Dewberry Ministries International was incorporated in 1979 to be the covering organization for the world-wide ministry of Dr. Harold Dewberry and his associates.
A foundational aspect of the vision of Dewberry Ministries International (DMI) was to establish and conduct training schools for pastoral care and counseling. The training schools would also operate residential care facilities in order to offer on-hand training for counselors, as well as integrating into the program a limited number of persons needing in-depth care and counsel. The first Institute of Pastoral Care and Counseling (IPCC) with residence homes was in operation from 1980 through 2002 and was highly successful.
Through the training and preparation of DMI, several hundred persons have been ordained or have received certificates of ministry from EnAgape Christian Fellowship where Dr. Dewberry is the Senior Pastor. These ministers are serving throughout the United States, and internationally in Kenya, England, Holland, Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and India.
Since 1980 over 100,000 counseling sessions have been conducted with referrals coming from twenty different nations, hospitals and medical professionals, churches, ministries, and private individuals.
Seminars and conferences have been conducted globally. Follow-up coordinators have been appointed in Australia, England, Holland and California, USA and are responsible for distributing DMI materials, and organizing future meetings and seminars. In the USA, an extension school is being conducted in Sacramento, California.
DMI is also the vehicle to distribute the many books, audio tapes, CD’s, DVD’s, videos, teaching and training materials Dr. Dewberry has published, and is currently developing on-line training courses. The on-line IPCC will make Dr. Dewberry's materials available world-wide, 24 hours a day, at the touch of a button!
Currently, the extension school of IPCC being conducted in Sacramento, California USA has seminars open to the public and weekly training classes with an opportunity to earn a pastoral counseling license. The 2007 fall term is teaching Feed My Sheep Feed My Lambs utilizing DVDs, a full transcript, workbooks, and auxilliary teaching. Contact the leaders, Martin and Susan McCrea at (916) 606-1690.
