BeFriender Ministry is a national, ecumenical non-profit organization that provides leadership training and ongoing support for a listening ministry of care and support in churches, hospitals, senior living communities, or other organizations. Since the early 1980s, BeFrienders have been offering skilled pastoral care, creating caring connections, and providing a safe space for individuals to share their stories and fears with compassionate listeners.
Through their ministry, BeFrienders aim to combat loneliness, isolation, and provide comfort to those in need, including individuals with aging parents suffering from dementia, patients with life-threatening illnesses, and abused women seeking nonjudgmental support. By fostering hospitality, relationship, and intentional listening, BeFrienders create an environment where grace, vitality, and love can flow, ultimately transforming both the BeFrienders and those they listen to.
