successstories

Our regional Church Development Team used John to facilitate a retreat, motivate our group, and help us focus our vision. Our experience working with him prior to the event was wonderful. He was prompt in replies and accommodating to the max. And our retreat itself was awesome. John has a wide breadth of knowledge, and he is a great listener. His work over three days with our team will be impacting us for a long time to come. His presentation is peppered with humor and humility, but he speaks with reason and authority. He prayed with our group in powerful, meaningful ways. He guided us to identify and refine a new set of priorities; and he helped us focus "like a laser beam" on a vision for our team and its work. John gave himself to us totally and never seemed rushed or distracted. I heartily recommend John to any local church or judicatory group needing friendly, competent, and seasoned guidance for developing its leaders and its vision. Rev. Barry M.
