THE BIG WHY

Research shows that nature-based interventions and green exercise increase self-esteem, coping skills, and prosocial behavior; decrease stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms; and improve blood pressure, immune system, and heart/lung function.

ABOUT US

King Global Ministries is an interfaith non-profit serving individuals—regardless of life choices, lifestyle, or faith tradition—whose past experiences of trauma and drama skew their present self-perception and sabotage their desire for relationship, career, health, and/or wealth fulfillment in the future.

We are organized to reduce the incidence of mental, behavioral, emotional, and substance use disorders and suicide by providing programs and services that develop protective factors and build resilience against life challenges.

Mission: We administer the antidote of self-love to prevent, transform, and end shame experiences

Vision: We are making self-love innate, imitated, and hereditary

Guiding Principles:

1. By the grace of God, we are what we are. (1 Corinthians 15:10)
2. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. (Romans 8:35-39)
3. We're called to draw others with loving-kindness. (Jeremiah 31:3)
4. The power of our spiritual gifting lies in loving others unconditionally (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)
5. We advocate for spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and economic freedom (Luke 4:18-19; Proverbs 31:8-9)
