Pastor Rob

Pastor Rob was born in Flint, Michigan on May 5, 1972… With struggling as a child with heart problems at a young age he underwent heart surgery at the age of 5 years old. Pastor struggled with acceptance and fell under pure pressure during his teenage years that lead him to drugs, alcohol and gang activities that led him to prison. After getting married at the age of 21 to his lovely and devoted wife, Helene while in prison, he decided to make his future better and put his past behind him. Many doubted his love and their marriage, but after 20 years of marriage and being a well respected citizen since 1993 many do NOT doubt anymore. Through many trials and challenges Pastor Rob found the Lord 10 years ago, with the first year struggling to share with his wife and children. After coming out to his wife and kids, he spent the next 3 years he struggled with the Lord. He felt that the Lord called him to the ministry and he could not believe that the Lord called upon him since his past was not righteousness. After going through a second life saving open heart surgery at the age of 37, he finally accepted the Lord’s calling and founded Robert Griffus Ministries in 2010 under the blessing and anointing of our Lord.

After 26 years as an IT programmer and project manager, I decided to take a temporary leave to raise my two children, which we adopted from China and Guatemala. I have recently returned to the workforce and the IT world after 8 years at home with my kids. During my leave I received a calling from God into the field of Biblical Counseling and teaching. I became a Board Certified Biblical Counselor and member of the American Association of Christian Counselors in 2009. The work I do now as a Biblical Counselor is primarily lay ministry counseling through local churches for teens, couples and family. I was also a children’s teacher for 3 years in Greensboro, NC for a global education organization called Community Bible Study. I am a singer/songwriter for fun, married to my husband for 22 years.
