Mark & Monique Jackson
Mark and Monique met in his home town of Sydney, Australia after years of Mark praying for his wife (it’s quite a story).

Shortly after getting married, the Lord led them to move and work with Ellel Ministries in the UK for a little over two years.  Since then, they have relocated to and currently line in Ontario, Canada which is Monique’s home land.

Mark is an IT specialist with a background in Christian counseling, coaching and discipleship.  Monique is a registered practical nurse with years of experience in nursing and healthcare.  They have been valued members of the LifeSpring International Ministries family for over three years.

 

AfterCare of LifeSpring International Ministries

People contact our ministry with crisis situations that need immediate attention. Crisis care is the thrust of our Personal Advocacy Sessions. However, many of these crisis situations could have been avoided if the person had known some foundational principles that would help to strengthen their relationship with the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. In response to this need, we have developed AfterCare.

AfterCare provides compassionate and effective services through prayer, counseling, and teaching. We minister according to divine design, teaching first how we were created by our Father to live: Spirit, Soul & Body.  We depend on the resources of heaven for freedom for our clients. 

Through LifeSpring’s Personal Advocacy Sessions, we become aware of the damage that has been done to ourselves and our bloodlines.  Many are suffering through various trials and injustices, some self-inflicted and some inflicted upon them by others.  The good news is that no situation or circumstance is too difficult for Jesus.  He knows you! He loves you! You are special to Him! 

AfterCare Ministry is NOT the same as Personal Advocacy.  Personal Advocacy sessions provide the freedom to experience the rewards that come from making better choices and receiving restored opportunities in your life. They release you from the bondages that have held you and your family captive for generations.  Often there is more work to do after your Personal Advocacy session. AfterCare is the next step in your journey to healing and restoration.

AfterCare ministry empowers you through the guidance of the Holy Spirit to identify those areas of your life where change in mindset and behavior need to occur.  We work together with you to help you recognize your underlying problems, fully realize your strengths and help you adjust to a new, healthier lifestyle through wise and practical counseling. 

At AfterCare, we desire to create a comfortable and safe environment in which our clients feel loved, honored and accepted regardless of where they come from, what they have done or what they have suffered.

AfterCare Ministry offers classes, personal counseling and group counseling.    

Personal Advocacy sessions are NOT offered here.  

We deal with the desire to change mindsets and behaviors with the help of Holy Spirit.

Why do you require "homework" after a Counseling or a Group Counseling session has been scheduled?

Homework is required to prepare your heart to receive what the Holy Spirit has planned for you.  He prepares you for the session so that you will trust the process and gain results. 

What does the "homework" for Individual Counseling or Group Counseling Session consist of?

Read, pray & journal about Psalm 139 -The Passion Translation.  Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you about this passage of scripture.  He will illuminate at different times a verse that he wants you to meditate upon. Do this each day before your session.  

 
Only one hour sessions are available. 
  • A second and subsequent 1-Hour follow-up session is recommended and the frequency can be discussed with Jen.

  • Please do not book subsequent sessions on the same day or closer than 1 week together. This gives your soul time to acclimate to new conditions that come from the ministry within the previous session and time to complete any homework.
  • Please note that your 1-Hour appointment can not be turned into a 1.5-hour appointment later or vice versa. This is because appointments are being booked all around your appointment time, and we can not make the change in the system. 

What about cancellations or No-show clients? What is your protocol?
  • NO SHOW POLICY: We do not reschedule an appointment for a No-Show client for any reason and 100% of the fee for that appointment is forfeited. We do not refund class fees when a student does not show up for a class to which they are enrolled.

  • You are booking a professional Pastoral Service with us, please honor that alignment.

  • You are employing our counselors and their valuable time whether you show up or not.

  • Please make sure you know how to connect through Zoom, and at what time your appointment is scheduled, so that your scheduled appointment takes place.

  • The scheduling system we use will remind you via email one day in advance of your appointment and will reflect the time zone you choose as your time zone.

  • We are not responsible if you choose the wrong time zone.

  • International friends, make sure you choose your correct time zone.

  • All Confirmation and Reminder emails come from CoachAccountable, search your inbox (including spam/junk) for this email address to help you find our emails.

  • PLEASE make sure that you see our Confirmation Email immediately after booking an appointment. If you do not see it, it will be in a spam, junk, promotions, or forums folder. 

  • We are not responsible for missed appointments because you could not find the Confirmation or Reminder Email from CoachAccountable (our scheduling software service).

To find out more information to frequently asked questions, please visit our FAQ page.

A key element in successful resolution of issues in these sessions is the willingness of the participant to repent for themselves and their generations and be honest with those ministering to you. The more willing we are to repent, the more things can change in your situation.
