The world is a dangerous place for Christians. Our biggest problem, though, is our own sinful hearts that are so “prone to wander” from God’s path. Many of us become wounded warriors in the daily dodging of the fiery darts of the world, our own flesh, and the devil. As a missionary, and trainer of missionaries, I’m frequently shepherding our people towards those that are qualified life coaches; qualified through training in counseling coupled with experience in the healing application of God’s Word to common problems. Compassionate Counselors, Inc. is one of the places we trust when the struggles of life get bigger than normal for our missionaries.

I have known David Edgington for fifteen years and I can wholeheartedly recommend his ministry as a compassionate and gifted counselor. His understanding of the Word of God and his discernment concerning the heart needs of man blend together to give him great insight and ability to apply the Word of God to the complex issues of life. The ministry of Compassionate Counselors is an organization you can trust for your own needs and also recommend to your friends.

My first “face to face” interaction with Dr. David Edgington was in 2004; it was somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean as we were making our way to Minsk, Belarus to teach Biblical Counseling to the students of the Minsk Bible College. Though I had not personally met Dr. Edgington at that point, we had been in communication with each other and had agreed to work together with the International Leadership Academy (a division of Campus Crusade for Christ) to provide training to young Christian leaders from the former Soviet Union. During the next several weeks in Minsk Dr. Edgington and I spent the vast majority of our time together, teaching and discussing Biblical Counseling, theology and life in general. Since our first interaction Dr. Edgington and I have had numerous conversations via phone, email, and then a few years ago, a second trip to Belarus teaching at the Bible College. Through these many hours of personal conversation and serving together, I have grown to love and appreciate Dr. Edgington. I have had significant conversations with David that provided me insight into his love for the Lord, solid commitment to the Scriptures and his competency in biblical counseling. I consider him a friend and skilled biblical counselor. I would personally encourage anyone to seriously consider Dr. Edgington as one of the best biblical counselors and instructors available.

People have problems. That’s a normal part of human life. And we do lots of things to address our problems. Unfortunately we often fail to address them at the deepest level – the level of the heart. Thus, any changes that occur are not nearly as deep and transformative as they could and should be. Compassionate Counselors is effective because they help link up people’s hearts with the One who knows our hearts and thus is in the best position to help us truly change them. I’m thankful to our Lord for their ministry and gladly recommend them.

Cornerstone Church has partnered with Compassion Counselors for more than three years in a variety of ways. More than simply a great resource for our church, David has proven himself to be a strong co-laborer in the gospel. As we have walked with David and his ministry, we have seen the Savior use him to help several of our members with everything from addiction issues, to major marital matters, to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. David’s high view of God, his Spirit-directed approach, and his commitment to using the living and active Word to illuminate heart issues are why Cornerstone Church supports Compassionate Counselors both financially and relationally. We are blessed to have such a strong partnership in the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
