Empowering the Global Church
The World Health Organization has acknowledged that professional pathways alone cannot address the global mental health crisis. The church, uniquely positioned with its global presence and biblical mandate, has the capacity to reach people in ways no other organization can. For generations, the faith community has been the hands and feet of Jesus, reaching into every corner of the earth to offer comfort and healing. Equipping the church with new tools and knowledge—within a framework of mutual respect and cooperation—is essential to address human suffering on a global scale.
This collaborative vision is the foundation of Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling® (NICC) and the NICC Institute. Our aim is to equip the historic church with contemporary tools to meet the pressing needs of our time, empowering it to continue its mission with greater effectiveness and compassion. Together, we can serve the suffering world in ways that honor both ancient wisdom and modern understanding, joining hands in a shared calling to bring light, hope, and healing.
