Grace Ministries for Christ

Reaching Others Right Where They Are

Speak Life. Speak Jesus.

Grace Ministries for Christ is a Gospel-centered Christian Ministry Outreach founded by Rev. Dr. Yaron I. Kohen. Our mission is simple, biblical, and urgent:

Speak Life. Speak Jesus.

We exist to meet people right where they are in their lives with the love, truth, and hope of Jesus Christ. Whether someone is hurting, searching, struggling, grieving, growing, or simply longing for deeper faith, Grace Ministries for Christ seeks to walk with them through the transforming power of God’s Word and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Our ministry is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Great Commission, and the call to make disciples. We believe people do not merely need religious activity. They need Christ. They need truth. They need biblical care that reaches the heart, renews the mind, restores the soul, and helps them grow in faithful obedience to God.

A Christian Ministry Outreach for Today’s World

In today’s world, many people are overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, confusion, grief, spiritual dryness, and broken relationships. Many attend church, listen to sermons, or serve in ministry, yet still carry deep internal struggles.

Grace Ministries for Christ exists to help people bring those struggles before the Lord.

Through preaching, teaching, biblical counseling, discipleship, missionary outreach, worship, and pastoral care, GMC seeks to help people encounter the hope and healing found only in Jesus Christ.

We serve in churches, homes, schools, communities, small groups, online platforms, mission fields, and wherever the Lord opens a door. Our desire is not simply to invite people into a building, but to bring the truth of Christ into real life.

Founded by Rev. Dr. Yaron I. Kohen

Rev. Dr. Yaron I. Kohen is a pastor, teacher, counselor, author, theologian, musician, and missionary with nearly thirty years of ministry experience. He is the founder, president, and senior minister of Grace Ministries for Christ.

His ministry has included preaching, teaching, worship leadership, pastoral counseling, missionary work, discipleship, Christian education, and biblical soul care across the United States and abroad.

Rev. Dr. Kohen is also the author of Proactive Pastoral Counseling: An Intrapersonal Approach for Cultivating Christian Formation, a Christ-centered and Scripture-based approach to pastoral care that helps believers address the inner life through the truth of God’s Word.

Proactive Pastoral Counseling

Grace Ministries for Christ emphasizes Proactive Pastoral Counseling, also known as PPC. This approach is not merely crisis counseling. It is biblical soul care designed to help people face internal struggles before they become deeper wounds.

Proactive Pastoral Counseling helps individuals examine their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, motives, fears, griefs, wounds, and self-talk in light of Scripture. The goal is not simple behavior change. The goal is spiritual transformation through Jesus Christ.

Through PPC, believers are encouraged to bring their inner struggles under the authority of God’s Word so they may grow in peace, wisdom, repentance, faith, and Christlike maturity.

Christian Intrapersonal Formation

A central part of Rev. Dr. Kohen’s ministry is Christian Intrapersonal Formation, also known as CIF.

Christian Intrapersonal Formation focuses on the inner life of the believer. It helps Christians ask honest questions:

What am I believing?

What am I thinking?

What am I feeling?

What lies have I accepted?

What does God’s Word say?

How is Christ calling me to respond?

CIF helps believers renew their minds through Scripture, confront false thoughts with biblical truth, and grow in spiritual maturity by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is essential for Christians today. Many believers are surrounded by cultural pressure, spiritual confusion, and emotional pain. Christian Intrapersonal Formation helps them stop merely “going to church” and begin growing more deeply in Christ.

Biblical Counseling and Soul Care

Grace Ministries for Christ provides biblical counseling and pastoral care rooted in Scripture. We believe God’s Word is living and active. It speaks to the heart, exposes what is false, restores what is broken, and leads people into truth.

Biblical counseling through GMC may address:

Fear and anxiety
Grief and loss
Shame and guilt
Anger and bitterness
Identity struggles
Spiritual confusion
Relational conflict
Discouragement
Church hurt
Emotional and spiritual weariness
The need for deeper discipleship and growth in Christ

Our goal is to help people process life through God’s Word, depend on the Holy Spirit, and walk faithfully with Jesus.

Discipleship and Spiritual Growth

Grace Ministries for Christ is committed to helping believers grow in Christ through discipleship, biblical teaching, small groups, mentoring, and Christian education.

Christian growth is not only about knowing more information. It is about becoming more like Jesus.

Through discipleship and spiritual formation, GMC helps believers learn how to think biblically, pray faithfully, serve humbly, worship sincerely, and live obediently before God.

A GMC Story: Speak Life. Speak Jesus.

In a quiet town filled with ordinary people carrying hidden burdens, many were searching for hope but did not know where to turn. Some carried grief. Others carried guilt. Some felt spiritually dry, emotionally weary, or distant from God. They had gone through the motions of life, but deep within, they longed for healing, restoration, and a renewed sense of purpose.

That is where Grace Ministries for Christ began to serve.

Through GraceMinistriesforChrist.org, people discovered a Christian Ministry Outreach committed to meeting others right where they are in life. Led by Rev. Dr. Yaron I. Kohen, the ministry became known not merely as the Yaron Kohen ministry but as a Christ-centered mission of compassion, truth, and biblical care. Its message was simple, but powerful: Speak Life Speak Jesus.

Rev. Dr. Kohen believed that every soul needed more than encouragement alone. People needed the truth of God’s Word applied to the deepest places of their hearts and minds. Through Proactive Pastoral Counseling, he helped individuals examine their struggles through Scripture, prayer, and spiritual reflection. This ministry of care became a path toward Christian Intrapersonal Formation, in which believers learned the importance of renewing the mind through Scripture and of growing in Christ.

Grace Ministries for Christ developed as a biblical counseling ministry, offering Christian pastoral counseling, Bible-based counseling, and Christ-centered soul care. Those who came for help were not treated as problems to be fixed, but as people made in the image of God, invited into Christian healing and restoration through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As the ministry grew, it also became a place of Christian counseling and discipleship. Through Christian discipleship training, Christian spiritual formation, and Christian formation through God’s Word, people were taught how to walk faithfully with Christ in everyday life. The ministry emphasized that true transformation does not begin with outward appearance, personal performance, or religious routine. It begins with the heart surrendered to Christ and the mind renewed by Scripture.

Grace Ministries for Christ also served churches and communities through Christian missions outreach, Christian teaching and preaching, and Gospel-centered ministry. Rev. Dr. Kohen became available as a pulpit supply pastor, guest preacher, Christian ministry speaker, and Christian podcast guest speaker. Whether preaching from the pulpit, teaching in a small group, joining a podcast conversation, or offering pastoral care, his desire remained the same: to speak the truth of Christ with grace, clarity, and conviction.

Those searching for a ministry speaker, Rev. Dr. Kohen, found someone committed to biblical soul care, faithful preaching, and practical discipleship. His ministry did not focus on building a platform, but on helping people encounter Christ through the Word of God. His work emphasized that the church is not merely a place people attend, but a people called to live in obedience, worship, love, truth, and mission.

Over time, many came to understand that Grace Ministries for Christ was more than an organization. It was a call to return to the sufficiency of Scripture, the compassion of pastoral care, and the transforming power of the gospel. Through every sermon, counseling session, discipleship lesson, and outreach opportunity, the ministry continued to proclaim one central message:

There is hope in Christ.

There is healing in Christ.

There is life in Christ.

And through Grace Ministries for Christ, Rev. Dr. Yaron I. Kohen continues to reach others right where they are, helping them hear the Word, receive the truth, and walk forward in the grace of God.
