Our Founder

Shannon Broling

My name is Shannon Broling. I am the founder and President of PROCLAIM In Jesus Name Children's Therapy.I am a wife, a mother to seven children ages 7-30, a mother-in-law, and a Gigi to several grandbabies.GOD has taken me on many journeys through the years and still continues to do so. HE has blessed me countless times in life and with my children, whether I have birthed them or have gone through the system and adopted them. Each child has been a special journey for me.GOD again is taking me on yet another journey. One that I am quite excited to be on.Two years ago, during devotion while listening to music, the Lord laid before me a Vision. It was so beautiful, powerful, and clear. I could see every detail. I was standing in the waiting room of a counseling facility for children aged two to eighteen. I stood by a window looking at the steel blue walls with peaceful, empowering pictures, as well as some stenciling around the top of the walls with scripture showing the love and hope of Jesus throughout them. Proverbs 31:25-26 and Matthew 5:3-10 were two scriptures on the walls. Everywhere you turned you could feel the love Christ has for us. There was a mix of chairs and a small sofa, an area rug on the floor, and some soft pink accents. It wasn't a large room, and in it music played softly. It was clear Jesus reigned, that HE was the focus when entering. When you left, you were going to know more of the love of Jesus. He showed me the therapists there would be, and that every session would begin and end in prayer. Therapy would contain both biblical and clinical teaching for each child. Therapy would be focused on the poor, less fortunate, children who have gone through foster care or are still in it, as well as the children who have experienced deep trauma, rejection, and neglect. A place where no one is turned away. It is to be in small communities. HE said there will be many. GOD revealed it is to be called PROCLAIM In Jesus Name.I was overwhelmed by the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit. This was My vision given by GOD. I knew without a doubt HE was calling me to begin this Ministry.There is without a doubt a great need for children's therapy. The need for Christ centered therapy is significant! It is something I myself have searched for and have struggled to find it.We know strongholds can be broken. Hearts and minds can be mended. Hope is alive because of Jesus Christ. Our children need this desperately.
A while back while working on PROCLAIM, the Lord was making it clear HE had scripture for me. HE led me to Isaiah 61:1-2:"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. HE has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
