“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:18-19)
The family is the main sphere of society. From the family, the future is defined, being a society with values or not. Throughout the world the family is under attack. Traditionally, the family structure is being broken through divorce, the number of marriages is decreasing and parents are neglecting their God-given responsibilities. Roles are being changed and children are growing up without emotional stability and safety.
Is there any respond?
Yes! God, who is the family and the answer! YWAM Monte das Águias, through the Family Ministerial School, believes that the Word of God contains the key to a healthy and functional family life. The Family Ministerial School has the objective of mobilizing restored and transformed families through the healing of broken and wounded relationships and also equipping them with practical skills regarding relationship, marriage, parenthood and life based on biblical principles.
This course makes part of the College of Counseling at the University of the Nations.
The College of Counseling (CNH) aims to train and mobilize followers of Christ as agents of God’s healing in areas of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational health. An important focus of our graduates is the poor and needy. Students learn an integrated biblical model of ministry that is easily adaptable to diferent cultural and social settings, providing a powerful entry into the lives of individuals and families. Our training programmes equip students in areas of biblical counseling and primary health care with ministry impacting individuals, families, communities and nations. Biblical counseling helps people encounter God to receive revelation, healing, grace and spiritual authority. Our training programmes equip counselors to help others grow in personal and relational wholeness, dealing with poor personal choices, family issues, unresolved conflict, compulsive behaviors, and the wounds of injustice. Focused schools and seminars address issues relating to working with families, children and addictive behaviors.
