Pursuing God's leading in my life.

God has been impressing on my mind for several months that our church needs a support system for hurting and grieving people. I am currently taking a course to become a certified grief counselor and am looking into other training/programs that are already established. God has lead me to "New Hope" in Long Beach. Our pastor grew up in Long Beach and knows the woman who started this ministry, which has now become nationwide. I have also been investigating "Stephens Ministry", which is a broader program, which trains church members how to come along side anothr person for one-on-one ministry. I am praying for the right direction from God, and would appreciate any prayers for this potential ministry.
