Brevard Christian Counselors Association

A wonderful gathering of professional, lay and pastoral Christian counselors met this morning at the Tabernacle Community Church in Melbourne from 8AM to 9:30AM

After a time of networking we heard from Roger Wilson, Elder at the Tab. Roger has been doing counseling for years (though not much lately). He exhorted us from 1 Corinthians 12, helping us to understand, expect and depend upon God the Holy Spirit to empower each of us with the faith, wisdom, knowledge etc. that is needed for each client situation we encounter.

Additionally, Pam Fletcher, LMHC, at some time in the near future, will be doing an extensive CEU training on “Anger” sponsored by the Tabernacle. We will send more information along as we get it.  To contact Pam about counseling or Anger management training please contact her at 749-3589.

 Sarah Ledbetter (243-5803) is looking for opportunities to spread the word about the Eckerd Mentoring Program for children of prisoners with churches and organizations.

The meeting was closed and bathed in prayer as we broke into groups of 2 to pray for and encourage one another.

Our next gathering will be a networking breakfast at the Cracker Barrel Viera/Suntree from 8AM-9AM on Thursday June 12th.

Until then, be blessed,

Jean

Thursday morning 12/13/07 at 8:00 there will be a planning/networking meeting at the Cracker Barrel located at the Wickham road exit off I-95. The purpose of the meeting will be to network as well as to discuss plans for the September 2008 The Father’s Heart Christian Counseling Conference.
The purpose of the conference is 2 fold:

1. It is to give the body of Christ an opportunity to put a face with the various Christian counseling resources available in Brevard County.

2. It is to provide opportunity for professional/pastoral/lay counselors to receive training, especially CEU training.

If you would like more information about the conference or attending the meeting please contact Jean LeStourgeon at 321-720-8878.

I am excited about what God has in plan for the Brevard Christian Counselors Conference tentatively scheduled for September 2008.
