LEARN MORE ABOUT PASTORAL COUNSELING
We offer pastoral counseling ministry at The Sound of Deliverance Ministries International, where we seek to provide Biblically-based, Christ-centered, pastoral/lay counseling while addressing many everyday life issues. Our ministry team consists of pastoral and lay counselors.
In this kind of discipleship process, the Holy Spirit, not the pastoral/lay counselor, is the agent of individual change-provided one cooperates with Him. We aim to present God’s plan for personal change amid one’s circumstances by utilizing helping skills, prayer, Scripture, and spiritual/Biblical principles.
