Loving & Equipping

Be-Loved exists for young moms wanting to move from dependence to independence. This happens through healthy relationships. We walk alongside each mom, encouraging them to pursue their God-given ability to provide a future for their family.

Our focus is long-term transformation as each mom does the work to change their circumstances and lift themselves and their families out of poverty - them being the sole provider for their children.

Be-Loved improves the quality of life in the teen/young mom community of Amarillo by:

  • Offering life-skills and teaching the effects each decision makes for their future and that of their children.
  • Working through curriculum designed specifically for women in their current situation.
  • Connecting with local resources in the Amarillo area.
  • Pursuing a trade or degree that will provide a livable income and an overall better quality of life for the mom and child(ren).
  • Providing a store for moms to shop at with points earned through each meeting attended.

Our heart, passion, and goal is to see each mom see themselves the way that God sees them. The hope is, with the help of the Be-Loved team, they will begin to make healthy choices for themselves and their children in light of the truth.

Women who participate will receive:
  • One on one mentorship
  • Empowerment through curriculum
  • Education on life skills, child development, and local resources
  • Support pursuing a career and life goals
  • Community
  • Access to the Be-Loved Store

Mom

I joined Be-Loved because I needed to be around others going through what I was. The young women who were strangers eventually became family to me and my babies.

Mom

“I get feedback from my mentor, and she’s not someone who’s only going to tell me what I want to hear.”-

Be-Loved

Mom

“I value the ability for the mentor to navigate her relationship with her mentee without a lot of pressure of a curriculum or lessons that have to be strictly followed. It’s so great that our relationship can grow and develop naturally and really be focused on the specific needs of the mom.”

Mentor

“Through mentorship I get to pray and watch my mentee grow. It’s rewarding, like motherhood except these mommas are our peers. My mentee is more like a little sister."
