Pastoral Care

Ministering to those in hospital and hospice. Visited 35 unique patients and their families in hospital and hospice over the course of the year, ministering to them as well as to various staff members in those facilities.

Ministering in prayer. Led a young adult to Christ over the phone and provided her with resources to grow in her faith. Led a grandmother to step out in faith who was struggling to forgive, teaching her from the Bible what forgiveness is and isn’t, and how to willingly forgive someone as an act of faith, not based on feelings. God did a tremendous healing work in her that morning. Prayed with an individual going through a marital betrayal and was able to share the hope of Jesus with a non-Christian family member who was also in the room, and who ended up seeing firsthand the power of God at work in that situation. Prayed for someone with auditory nerve damage who not only received a measure of healing, but was powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit. These are just some examples of how God answered prayer in 2024 and performed the work that only He can do.

Ministering to grieving families. Met with 4 families in 2024 to minister to them in their loss and officiate the service of their loved ones.

Ministering to Christian couples. Had the honour of taking 2 young couples through pre-marriage counseling in 2024 and performing their weddings. Also began mentoring a young couple with a passion to develop new life groups for young families.

Ministering to volunteers. Finding ways throughout the year to encourage individuals and teams and support the good they are accomplishing.

Ministering to Christian men. Mentored several men on “stronghold busting” using the Freedom In Christ app. Met with an entrepreneur to pray over his new commercial building and anoint him for God’s work in the marketplace. Counseled a young business owner regarding his career options and prayed with him for God to open the right door for him and his family. Continued mentoring a young man who attends university on an athletic scholarship, via texts and phone calls, encouraging him to keep trusting the Lord and providing him with helpful resources.

These are just some of the ways the Lord has used me in 2024 to mentor, encourage and walk alongside those He has placed under my care.
