Hines family was walking through and prayed for them often. As Link entered hospice, the community rallied to fulfill a simple wish. When we learned how much joy a Golden Retriever had brought him, we worked together to bring Blaze home.
​
We were humbled to watch the Lord provide so tenderly and to see their faith sustain them through unimaginable sorrow. This is the heart of Love Big Love Well—stepping into suffering with spiritual and tangible support so families never walk alone.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God”
- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
