Help What Hurts
Helping others find healing, freedom, and peace is what love does. Sharing Christ with your neighbors shouldn’t be fearful or overwhelming. We equip ordinary Christians for extraordinary impact. We equip you with resources, Biblical knowledge, ministry tools, and assessment skills so that you can show your neighbors, friends, and family how Christ is the solution for anxiety, depression, anger, passivity, hopelessness, lies, addictions, self-harm, suicide, etc.
To share the life of Christ, you need reliance on Christ and basic skills and methods.
Don’t let a sense of inadequacy stop you from helping others. Christ is your adequacy. When trained to respond to hard topics, they are no longer hard topics. They are the opportunities to show others why and how they need Christ too.
Ordinary believers in the church of the books of Acts turned the world upside down.
Don’t be unprepared to respond to your or others’ next emotional and relational upheaval or setback. Without training, struggles may cause you or others to doubt Christianity’s power and miss lasting healing, freedom, and victory.
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

The Advanced Ministry Training (AMT) program is for those who believe in God’s promises and want to live victorious and share Christ with their friends, family, and neighbors.

AMT shows you who you are in Christ and how to live from His life to overcome fear, anxiety, depression, inadequacy, shame, setbacks, lack, and all relational issues.
Our unique way of presenting the gospel has dramatically changed and equipped people to live and share Christ, the hope of a meaningful and overcoming life.
