Welcome

Welcome to the website of Lydia Discipleship Ministries (LDM). As President of LDM, I want you to know that we appreciate your interest in and ministry to  those whose lives are in the process of being rebuilt.

I trust that the materials we have put together on our website are useful to you, both in a personal way, as well as in the lives of those to whom you minister.

Please let me know if we can help in any way.

A Special Announcement from Lydia Discipleship Ministries

Lydia Discipleship Ministries will be Sunsetting June 30th, 2025 and gifting our resources and content to Trauma Healing Center

As organizations, Lydia Discipleship Ministries and Trauma Healing Center have two big things in common. Both of us focus on training those who are helping survivors and equipping survivors with resources for healing. We also both believe the Lord has a plan and strategy for bringing hope and healing to those who are dealing with complex trauma issues. This includes people who have experienced domestic violence, childhood abuse, ritual abuse, dissociation, and a wide variety of other traumatic experiences. ​

“As both THC and LDM have prayed about this transition, we have felt the Lord was directing us toward moving our resources together. With Dr. Pakkala moving into retirement, we are honored to continue to offer her resources and materials along with those we already offer at the Trauma Healing Center.” – Melissa Finger
