John's Westminster Biblical Counseling

I am raising funds for my studies at Westminster Theological Seminary. I am working on my Master of Arts in Counseling. The degree is 61 total credits, each credit being $675. I have 50 credits left, meaning I have to raise $33,750. I was initially drawn to Westminster because of the holistic approach WTS has towards Biblical counseling. A person is multi-dimensional, and every dimension is closely connected to the other aspects of the person. This plays into the counseling room. Furthermore, through the four courses I have taken so far through CCEF and one term at Westminster, I have been deeply convicted and learned so much in just a few months. The reformed theology of the school and the direct application this theology has on the person has been a robust part of the curriculum so far.

My desire to go into some form of ministry began in Ghana back in 2019. Upon my second visit in 2023, I realized I had a passion and gift for teaching the Word and exhorting others in the faith. This was further reinforced through my job at the time as a personal trainer, as I not only helped people physically, but found myself being asked to counsel other people in their struggles. This did not weigh me down but rather inspired me to change carrier paths and pursue Biblical counseling full time.

I long to come alongside people, pointing them to the living God who created them. Through careful prayer, counsel from my elders, and much research, I believe God is leading me into vocational Biblical counseling. Thank you for your partnership in this endeavor!
