Testimonials for Pathway Counseling

I have been blessed by the services Pathway Counseling Ministries offers for more than two decades. From the early years of our marriage, health issues, tackling the roller coaster of children to teenagers - to them leaving the nest! Our job changes and challenges. Then it was learning to care for aging parents, letting them go, then facing our own mortality. Charles Wise and Pathway Counseling Ministries walked this road with me, my husband and children. I am happy to financially contribute to Pathway so that others may be able to receive the care they need.

Pathway Ministries is a Christ centric resource for individuals or couples that need some Godly insight spoken into their current condition. Dr. Charles has a heart for helping people walk on the path that Lord intends and he leads by example!

My wife and I benefited greatly from his premarital counseling and have been blessed by some post marital as well. It is our privilege to share some of God’s blessings, over which we are steward, with Pathway. This allows them to minister to those who cannot currently afford to pay for counseling.

It also allows them to directly minister to UCF students through regular Bible study, prayer and worship. The pilgrimage through the mountains this year, that Dr. Charles led, will have eternal impact on those young men’s lives… and therefore, the world.

I learned of Pathways Ministries many years ago and it has been a source of comfort and strength for me during some difficult times in my life. The ministry has earned a place in my heart and I am proud to be both a supporter and a former member of its board.  

Many families have come to Pathways in times of sorrow and need. They have received comfort in their sadness and guidance to persevere through challenging times. Charles is an attentive, compassionate listener who comprehends our struggles and offers thoughtful, kind advice. I have recommended him to friends when they were undergoing trials and his counseling has helped them heal. He is also meticulous in following up to ensure that you make the changes needed to improve your life, an essential part of healing. Charles has also assisted me in how to communicate effectively with others in trying circumstances, to reveal my feelings without casting blame. As I learned, when you point your finger at another, three fingers point back at you! It is a lesson for us all.  And as 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us, God comforts us so that we can comfort others. Pathways carries out this mission.
