BEGINNINGS    

After over a decade of learning, teaching and training in a Christian ministry that promoted emotional and spiritual well-being, Nancy Moelk saw that she herself, and those she ministered to needed more than what she had to offer. In April of 1999 she took off a month from work to rest and seek God's provision. As she prayed, she felt God was directing her to go to a church that was experiencing renewal. He led her to visit several churches that were in renewal. She wondered how the power she felt at these churches fit in with the way the Spirit had been using her and the ministry she had been working in for the last several years. Nancy prayed that God would send someone to her to help her grow in the gifts of the Spirit so that her work in counseling could have added power and authority.

 Richard Kinney, at the same time, was in Atlanta, Georgia working as a Christian counselor and helping people develop and grow in their spiritual lives. At that time he felt God encourage him to learn and develop in his understanding/experience of grief and the deeper emotional triggers that really help people change. A counselee told him about a weekend conference near Nashville addressing those very things. He felt urged by God in the strongest way to attend.

Nancy was teaching and ministering at this conference. Richard happened to be in her small group out of 125 participants. The two met and in time decided to help one another learn about the other’s modality of healing ministry.

Over the next year, as she worked with Richard, Nancy and her family found deeper healing and deliverance that came through a more spiritual approach to ministry. This involved words of knowledge and wisdom and many words of encouragement and exhortation on a regular basis with a great degree of accuracy. This was in contrast to the vague and often conflicting ways that Nancy had seen these gifts used formerly. Never had she seen the use of the gifts so effective for changing people’s hearts and life direction.

Richard found, in receiving ministry from Nancy, a healing and a deepening of his own emotional life and a way to get to the deeper places of pain and wounding that elude many counselors. There was a resulting release of joy and health in their counselees that encouraged them to continue to merge these two streams of healing ministries. Both counselors started to see dramatic healings and in August 2001 Firehouse Ministries was born.

Both Richard and Nancy are full time counselors and travel and teach in many US cities and occasionally overseas presenting counseling and ways to grow spiritually to the body of Christ.

He now teams up with Nancy Moelk to add his spiritual gift and anointing of the Father’s love and power to her powerful teaching ministry.
