Getting to know me
I am Chantal I.K. Ryder. I have three children of whom two are still living at home. My oldest son, Moses Ryder, is currently serving in the United States Marine Corps as a combat engineer. I am an alumna of the Christian Leaders Alliance and of the Flaming Wings & Swords Academy. I have actively served the Lord since 2014, overseas at first, now, in the US, since 2022. I have offered counseling and have established online ministries serving the bereaved (Grieving Mom-Facebook), and serving people in distressed situations (Eminent Faith Ministries-Facebook and Pastor Chantal Ryder-Tiktok). My ministries have reached over 4.4k people online. I also have written blogs, published articles and a devotional to spread hope (Pr.Chantal I.K. Ryder, Dr.Div.-The Eminent Hope Devotional, Amazon). I'm currently offering pastoral care counseling and life coaching, being specialized in, but not limited to: overcoming trauma, grief and abuse, family counseling, post-divorce counseling, suicide prevention, parent coaching for children of all abilities, and resilience coaching.

My Coming to Christ and Calling to Ministry
In my early childhood years I would attend church regularly, but it wasn't after a near death experience in recent years that completely changed my walk with Jesus. It was as if I bathed in hope, love and light and ever since I made it my mission to help others and experience God's goodness as well. I made it my mission to bring hope and healing to everyone, no matter their walk of life.

My most favorite scripture verse this year is: Isaiah Isaiah 50:7
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

My calling to this Soul Center
My calling to this soul center is inspired by the Christian Leaders Institute. I want to make disciples for Jesus, healing the sick, restoring the broken hearted, and planting seeds of love and hope. God has equipped me with empathy and hospitality. The Christian Leaders Alliance has equipped me with the necessary tools to minister at this fellowship soul center.

Who I Serve
As a volunteer minister, I minister to my community. I'm interested in serving Christians from all walks of life, restoring hope, and making disciples.

My Ministry
I enjoy restoring hope to people who feel lost and distressed. I offer pastoral care counseling & life coaching to everyone who experienced domestic abuse, other forms of abuse and trauma, and to everyone facing depression and other challenges. I enjoy getting together with a small group of people studying scripture and exploring scripture in the context mentioned above.

Souls Involved: over 4.4k
My online ministry has reached over 4.4k souls and my in person fellowship has reached about 7 people, growing continually.
