Cotorey Seals
Cotorey Seals is the D-House director and coordinator at the Navigators’ Breaking Ground ministry. He is an outgoing and joyful follower of Jesus. Wherever Cotorey goes, he wants to take as many people as possible along with him. That’s how he approaches his work for God’s Kingdom, as well as the things he loves to do in his leisure time: poetry, working-out, and salsa dancing.
Discipleship House
Restored men bringing holistic change to their communities
Our heart here at the Detox house is from Isaiah 58:6-7 “… to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free … to share food, provide shelter and clothe them.” This is a rescue mission. Jesus rescued us from our sin and calls us to be ministers of reconciliation to others. The men we seek to serve face challenges most of us can’t even imagine. D-House is a ministry of reaching across the gap between Life in Christ and death in the world, to help men choose Life, to come to know and experience Him as Savior, and to bear Christ’s image rather than to chase after the world’s images.
