Meet Jude Crank
I’m Jude, I’m an aifc Graduate, a professional counsellor, a pastor, a teacher, a wife and a mum to 3 great kids.
I really love people and something I’m absolutely passionate about is seeing people reach their full potential and to be healed and whole.
What I was finding with my pastoral background, was that a lot of people were coming to me with quite significant issues and I wanted to know that I had the tools to help them properly.
What attracted me to aifc is the flexibility. The majority of the time, I study from home, apart from 3 days a term when we meet together at seminar on campus. That’s when we meet with our tutors, who are very supportive. They contacted me through the term at home.
Not only does it focus on your skills and qualifications but there’s also plenty of room in the course for personal growth and so a significant part of my 3 years of study has been the Holy Spirit working in my life, changing me, moulding me, transforming me.
Since graduating from aifc, I’ve moved into professional counselling. If you’ve been considering a career in counselling, I would absolutely recommend that you pursue with aifc. I thoroughly enjoyed my time studying with aifc, I’ve enjoyed the networks that I’ve developed, I’ve enjoyed getting to know the other students and staff and it has absolutely changed my life in a really positive way.
I love that I now have the skills and the tools I can offer to people so that they can move forward into all that God has for them in their life.
