EMMANUEL N. HANIAH
Chaplain Emmanuel N. Haniah, founder and Director of Heart of Compassion (dba Compassion for All) Ministries, Inc., was born and raised in the rough streets of Brooklyn, NY, by a single mother. Emmanuel saw the worst side of life. He was well on his way to becoming a negative statistic through a life of crime and deviant behavior, before giving his life to Jesus Christ on October 31, 1994. Since then Emmanuel has dedicated his life to reaching the unreachable. He feels obligated to show others the grace and compassion God has shown him. His approach is one of fellowship, transparency, and generosity.
Emmanuel Haniah is passionate about the calling on his life to help the suffering and misguided in our society. Haniah is a certified and licensed Chaplain, and he has gone through extensive training to equip himself for maximum effectiveness. His training includes: an internship at Rikers Island Correctional Facility; accredited Chaplaincy education; and state and federal training for rehabilitation and re-entry services for inmates. Emmanuel also has a proven history of working within school districts as a behavioral modification specialist for at-risk students.

PROJECT INSPIRATION
Project Inspiration is a program created by Chaplain Emmanuel N. Haniah, in collaboration with Inspired Legacy Publishing, to help at-risk youth. Since 2000, this program has helped hundreds of students face their issues, enhance their character, and refocus on education. Project inspiration offers risk assessment and coinciding behavior modification workshops, one-on-one mentorship with Chaplain Haniah, at-home exercises, and private sessions with child and caretakers. Chaplain Haniah also serves as a student advocate in cases of disciplinary action from school administrators.
Project Inspiration offers parental and staff development workshops to ensure the continued success of its participants. These workshops are facilitated by Chaplain Haniah and are designed to promote a collaborative effort between educators, parents, and students. The workshops equip educators and caretakers to combat the negative influence of gang associations and to help youth overcome troubled home lives.
Project Inspiration, operating in collaboration with, Teen Challenge of Dallas, TX, is a proven program that has successfully helped reduce unproductive behavior in school and at home, thus fostering a safer community.
INMATE RE-ENTRY & REHABILITATION
Chaplain Emmanuel Haniah has a big heart for inmates. With more than 25 years’ experience working with inmates, he understands the hardships associated with being incarcerated and the process of re-entry upon release. CFA Ministries works with inmates who have upcoming release dates to help rehabilitate them. We offer job readiness training, continuing education assistance, and connect inmates with community resources. Ensuring that released inmates have a re-entry plan is integral to their success and also reduces the risk of them becoming repeat offenders.
We all make mistakes, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to recover and live a fulfilling and productive life! CFA Ministries, in collaboration with Unlocking Doors of Dallas, TX, offers ex-inmates a fresh start!
DIVORCE CARE
Your marriage may be over but your life isn’t! Let CFA Ministries help you recover, find peace, and move on!
Emmanuel Haniah’s life was shattered by divorce after 10 years of marriage. Faced with the daunting task of being the custodial parent of six school-aged children, he was angry, depressed, and confused. It was divorce care that guided Chaplain Haniah through that dark time, helping him to reconcile his negative emotions and make peace with his situation. Emmanuel now has a peaceful friendship with his ex-wife, as they co-parent their seven beautiful children.
It is Emmanuel Haniah’s desire to see all divorced people find peace and healing after a shattered marriage. In collaboration with Emmanuel Pentecostal Church, of Mesquite, TX, Chaplain Haniah offers one-on-one ministerial counseling, mental wellness resources, and support groups.
CFA MINISTRIES REACHES THE UNREACHABLE, SHOWING GRACE & COMPASSION TO ALL.
