If you know of people in your community, your church, or your neighborhood who could use this kind of transformative assistance, please pass along our invitation. If you have people who work for your church or organization who really need something better…but can’t make that move without specialized coaching, please share this invitation with them.
Learn more about MindSet here. We are currently accepting applications for the January 2022 cohort.
Thank you! With your help we can give hope and a bright future to people who feel stuck or trapped. Jesus noticed pain and suffering in the faces around him, and brought healing and joy with the touch of his hands. We can do that, too, if we open our eyes to those around us.
