What is GEM and what is our mission?

Great Exchange Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit ministry and faith-based service provider offering coaching, biblical counseling, conferences, and transformational ministry services designed to glorify God and empower the church of Jesus Christ to walk in their God-given purpose.

What makes GEM distinctive?

Great Exchange Ministries, Inc. seeks to help individuals, families, leaders, churches, and organizations grow in Christ and with others.

GEM wants to help you become all that the Lord desires for you to be and fulfill God’s plan for your life. While it is true that we all face challenges, some of them heavy, it is also true that we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, who loves us! There is nothing we can’t overcome in Jesus!

Your Heavenly Father doesn’t just want you to survive; He wants you to thrive! The issue many believers have is they don’t know how to overcome and move ahead. They need practical answers! GEM provides that!

GEM utilizes a biblical and proven approach to helping others experience transformative growth in Christ.

The “Five Keys to Freedom” make this a reality:

  • Discover areas of personal bondage and find real freedom

  • Understand how identity in Christ empowers transformation

  • Learn how to hear the voice of God and develop genuine intimacy with the Lord

  • Develop Christlike character that builds confidence

  • Embrace the empowering of the Holy Spirit for victorious living

Romans 12:2 says that we are to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. GEM creates a personalized plan for each individual to make this a reality as biblical truths are applied to specific areas of life.
