This
approach to ministry is patterned upon that of the Lord Jesus
Christ. His ministry was not only one which endeavored to
care for persons holistically, but also, when He sent His
disciples out it was to perform the dual ministry of preaching
and healing (see Matthew 10:7-9 and Luke 9:2) implying that
they were mandated to serve the whole person as well.
|
 |
The
Gospels which provide us with the clearest available indication
of the ministry of Jesus as He fulfilled the Will of God to
save the world, leave us with ample evidence suggesting that
the most of the people whom He was saving were sick, hurting,
anxious, demoralized, destitute, depressed, and handicapped
in these and many other ways. Consequently, the salvation
which He offered was to make them whole again.
|
 |
At
the Professional Counselling Center, we pray, dialogue, share
hurt and receive hope and help, thereby permitting the opportunity
for individuals to take adequate control of their lives and
particular situations. As a consequence, they are empowered
to make responsible choices in resolving these as evidence
of becoming whole again to the glory of God.
