By the Brook is a weekend created especially for moms raising children or caring for loved ones with disabilities or chronic illness. For the past 18 years, Rising Above Ministries has hosted this meaningful weekend, providing a place where these incredible women can step away from the daily demands of caregiving and simply breathe.
No matter where you are in the world, you're invited to experience the encouragement, hope, and community of By the Brook from the comfort of your home.
Join special needs moms from around the globe on Saturday, October 10 for By the Brook Virtual, a one-day online event featuring the inspiring sessions from the By the Brook 2026 Retreat Experience, held in June.
Throughout the day, Becky Davidson and friends will host the virtual gathering live on Zoom Webinar, creating opportunities to connect, laugh, encourage one another, and build community. Interactive chat features will allow you to "talk" with other special needs moms from around the world as you watch, reminding you that you are never alone on this journey.
Registration is just $20 and includes:
