All families and individuals will at some point facing situations that will need someone else to intervein and this is not deference to our congregation or a member who face crises of different kinds; conflicts, illness or death wish is inevitable and the affected families and individuals will need to be comforted; married couples will sometimes experience conflicts that will need to be resolved; illness in the congregation often requires pastors to do hospital or home visits. In addition, there are other issues which arise from time to time which require the pastor’s intervention. For all of these, our Church is well prepared to assist those affected in the communities and the whole congregation.
All marriages will encounter conflict at some stage in life. For some, it is a disagreement or misunderstanding on some issues (often money, children, unfaithfulness) but, it may be more serious, even to the point where partners may threaten each other for divorce or violence. We have developed a Biblical counseling programs to help families and individuals to overcome such situations.
Conflicts in marriages are inevitable and can result from past experiences, faulty examples in their own families. And misinterpretation of what a good marriage should look like, or possibly the couple has the wrong impression about marriage “or, they accepted advice from friends who do not understand the biblical principles of marriage and reconciliation.” They might want to repent and change, but they do not know-how.
In case of illness or physical complications happened among members of the community or congregation or any unwell needs help. Whether at home or have been admitted to the hospital. We have a team ready to execute a friendly/Spiritual visit to assist a hospitalized patient or a sick person at home. The Church will also provide the family with a series of counseling if needed.
Our role is to identify the mistaken ideas and practices that are causing families problems. Next is to help the family or individual implement biblical solutions from God’s Word, clearly communicating the answers in a way that both the husband and wife understand the expectations, give as much comfort as needed to the sick person and the family, and offer them prayers. We provide biblical counseling to individuals and families, and we teach by encouraging them to apply biblical terms when discussing habits and behaviors instead of using psychological language.
No marriage, no family, no person, and no matter how troubled, is beyond hope or the grace of God. The couple/family or individuals must challenge that misbelief and believe that in Christ, there is hope and always the ability to change (1 Cor. 6:9-11).
The goal is to help the couple, the families, and individuals to glorify God in their marriage, families, and lives by increasing communication, confidence, and hope that will lead to intimacy and growth as individuals, as a family of faith, and as a trustworthy couple. As they work toward glorifying God in their lives, they will reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church.
