Coach Doug begins Doctoral Program

Coach Doug has been accepted in the PhRD program in Christian Counseling at Logos Christian College and Graduate Schools.

He will also be an adjunct professor at this school, mentoring students remotely.

Our BAILOUT Plan

These are difficult financial times! Chances are you know someone who needs counseling, but can't afford it.

We want to do our part to help.

Until further notice, Growing & Healing Ministries will provide up to 3 hours of phone counseling at no charge for any new client, or any former client who has not used our services for at least a year.

No strings. No obligation. Just call 1-888-899-1923 to set it up. Or email info@growingandhealingministries.com and include your phone number.

Who do you know that would be blessed by this offer? We've done our part. Now it's time to do your part and pass it on! :)

Reverend Doan?

Coach Doug is considering ordination through Logos Global Network. Although he was formerly a Pastor for several years he choose not to be ordained at that time.

He is prayerfully considering whether to pursue being licensed, commissioned, or ordained.

This does not mean he is going to go pastor a church. He would continue his main functions of counseling and teaching.

Please join your prayers with his, if you would.

The Onesimus Connection

Bill Nichols has a counseling practice called "The Onesimus Connection," specializing in anger and sexual addiction.

Bill would like to bring on other counselors who have a similar heart and vision, but with complimentary skills and specialities. Bill has asked Coach Doug if he would be one of those counselors.

Since Coach Doug feels called to help the spouses of those with anger and addiction issues, that would be a good fit.

Please make this a matter of prayer.
