Grace and peace! I’m Cristy Jane Veras, originally from Davao Region, Mindanao, and currently serving with YWAM Impact Philippines in Cavite.
Ministry & Academic Goal:Â Pursuing a Master of Divinity in Pastoral Counseling (90 units) to prepare for licensure in Biblical Counseling and cross-cultural ministry.
Core Passion & Scriptural Anchor:
"He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ." — Colossians 1:28
My specific passion is to teach Biblical Counseling through the Inductive Bible Study method:Â equipping believers to observe, interpret, and apply Scripture directly to life's deepest emotional, spiritual, and relational challenges.
Ministry Experience & Vision:
Building on my previous ministry in Mindanao, where I had the privilege of teaching Inductive Bible Study to young couples and training local believers in Biblical Counseling, my vision is to partner with YWAM and local churches to train leaders in inductive counseling tools, provide biblical counseling, and take the Gospel to the nations.
Financial Needs & Support Goal:Â $2,500 / Month
Transitioning from Mindanao to Luzon has brought new financial demands. To fulfill this full-time commitment, I am seeking support to help cover:
Tuition: M.Div. courses (₱2,000 per credit unit across 90 units)
Living Costs:Â Housing, utilities, food, and local transportation in Cavite
Ministry Mobilization:Â Conducting local church workshops in inductive biblical counseling, hands-on cross-cultural outreaches, and international leadership training trips
I would be so grateful for your consideration in partnering with me through prayer or financial support as God leads you. Your support directly enables me to complete my Master's studies, secure my Counselor License, serve the local church and YWAM, and step into the ministry God is calling me to.
If you feel led to partner with this ministry, please let me know how you would like to connect!
Blessings,
Cristy Jane
