The Abiding Word and Cross Link Counseling started as outreach ministries of the church of Christ. In the 1960’s The Abiding Word was a radio program on WOKO, an Albany Radio Station hosted by the late Perry O. Newton, then minister with the Albany Church of Christ. Over the years The Abiding Word has developed into a print and online Bible Study Resource promoting Bible-based study guides and resources.

Cross Link Counseling was begun by Edward E. Healy in the 1980’s as a mission outreach and counseling ministry through the Albany Church of Christ. Since the beginning the focus has been on Christ-centered Biblical Christian Counseling.

Since 2000 these two ministries have merged to focus mainly on promoting Biblical Principles for Christian Growth.

With the website www.TheAbidingWord.com this ministry provides FREE Online Bible Study Resources and eBook Study Guides.

Now living in the Adirondacks, Edward E. Healy is a retired Minister, Evangelist, Missionary with the church of Christ and serves as a volunteer interim preacher, Bible teacher and Christian Counselor as needed.
