Be Seen Ministries exists to empower women through Christ-centered mentoring and counseling.

Founded with a heart to encourage women towards finding security and identity in Christ, the ministry strives to point others towards intimate relationships with a personal and all-caring God. Through individual counseling and mentoring, Be Seen hopes that women will be rooted in the truth that they are seen, heard, and known by God.

Drawing its name from the Hebrew El Roi meaning “the God who sees,” Be Seen Ministries is inspired by the Biblical story of Hagar.  As a foreigner in a strange land and pregnant with the child of her mistress’s husband, she found herself caught in a series of painful and complex circumstances. Her response was much like that of many faced with adversity and conflict: she fled. But true to His character, God pursued her in her pain, loneliness, and fear. He turned an ear to Hagar when she felt most abandoned, rejected, and unimportant.

He sought her and found her when she needed Him most. 

And He does the same for us today. Have you felt rejected and abandoned? Have you moved through life feeling unnoticed or invisible? Have you felt consumed by a series of painful experiences or circumstances? Do you long for someone to see you? To hear you? To know you?

Be Seen Ministries wants to be a fountain of water in the wilderness of a worn and weary world by extending the love and comfort of God to all those we encounter. 

The Bible: We believe that the Bible is the true and inspired Word of God.

God: We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons of one essence: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Jesus: We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, taking on flesh to reveal God to humanity. We believe He is the Savior of this world, bearing mankind’s sin through death on a cross and resurrecting so that man might live eternally with God.

The Holy Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in and empowers believers to live Godly lives. We believe the presence of the Holy Spirit seals the believer in Christ until the day of redemption.

Prayer: We believe in the power of prayer and encourage all to present their hearts to God through prayer. 

Relationship: We believe in the importance of healthy relationships. We believe that a growing relationship with God is the most important relationship anyone can have and that out of this relationship all others will be influenced.

Women: We believe that women are made in the image of God and that their value and identity rest in Him. We believe in awakening the hearts of women to the truth of this identity in Christ. 

Confidentiality: We believe and value the confidentiality of our clients and mentees. We want Be Seen Ministries to be a safe place for those in need to share and speak openly about their hearts and lives.

She is comforted by Proverbs 27:17 which says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”. Lori is excited to use her gifts to encourage, uplift, and spur women on as they seek to grow in their relationship with the Lord.  She is humbled to serve alongside each person at Be Seen and is in awe of the countless ways that God is moving through this ministry.
