Pastoral Work
A Ministry of Presence
We are a ministry of presence with a focus on motivating and initiating meaningful use of each individual's beliefs and attitudes in the management of their difficulties.
Life is stressful and crisis can happen at any time. The truth is that we all need someone to walk with us through life as we navigate life’s challenges. Preserved International is focused on journeying with you and provide the ministry of presence with comfort and compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
God desires your soul, spirit, and body to receive the appropriate attention, for others to be supportive and for you to thrive in all areas of your life.
With a warm and compassionate touch, we provide a space for openness to God’s invitation to work below the surface and to develop friendships that last a lifetime.
We are ready to help, support and pray with you through broken trust, grief, depression, family challenges, relational stress or crisis, different illnesses, career or ministry issues, financial problems, addictions, workplace disconnect, or church-hurt, etc.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
The Process
A ministry of presence is not counseling, it is more comprehensive. We meet mainly in person while at times utilizing virtual modes to stay connected.
Individual Help
We offer personalized help. When we connect, we get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit. You become part of the Preserve International Community. This means you are now part of the family, and we intend to care for you, walk with you through your challenges and celebrate with you when successes come your way. We connect you with experienced and trusted counselors and we offer to play the role of supporter while you obtain technical help.
How We Engage
A mixture of time spent: 1-hour appointments / 5-15 minutes check-ins / meeting in different environments, etc.
Biblical Foundation
The Scriptures have the final say in our direction with how we think, the conclusion we draw and actions we take. Our time will be governed by a biblical foundation, and we will learn to follow the word of God, the person of Jesus and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The Focus
We are experienced biblical counselors, leaders and servants who are equipped to help with a wide range of personal, relational, professional, and spiritual issues. We focus on a holistic approach to caring for the whole person with the main focus of being present in their lives.
We realize that a one-hour formal counseling session may not be enough, so we will We connect virtually, or in person - at cafes, parks, home, or our office - depending on the need and walk the journey with you. We are keenly focused on your overall spiritual and emotional health so that you may also serve others from a healthy space.
We respect your privacy, and are strictly confidential in our approach.
