Neighbors Café is seeking organizations such as churches who will provide a cooking team (or teams) for this effort, committing to serve on a specific day or days each week or month. A fully equipped commercial kitchen is available for meal preparation. Each organization is responsible for providing the food for their meal.

The Latest News... The Concho Valley Biblical Counseling Center celebrated one year of ministry in April 2018. The ministry has grown quickly, confirming the great need for Biblical counseling services.

First Year Statistics... In this first year, 208 individuals were reached, and 122 family units were helped in the 812 counseling sessions that were held. Two six-week Bible Studies were held, one on Depression and the other on Stress. In all, thirty people completed the Studies.

Monthly Report... CVBCC had opportunity to provide 101 counseling sessions and welcome 16 new intakes during the month of May 2018. That is 101 hours of helping individuals and families find God and gain Biblical insight for their specific need. The CVBCC distributed $690.00 in reduced rate sponsorships in May, providing vital assistance to people regardless of their financial situation.

Sponsorship Fund... There are two challenges CVBCC faces as a ministry. One is the overhead costs, covered exclusively by donations. The second is the need for Partners for the CVBCC sponsorship fund for those who cannot afford the cost of the care they need. To schedule a partnership conversation or contribute to either of these funds contact us at 325-234-5599 or email cvbcc17@gmail.com
