Local Christian Author and Minister Offers Solutions That Help Create a Purposeful Life

Aug. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Orlando, FL  –  Gail F. Gardner, Senior Pastor of The Ingathering Christian Fellowship, in Orlando, Florida, announces the addition to her ministry that will now include workshops designed to address the impact of mental & emotional health challenges, and implement methods for breaking abuse cycles that can hinder spiritual growth.

These workshops are being provided to churches, civic groups, and women’s organizations, free of charge. “Because we recognize life’s difficulties that contribute to mental and emotional health challenges, we are better able to provide a platform of practical tools to demonstrate that God has a purpose for every life,” notes Gail F. Gardner, Founder and CEO, Woman to Woman Global Mentorship Network and RAPHA! Counseling Services and Empowerment Institute.  

As a pastoral counselor with more than twenty-five years experience in ministry and church leadership, the highly acclaimed author, entrepreneur, and bible scholar is increasingly becoming known for her no-nonsense approach to working with faith-based and community groups. Gail’s passion to create greater balance and healthy relationships has taken her as far away as South Africa, offering principles and strategies of character building, empowerment, spiritual recovery, and living a purposeful life.

A welcomed addition to Gail’s toolbox of counseling resources is her upcoming Internet talk radio show, “Thriving Beyond Abuse.” Discussions will include timely topics uniquely integrated into church teachings, such as: the impact of mental and emotional illness, support groups, counseling, and mentorship. “During the last decade of my ministry, I’ve noticed an alarming increase in the rate of need for Christian counseling,” she notes. The program will be broadcast through the host page at http://blogtalkradio.com/gail-f-gardner.
