Hey Facebook family! I want to celebrate and highlight a ministry that I have been partnering with for 26 years! Equipping ministries international or EMI has been a life-changing experience for me as a leader and as a person who cares about personal growth, interpersonal relationships And how to build deep connection. The tools that I have learned from this ministry gave me the privilege and opportunity to become a certified teacher, as well as a facilitator of some amazing life-changing classes. I have used and practice these skills and have even brought these life-changing classes abroad in the work that I do.
What’s so amazing about this ministry is that EMI for the past 40 years has trained churches in church leaders around the world for the past 40 years and now MI is targeting folks who want to improve their communication skills as well as learning how to deepen connections and this is called “the human project“ Yesterday I had to privilege of facilitating a class called deepening connections, and I’m just amazed of the hunger of folks who really want to develop healthy, deep meaningful connections that will be lasting. It was an honor, and a privilege to serve as a facilitator for their experience. I believe that this amazing ministry truly reflects the heart of God and the love of Jesus in this turbulent environment that we are experiencing this ministry truly reflects the kingdom of heaven on earth. I am so grateful and so honored to be a part of this amazing team all my love to you guys. Thank you so much for what you do.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been serving in the ministry for the past, 40 years. In my 40 years of ministry the Lord gave me a vision to start a nonprofit organization so I started a ministry in 1999 called “heart of the matter ministries international“ the calling and purposes of what I do is to help equip, churches, leaders, families, and individuals who are broken. Please look at this powerful testimony. It really gives expression of my mission and purpose of coming alongside the broken and hurting. As a growth and development ministry it is so important for people to recognize what is hidden in their hearts that prohibits healthy growth and development. I ran across this TikTok video. it is so powerful and speaks directly to why our ministry exist enjoy!
