Background
Last summer I took a much needed Sabbatical after over 15 years of ministry. During that time the Lord surprised me and redirected my path. He highlighted my gifting and passion as a shepherd and counselor. The result is that I am in the process of building up a counseling and care ministry. I will be able to utilize my counseling training and license as well as years of pastoral experience to help others. My main focus is to care for ministry leaders and pastors, but I am open to working with anyone.
The Goal
The result of this is what I am calling The Becoming Whole Center. The Becoming Whole Center exists to come alongside people to facilitate healing and wholeness so that they can live and lead from a place of health and sustainability for the long term.
Three Ways to Help
I am writing because we have been in some kind of counseling, discipling or care relationship in the past. I trust that this was a beneficial experience. As a way to pay it forward I was wondering if you would consider helping me in three specific ways.
1. Referrals:
If you are personally looking for counseling / care or know someone who is I would be grateful if you could pass along my info.

Email: justin@thebecomingwholecenter.com or info@thebecomingwholecenter.com

2. Testimonies:
Secondly, having testimonies or reviews are extremely helpful. If you would be willing to write a 2-3 sentence testimony about your experience that would be amazing. You can reply to this email or fill out this form. Please indicate if you are comfortable with me including your first name or if you would prefer to keep it anonymous or under another name.
3. Help provide scholarships:
Thirdly, my goal is to provide affordable quality care. The rate for licensed counselors is $125-$200 per session. Some will not be able to pay that amount to get the care they need. This is especially true of many who are in ministry, my primary focus. I believe people should invest in their own soul care, but finances should not be an obstacle to getting the care they need. My goal is to provide $15,000 in scholarship funds for 2023-2024. I also provide other services that could be supplemented as well (mentoring, spiritual direction, coaching, groups, intensives, and some reimbursable expenses). I have partnered with Mission Together to help raise these funds and provide accountability. If you are interested in helping in this way you can give a one time gift or recurring gift here.
Thank you!
Thank you for considering these ways in which you can help.
