Developing men and women into an army for Jesus

The War Counsel was formed to give back and to take back. Ed Schmit experienced a dramatic life change when he went all-in for Jesus and was counseled by many great men. It is now his turn to help raise leaders to learn, teach and extend the kingdom of God.

We are focused on helping men love and serve their wives, lead their families, and create a serving culture at home, in the workplace, and community. We seek to see marriages saved with husbands and wives growing in oneness. We disciple youth in Jesus, train them in leadership, and equip them to teach others.

Testimonials

FROM THE HEART

“I have encountered a Great God's response to the ministry after seeing young people teaching the gospel, supporting the needy among others. I see God's hand who reveals his secrets to me through the teachings of my brother Ed. I have grown heavy spiritually and mentally."

Medson ChitnedzeCOST Ministry Director - Monkebay, Africa

“The weekend really made me think about important issues from the past and how it has shaped me.. It's a great weekend to retreat, gather yourself, and be spiritually refueled.”

Steve RobleeWild at Heart Boot Camp

“I now know that I have what it takes – to follow Jesus, to lead my family, and to glorify His name! The War counsel boot camp I recently attended helped me to learn who I am in Christ and how much of a battle we are in. I learned to let the Lord heal my wounds, equip me for His Service and release me to take ground for His Kingdom. I learned to lean on God as a man in order to bring strength to my marriage, rather than look to my wife for validation all the time. Ed from the War Counsel has what it takes, as he is following Jesus with all his heart, all his soul, and all his mind. Join him at an upcoming boot camp and let God heal you, father you, and validate your soul.”

Nick B.Wild at Heart Boot Camp

"The Wild At Heart Bootcamps for me has been life changing. The teaching has helped me look at myself as a man differently. They have helped focus on my heart and the importance of it. I have been to several Bootcamps and each time I have had breakthroughs which has helped me grow closer to myself and more importantly closer to God. I plan on attending several more in the future."

Brian GraingerMen’s Ministry Leader

I have had the pleasure of participating in several War Counsel events last year and met Ed individually. These opportunities have helped me grow spiritually and relationally in my own family and the community. The Wild at Heart bootcamp is an amazing experience for those willing to disconnect and recharge for a few days. The War Counsel leaders are extremely inviting and gracious in all they do. I highly recommend this ministry and the checking them out.
