The Belief Bear Journey
I’m Kimberly, and Belief Bears was first whispered into my heart while I was on mission in Kenya in July 2025. I had never experienced love, joy, generosity, and hospitality the way I did there. Something in that place — in the people, in the way they lived, in the way they loved — changed me forever.
While I was there, I kept asking God, “How can I be part of sharing Your love and encouragement for the world-wide people who need You? How can my one small voice make an impact in a world that needs so much?” And in that quiet, holy way He speaks, the whisper in my heart grew louder: “I can take one small voice and turn it into a ROAR.”
At first, I just wanted something to remember my first international mission — a simple keepsake. That desire became my very first bear, Mission Mate. I had no idea that one small idea would grow into a nonprofit organization with multiple bear designs, a clear mission and vision, and a team of some of God’s most beautiful people working together to bring comfort and hope to others.
But that’s how God works. He plants a seed and says, “Watch what I can do with this.”
What started as a quiet idea in my heart has grown into something bigger than me — something God continues to breathe life into. I’ve watched children cling to their bears during scary moments. I’ve seen adults hold them close during grief, recovery, or transition. And every time, I’m reminded that God uses ordinary things to do extraordinary work.
Why We Do What We Do
Our passion for Belief Bears isn’t just about a product—it’s about the purpose. It’s about letting God take something small and turning it into a roar of encouragement, faith, and light. We heard Him say, “Watch what I can do with this”.
Life can get heavy. People face battles others never see. Sometimes we just need a small sign that God is still near. A prayer. A touch. A word. Or even a soft little bear that whispers encouragement. Belief Bears were created to be that small, comforting voice in a loud, hurting world.
