New Support Group Ministry
|
For over twenty years, God used me in the cultural battle for healthy sexuality by doing programs in churches in schools. Help people avoid the problems of sex before marriage, abortion, pornography, and sexual harassment by teaching them to make good choices in the first place. The best way to fix those problems was to never go there in the first place.
These programs were done through non-profit organizations and associations with others doing similar work: Webb Chapel Church of Christ, Oklahoma Christian University, Aim For Success, Just Say YES, Ultimate Escape, and Elevate Youth.
In June of this year, God opened the doors for me to do pastoral counseling and life coaching with individuals and couples who are in the middle of struggles of pornography, infidelity,
Since then over twenty-five people on four different continents have booked over 170 hours of one-one-one sessions with me!
The opportunity to begin this work as well as its continuation is the result of a partnership with Power of Two Counseling and Coaching Center in Richardson, Texas. Their coaching program via phone, Skype, FaceTime, and Google Chat allow me to offer coaching as a follow up to all of my speaking programs no matter where they are located.
Now we announce another new program!
Beginning January 7, 2015, we will be offering support groups.
My wife, Angela Tooley, and I began attending Celebrate Recovery in early 2013 to prepare to add support groups to our ministry. We wanted ongoing support for those seeking to stay away from their previous struggles with pornography, infidelity, and other sexual issues. Little did we know that God wanted to do some amazing things in our own lives and marriage along the way!
In May of this year, the Richardson East Church of Christ agreed to host and support this work. We began right away to train and prepare for this work.
This January 7, after almost two years of preparation, we start our first groups.
Celebrate Recovery is not just about sexual issues. It helps any hurt, habit, or hang-up: alcohol, drugs, eating, grief, financial issues, victims of abuse, co-dependency, marital issues, self-harm, and any other hurt, habit, hang-up. The material uses the 12-step approach but has adapted each step to be based on the Bible and a relationship with Jesus Christ. If you are in the area, come and join us. If not, please be in prayer for this new effort. If you have any questions, email us. Angela Tooley, Women's Ministry Leader, at atooley@carechurch.org or Eric Tooley, Men's Ministry Leader, at etooley@carechurch.org.
