  • Thank you

    Thank you for saying all these things! As a counselor, the Lord has taught me these things and I say them to people everyday. I don’t always hear all of this in the church and it was a balm of encouragement to my soul to hear you all say what the Lord has also shown me for the healing process.

I know for a fact the leadership at Living Hope Ministries genuinely loves all people, like Jesus did, from all backgrounds and their approach to ministry is a biblically centered approach that honors God’s design for mankind as written in the Scriptures and highlighted by Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament. No one is coerced or manipulat... more
