“Before my coaching process, I felt stuck in some areas of my life and ministry, which I used as an excuse for inaction." However, "through coaching, I am now acting on each of these areas." I'm also "creating a leadership development program; initiating a growth process for emerging leaders; starting a leadership diploma for over 200 pastors in my city; and am beginning to coach a young leader from another city." This journey has "expanded my spiritual leadership's reach, impacting my church, community, and various organizations." “I'm deeply appreciative of my coach and the coaching scholarship that enabled this transformational process.”
Enrique Zaldívar
Senior Pastor, Honduras
“As an experienced executive in the business world, I became CEO of a Christian non-profit focusing on education in a challenging urban area. Coaching helped me confront a disengaged board, team conflicts, and organizational complexity. It boosted my self-confidence and provided a new perspective, enabling me to develop action plans for self-management, personnel, and board engagement. Now, my team is stronger, relations with the board are better, and I lead a more efficient organization. Our finances are stable, and we're expanding our scholarship program while developing new initiatives to support local families.”

“I was struggling with family finances and managing my time effectively due to a multitude of tasks and demands from others." Fortunately, "the coaching process provided an open and equal conversation between myself and my coach, who acted as a friend and fellow servant." As a result, "I have already begun to put my family finances in order and organize my calendar by prioritizing the most important tasks." I've also learned to "manage conflicts and tensions more effectively within the church." The coaching experience "has empowered me to help others who may not have access to this resource, which I feel was provided to me by God.”
Antonio Ruiz
Senior Pastor, Nicaragua
“Pastors these days have too few trusted resources they can turn to at key crossroads. I needed an unbiased, trusted advisor outside of my board, church staff, even my circle of buddies. My coach thoroughly understood my world, and its accompanying pressures. He helped me unearth the right goals both for my personal growth, and my leadership of the church, and walked alongside me as I implemented some challenging initiatives. I highly recommend SOLIDpastors to any senior leader in a ministry environment."
Ted Beasley
Former Senior Pastor
“Before coaching, I faced a spiritual, emotional, and physical imbalance. Deep-seated wounds existed in all three areas, causing me to engage in harmful patterns which impacted both myself and those around me. Through coaching, I identified beliefs, practices, and personal dogmas that were misguiding me, leading to a healing process I'm now undergoing with a psychologist. My relationships with my wife and children have improved substantially, as I've addressed harmful patterns. As a pastor, coaching bolstered my self-esteem and leadership within my organization, allowing me to better organize the church. I feel excited for what the future holds."
David Murillo
Senior Pastor, Honduras
“Prior to beginning my coaching sessions, I felt inadequate and unable to lead my congregation effectively towards a high-impact ministry to our community, which was leaving me disheartened." However, "from my very first session with my coach, I discovered the sufficiency of Christ in my life and the extraordinary resources that He has given me to carry out His work with great efficiency." This realization brought "newfound confidence to approach my tasks with certainty and without complaint, knowing that the Holy Spirit is at work through my everyday actions." As a result, "I now have a more positive perspective when interacting with my congregation and have even seen improvements in my relationships with my family.”
Tomás Rodríguez
Senior Pastor, Dominican Republic
“The question is, do you want to get better at what you do in life and work? If so, then you need SOLIDpastors on your team. Helping you be better at all you do is their passion. What I enjoy most is the back and forth of discovery I have with my coach each month. He listens well and probes even better. It doesn’t matter if you are at the top of your game or just starting out, my coach always seems able to meet me where I am at. Many benefit from a coach’s influence but everyone truly needs a faithful encourager to help you move from good to great. My coach is both!”
