God is strengthening and unifying his church in the area of counseling. For too long, churches have shirked its responsibility in caring for its members as they struggle with life. Churches have allowed the modern therapeutic world to diagnose and deal with the problems of life and as a result, ministry leaders have lost perspective and confidence in helping those in need. But a growing number of churches are seeing how the Word of God speaks directly to the issues of life and how the gospel transforms lives through the face-to-face, life-on-life ministry of the Word known as counseling.
God has been stirring the hearts of leaders in the biblical counseling field with a common mission to strengthen local churches, educational organizations, Christian counseling centers, and other Christian ministries by promoting excellence in biblical counseling as a means to accomplish compassionate outreach and effective discipleship. Such synergy has resulted in a developing group called the Biblical Counseling Coalition, which is gathering for a summit meeting in Chicago on May 3-4, 2010.
Sojourn Pastor Robert Cheong has been invited to take part in this exciting meeting. Please pray for God to pour out His wisdom and grace to all those involved and for God to unify the leaders with vision and mission. Listen to an audio interview with Pastor Robert about the Biblical Counseling Coalition and about Sojourn Counseling’s Informational meeting next Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 6:30pm at the Mid-town campus. Register for info meeting to see how you can serve in Sojourn Counseling.
