Addiction to gambling of many different kinds is an increasing social problem in Korea, which appears to be leading to more concerns about the government`s urgent need to combat it. Since the National Gambling Control Commission launched to develop the policies for problem gambling issues in 2008, the Korean government has endeavored to help those who struggle with gambling addictions and their families through problem gambling counseling center across the country. This article proposes the need for Christian(pastoral) counseling model that more clinically addresses the importance of spirituality in the therapeutic process of addiction counseling. First, this study assesses the way in which the clinicians have employed the spirituality issues as active therapeutic ingredients, especially in the practice of addiction and recovery groups in North America. It is argued that the resurgence of interest in spirituality is channeled into individuals` involvement in caring commitment to church`s outreach ministry and/or voluntary service, and therapeutic small-group networks. In such recovery movements as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and GA(Gamblers Anonymous), for instance, the communal component emphasizes spiritual support and care. This paper presents a challenge to the models of one-sided spiritual support in Christian recovery ministry by examining the crucial role of exploring and forging the ``spiritual qualities`` deeply embedded inside of those who have been addicted. A case of problem gambling support group in a local church will be provided to show how Christian counselors(group facilitators) can help the clients/parishioners with problem gambling live out spiritual qualities throughout a simple guided imagery and visualization exercise, using the most spiritual person they have ever known. It is suggested that ``spiritual qualities` emerging from clients` experiences and the depth of stories might be able to accompany and develop more advanced ability to connect with others and God in their journey to recovery.
