Family Essentials
Executive Director

Building Strong Loving Families
and Churches Around the World

Families and pastors across the world are facing pressures they were never trained to handle. Many are struggling, overwhelmed, or lacking the practical tools needed to strengthen their homes and lead their churches with confidence.

Family Essentials equips pastors, leaders, and families in more than 60 countries with biblical principles, practical tools, and relational mentoring that bring healing, restoration, and generational transformation.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING

My goal is to engage and encourage pastors and leaders through training workshops (virtual or in person), one-on-one discipleship and video classes.
Then these leaders will train others in their areas to multiply leaders who mulitiply others.

FAMILY COACHING

The purpose of family coaching is to strengthen and empower individual and family wellbeing.

I bring an educational component to strengthen individuals, couples, and doing family life together.

PASTORAL COUNSELING

I work with pastors and churches by teaching pastoral counseling, family and couples education and training them in Triage Pastoral Counseling so they can help their members, staff and communities.
