Dear Friends and Partners, I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share exciting work we’re doing at Emmaus Road Counseling Center and to ask for your support during a crucial time. Nearly 18 years ago, Drs. Terry and Gayle Samples founded Emmaus Road Christian Counseling Center with a mission to provide counseling for students at Life Pacific University (formerly Life Bible College). We knew that those preparing for ministry often need emotional and mental health support, and we wanted to help. Under the leadership of Dr. Jana Plant, our mission has included private Christian schools and community members. Today, we serve: • Christian schools (K-12 and colleges) • Churches • Several organizations, including Passion LA, which empowers inner-city youth to break the cycle of poverty and develop leadership skills. Additionally, we provide training and therapy for leaders, workers, and individuals in need—often at little to no cost. Our commitment is rooted in a simple yet powerful belief: competent faith based therapy should be a human right, not a privilege. Recently, we expanded our services to support families affected by the devastating Southern California fires, offering free counseling to those in crisis. Every day, we witness lives being transformed through the work God has called us to do. However, we now face a challenge. Some of our funding was cut last year, placing us at a crossroads. We deeply believe in the value of what we do, and we are reaching out to ask for your partnership. Would you prayerfully consider supporting Emmaus Road Counseling Center with a one-time gift? https://www.emmausroadcounseling.com/donate Your generosity will enable us to continue providing life-changing counseling, compassion, and faith-filled support to those in need. Thank you for your prayers, support, and partnership in this vital mission. With gratitude and hope, Jana Emmaus Road Counseling Center (fb)
