Shaping leaders. Refreshing souls.

Renewal is at the heart of everything we do.

Every year, we have the privilege of walking alongside pastors, ministry leaders, missionaries, and followers of Jesus who desire to lead from a healthy soul. Through our certificate programs, soul care retreats, spiritual direction, and spiritual formation resources, we help people discover that effective leadership flows not simply from what we know and do, but from who we are becoming.

As God shapes leaders, the influence extends far beyond the individual. Families are strengthened, churches are renewed, ministries flourish, and communities are impacted for Christ

We also meet many who are weary and in need of refreshment. They long for space to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and reconnect with His presence. Through spiritual direction, retreats, cohorts, and learning communities, we create safe places where souls can be renewed and restored. Again and again, we witness God bringing fresh hope, renewed purpose, and deeper intimacy.

Your generosity makes this ministry possible. Together, we are investing in the transforming work of God—shaping leaders, refreshing souls, and advancing His Kingdom. As we embark on our 23rd Anniversary Fundraising Campaign, RENEW: Shaping Leaders, Refreshing Souls.

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.
