I am very passionate about how sharing the gospel and biblical discipleship can go hand in hand with mercy/social justice ministries. One way that I really enjoy bringing the two together is through counseling from a biblical perspective.

Outside of the local church I serve at, one of the ministries that I am a part of is Butterfly Ministry, which I co-lead. We reach out to women who work in prostitution. We serve the ladies through evangelism, discipleship, a drop-in center, and supporting them through the exiting process when the time is right. One of our goals in the process is also to get them connected to a local church. Butterfly prioritizes the gospel, and focuses on holistic discipleship to help the women lead transformed lives as healthy moms, productive members of society, and disciples of Christ. One can make a donation to Butterfly using the drop down menu below.

A final branch of ministry is with a South African non-profit called The Zoe Project, who I have been with for 5 years now. Through them, I counsel pregnant woman coming through the local government hospitals. I am often able to bring my faith into these counseling opportunities, and share the gospel with ladies as well as pray over them. I also teach prenatal classes to teenagers in the area. I have had the privilege to walk with women through circumstances of abuse, unemployment, miscarriage, trauma, and grief among other things–and see them come through the other side.
