How We Serve
What We Offer
Burning Bush Encounters Ministry offers a place for encountering the divine through evangelization and formation in preparation for mission, and in the mission field through charitable works. These experiences prepare individuals for their lifelong mission of leading others from the slavery of life without God into freedom of living life in relationship with God.
We offer assorted workshops/training, courses, and teaching/learning materials on various aspects of Christian spirituality to assist in formal/direct Christian formation: prayer, prayer group dynamics, charisms, growing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, intercession, spiritual direction, healing and deliverance, experiencing the Holy Spirit as Catechist, and more.
“Iron is sharpened by iron; one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)
We produce diverse events for informal/indirect Christian formation: conferences, lectures, Life in the Spirit seminars, revivals, retreats, mission trips.
“He said to them, ‘Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.’” (Mark 16:15)
We provide funding for school supplies, tuition, meals, and health needs for children, youth, and young adults to assist and improve their learning. We aim to reach and serve all groups identified regardless of religious affiliation, culture, or ethnicity.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

Ministry Initiative
A Ph.D. in Practical Theology is the impetus for this ministry. This ministry thus has a practical theological grounding—making God real, recognizable, and reachable through learning (formation) and through encounter (evangelization and charitable works). Workshops/training will be offered remotely through the Zoom virtual platform and through in-person teaching based on invitations received and opportunities arising from Catholic, other Christian, and non-Christian ministries and entities.
Vision
To transform the lives of Catholics and individuals seeking spiritual instruction, spiritual experiences, and academic and physical support, firing them up for mission in varying mission fields within the Catholic Church and beyond.
Mission
To intellectually inform and spiritually form Catholics and all interested individuals from local (Florida), national, and global communities for mission in ministry, and to likewise serve in mission to children, youth, and young adults, aiding them in meeting academic, health, and other physical needs.
