Learn more about Soul Care
The Soul Care Ministry is a group of licensed professionals and lay counselors who, with the care and compassion of Christ, point those who are going through any of the dark valleys of this fallen world to the only One Who can heal them. We counsel with the word of God, and fully depend on His Spirit to redeem and restore those souls who have been “afflicted, storm tossed, and sorrowful” in life (Isaiah 54:11).
“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.”
– Psalm 107:20

Efrain Rodriguez
After more than 25 years in private practice, Efrain still finds his greatest satisfaction in discipling others and ministering the Words of Life to families and individuals in seasons of sorrow or brokenness. Born in Cuba, Efrain grew up in southern California where he would later meet the love of his life when they were both students at Biola University. Efrain continued on to earn his BA in French from CSU Fullerton in 1991, his MA in Marital and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University in 1995, and ultimately licensure in Texas as a professional counselor in 1999. Efrain and Jamie have been married for over 31 years, and enjoy watching the Lord lead their three adult children into their own paths of meaningful work and service, and relationship with Christ. The Lord has been faithful, leading Efrain closer to His heart while reminding him in his personal walk, work, and ministry that, “the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” efrain@benchmarkbible.org
