Reply from Dawn Samuels My DMIN Cognate Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling What is a specific ministry problem you might like to address? Problem Topic: Pastoral Care and Counseling for Singles in the Church.

As a Seventh Day Adventist Pastor, I have had the incredible privilege of traveling extensively throughout the United States and other countries, speaking to, praying for, counseling, and conducting workshops with women of all ages. However, I have noticed a growing trend in the influx of women between the ages of forty and sixty, some of whom have personally confessed to me that, due to being single, they are experiencing depression, anxiety, and other maladies related to mental instability. In my local congregation, with a recorded membership of 1,300, of which the majority are singles, it concerns me that the church lacks pastoral care and counseling. Need Assignment Help?
