International Ministry

Supporting Pastors, Missionaries & their families

Before sending out his disciples, Jesus warned them of all the struggles they would face. In this day, the struggles continue and the opposition in God's work can be felt by everyone. Those who serve God on the mission field or in their churches may feel lonely, overwhelmed, confused, tired, and not sure who to talk to about the difficulties they face.

Conversar offers confidential and compassionate services for those in the work of the Lord around the world. After an initial 30 minute consultation and evaluation of fit, we offer 4-6 sessions at no cost for full-time workers and, if necessary, subsequent sessions at a discounted price.

Please complete the following application, which is completely confidential, and we will be in contact with you.

Supporting Congregations Around the World

The vast majority of pastors around the world are forced to work full time for their personal and family support. This leaves them with limited time to dedicate to each member of the congregation and to ministry leaders in counseling and discipleship. In addition, pastors are limited to the amount of quality time they are able to spend with family.

How can Conversar support my congregation?

Conversar exists to ease the pastoral burden by offering your church members the process of Guided Conversations for the purpose of supporting spiritual growth and personal development. It is worth mentioning that the services of Conversar is by no means a substitute for the active ministry of the pastors in people's lives. However, the Guided Conversations serve as one more tool to support the goal of building the church of Christ.

What we are not…

We must also clarify that the Guided Conversations are in no way intended to replace the psychological therapy that a licensed professional can offer for cases involving mental illness. How can I know what type of help a person needs? One of the purposes for the free initial consultation will be to make a simple assessment of the client's needs and goals. The pastor of the church where the client is a member should also complete a form with their observations and recommendations.

Confidentiality

The confidentiality of the Guided Conversations between the facilitator and the client is of utmost importance. Conversar recognizes that confidentiality is one of the values that makes this process a safe place where people can go without fear of being marked or marginalized by people within their organization while receiving guidance based on Scriptural truth and the work of the Holy Spirit. However, there is an exception to the rule of complete confidentiality. The client will receive and must sign a confidentiality agreement that explains that the only way that confidentiality should be broken is if there is a risk of physical harm or risk of life to the client or someone else. If this happens, the facilitator will contact the pastor, leader or family member that the client entered as their Emergency Contact.
