About

Spiritual counseling is both a formal and informal aspect of FHLGM's ministries alongside the scheduled teaching and leadership development programs. Wherever the FHLGM team goes, we meet individuals in need of counsel and prayer. Many of them have been traumatized from their experiences living in war-zones or are struggling to cope with great hardship and suffering. However, in almost every context, trained counselors are either unavailable or there is a stigma attached to counseling, creating a great, pent-up need, which our staff is often uniquely positioned to address.

When requested, Tim provides spiritual life coaching to select leaders, with the goal of helping them grow deeper in their relationship with God and let God lead them more fully and fruitfully in every aspect of their lives. Ultimately, in helping Christian ministers, leaders, and other motivated people of influence, coaching is designed to strengthen churches, ministries, and organizations and to further the Kingdom of God.

In Chartres, France, Jill provides spiritual guidance for individuals and small groups within the context of one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. There, Jill is able to inspire and guide others by reflecting with them on the stained-glass windows, the sculptures, the labyrinth, agnd other aspects of the architecture.

What Participants Are Saying

  • “I truly blessed to have you as my spiritual father. You always bring questions with solutions…I worry for some friends here. They really struggle with spiritual issues. As you had said before in our class, we need counseling here. As I had seen, sometimes we need our teacher encouragement… But it seems like we fall apart without that… We are truly blessed to have you”

    C.M., KHTS student

  • “I finished praying. Whenever I pray to God. It makes me peaceful.”

    K.H.A, Myanmar refugee living in Thailand (new Christian and his first time praying on his own after Tim’s guidance)

  • “I appreciate every single second we spent together.”

    Y.B.D.H

  • “I have experienced many advantages and benefits by having spiritual coaching. I learn more about how to have relationship with God and know how to comfort others with the comfort we have received from God. And then, we can share together and encourage one another through our spiritual coaching group and help the weakness of our spiritual need that we are feeling. When we have silence prayer, allows me to listen to God, and to be conscious of God within me. At that time, I feel like this is a precious time for me to progress my prayer life.”

    Former MIT Student

  • "Thank you very much Dr. Tim! You are always my mentor, spiritual father, and a blessing for me! Because of your help and support, I can contribute and serve for my people and my community!"
