Pastoral care department of emf provides spiritual support to the organization's listening audience, and to local communities and churches by connecting callers to ministry resources in their areas. The pastoral care department offers biblically based counseling and prayer, primarily via telephone, from trained pastors and pastoral care team members. The pastoral care team is available to take live listener calls throughout the day and pastors are on call (24-7) should crisis support and intervention be necessary. In addition, listeners are encouraged to leave their prayer requests on the klove.com and air1.com websites or via emf's digital apps. The pastoral care department and the staff of emf pray for these requests daily.
Crisis response educational training equips and supports first and second responder networks proactively through training and preparedness, and reactively during disaster recovery community responses through resiliency interventions. These services are offered to (but not limited to) first responders (police, fire), secondary responders (medical health professionals), and community chaplains. The classes are provided at no charge and teach the basics of critical incident stress management (cism). This program was developed as an outgrowth of our pastoral ministry and local outreach.
The dare ii dream educational school assembly program addresses the ongoing challenges facing the youth of today. The religiously neutral and biblically-based presentation educates kids that their choices today will impact their lives tomorrow. Students are encouraged to surround themselves with positive influences, resist negative peer pressures, and to move forward by staying true to the dreams and goals placed on their hearts. This educational service is offered at no charge to the school and serves the community under the umbrella of the air1 network. This program was developed as an outgrowth of our pastoral ministry and local outreach.
Emf provided grants to exempt organizations which educate, support, and promote christian evangelism, edification, and values.
