Healing and growth happens in the social context. We help by nurturing an environment of genuinely loving relationships. If you are a caretaker or someone who simply wants to love others better, we offer you encouragement, training, and support.
As a body of many members united in Christ by one Holy Spirit, we offer “member care” (valued up to $250USD or 20000TSH per session depending on your local market), subsidized—according to need—by other members of the body.
Establishing a counseling ministry to comfort, heal, and grow God’s people with His Biblical truth in a secular world is near impossible.
Quite frankly, it requires a miracle—an act of God. But if you’re here, that means He sent you—a miraculous member of the body of Christ!!!
+ Pray God the Father provides His grace-filled provision (financial/emotional) and merciful protection (spiritual/physical).
+ Pray God the Son sends contributors of talent/treasure 1x or on an ongoing basis (e.g., group sponsors, individual partners, counselors, lawyers, accountants, web developers, artists, marketers, etc.).
+ Pray God the Spirit comforts us with His peace so that we can comfort others.
If you represent a group (biological family, church family, parachurch ministry, corporate/class small group, or community service organization), care for your constituents’ spiritual and physical (body/brain) well-being through a Biblical counselor. Bring on a part-time counselor-in-residence to nurture ongoing growth or subsidize set sessions to heal wounds as your members need.

If you are a person who has a heart for helping others in need (someone you love or those afflicted by issues that you have been affected by), consider offering a one-time gift, on a session or counselee basis, or an ongoing daily/weekly/monthly commitment for any specific counseling need (i.e., all marriage therapy, any counselees with bipolar disorder, etc.).
Feeding 5000 families with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, or subsidizing costs as high as 250USD or 20000TSH sounds impossible. But God has done this through our individual partners who generously refresh others by setting aside anywhere from 2₵/day to $5000/year!
