Welcome

to Equipping Hearts for the Harvest, a non- profit 501(c)3 ministry. We are happy to provide education about addiction and other life controlling problems that is Biblical- as well as firmly grounded in an understanding of Physiology, The Brain and Neuroscience.

Equipping Hearts trains workers, leaders and churches to serve the addicted community and hurting people worldwide. We have worked with numerous students and leaders from Africa, The Middle East, Asia, North America, South America, Europe and Australia. As missionaries we welcome the opportunity to serve you- as you serve the needs of hurting people worldwide.

Our Christ- centered perspective offers students a comprehensive approach to addictions and life controlling behaviours, events, experiences, people and substances (BEEPS) that is rooted in both Bibilcal and Clinical experience. When students learn to recognize the spiritual, physiological, developmental and brain issues related to complex life controlling problems, they are able to creatively design effective ministry strategies that are both scriptural and practically sound.

Working with Dr. Jim Wilder, we have developed a new, innovative approach to recovery called Thriving: Recover Your Life. Thriving is a solution- centered approach to recovery that helps participants overcome the devastation of addictions, trauma, abuse, painful relationships and spiritual dryness- through the power of joy. Scripture and recent advances in neuroscience both confirm that the strength necessary to overcome the destruction from painful life issues comes from joyful relationships.

In Thriving, participants learn and practice new joy and relationship building skills with God and others that empower their recovery. Participants who are seeking healing from trauma and addictions- and those who simply want to grow in Christ- form a community of believers that are empowered by joy. As their relationships with God and others become increasingly powered by joy- and not fear- their lives and relationships are transformed as they mature together. Their lives- and the lives of those they love- are Thriving!
