Hello friend, I’m glad you’re here…

My name is Paul Crews.

May I share my heart with you for a minute?

My heart is for you… God’s servant!

You may be a pastor, church staff member, church leader, Christian counselor, Christian Life Coach, church ministry leader, non-profit or business leader.

Every day you pour yourself into ministry. You hit the ground ready to serve the Lord and the people He has entrusted to your care. You work diligently to do all that God has called you to do as you minister to those the Father puts in your path. But do you ever look around your ministry and wonder who is there for you?

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? In your family? In your personal walk and life? In your leadership?

How do you build your staff, team, church or organization into a cohesive team of Christlike leaders who reach their full potential for Jesus? What is your plan?

Where do you turn when you feel alone and you’re the one who is hurting?

How do you navigate the challenges of ministry and the opposition that often comes?

These are vital questions born out of real-life situations… situations that I have faced and still encounter.

Over the years, I have sensed a strong and clear call from the Lord to assist Christian leaders to find direction, especially in building Christlikeness in themselves and others. That calling became even clearer as I experienced my own journey through ministry hardships and betrayal, health issues with family and friends, and the unique challenges of a pastor.

I want you to know some things!

I want you to know how to navigate the seasons of your journey as a leader. I want you to know how to leave a legacy of godly leadership that lasts long after you are gone.

I want you to know that the current pain you’ is not punishment, but promotion!

I want you to know that there is someone in your corner 24/7…standing with you, thinking about you, praying for you, and cheering you on! I want you to know there is someone you can call who loves you and is there for you at 3:00 a.m. when the enemy wakes you up and attacks your mind! I want you to know that there is someone there who has been through the battles and has come out victorious and that you will too!

My heart and the heart of Great Exchange Ministries is to serve in your corner as a resource of encouragement and equipping to help you become everything God has for you and to fulfill the ministry He has given you.

I have a plan…and it works! Contact me today and lets talk!

What makes GEM distinctive?

Exchange Ministries, Inc. seeks to encourage and equip pastors, church staff, ministry leaders, life coaches, counselors, churches, and organizations to become Christlike leaders.

GEM wants to help you reach the fulness of all that the Father intends for you to be and fulfill His plan for your life and ministry. Your Heavenly Father wants to equip you and your ministry to build the Kingdom! But many leaders lack a roadmap and struggle to move ahead. They need a practical biblical approach!

GEM utilizes a biblical and proven approach to do that!

The “Four Keys to Christlikeness” make this a reality:

  • Biblical Identity

  • Spiritual Breakthrough

  • Mature Character

  • Spirit-led Life

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.
