Some of my closest colleagues from the past do not seem to understand my ministry or how I send my professional time. I am sure it is my fault. If I were only clear in describing my life everyone would understand. So, here goes.
Part of the problem lies in the fact that I actually do a number of different things but my central focus is almost always the same. So, seen from the point of view of tasks, I multi-task.
- I often preach the gospel
- I teach in churches and para-church ministries
- I consult with Christian organizations
- I Mentor/Coach/Counsel Christian leaders
- I train Counselors
- I pray for the sick
- I write materials
- Set up small groups
- Organize counseling centers
- I travel extensively around the world to do these things
My central mission is always the same: To promote the growth and healing of Christian people and organizations
The following terms best describe my focus.
GROWTH: Disciple; Sanctify; Strengthen; Gift, Skill and Talent Development;
HEALING: Repair; Reconnect; Forgive; Set Captives Free; Restore;
The materials I write do both of these. I am a retired Clinical Counselor but I prefer to PREVENT SICKNESS, PROMOTE GROWTH and supply PEER SUPPORT.
