Testimonies Mentors in Christian Counselling Agnes Sanford, The Healing Light Right after I made that life transforming decision to give my life to God, I was given a significant book about how to pray by Agnes Sanford - a pioneer voice in Christian prayer and inner healing who founded and lead Schools of Pastoral Care. I attended a mission of Agnes Sanford in Calgary (1975) and so Agnes Sanford was my first mentor. John and Paula Sandford, Transformation of the Inner Man Later, I began to study the works of John and Paula Sandford of Elijah House: Restoring the Christian Family, Transformation of the Inner Man and Healing the Wounded Spirit. I attended an early training course of theirs in Alberta (1980), courses they taught in Ontario and collaborated with them in arranging teaching tours in Ontario. I am deeply immersed and well versed in the material of John and Paula Sandford, not only did I use their material in my professional practice but I also taught courses and, then, trained lay ministry teams at St. George the Martyr Anglican Church with Rev. Bill and Lynda Riesberry based on the above books. Along with Don Blair I produced study materials on each book on a chapter by chapter basis. Leanne Payne, Listening Prayer Leanne Payne influenced me when I attended her Pastoral Ministry School in the USA near Detroit. Leanne Payne - C.S. Lewis scholar, author, founder of the Pastoral Care Ministry School - provided the vision and testimonies as to the effectiveness of listening prayer in therapy. Leanne Payne - Listening Prayer, John Regier, Neil Anderson, mentors John Regier - Biblical Concepts with couples, Neil Anderson - Bondage Breaker, Russ Parker - Healing Dreams, Their Power and Purpose in Your Spiritual Life.  Art Zielstra - Prayer Counselling and my earliest introduction to TheoPhostic concepts of Christian inner and emotional healing.

Accountability Reports These are reports from an outside person who interviews one of my clients for accountability purposes Report from an individual retreat at Mount Alverno Retreat Center, Brother David Connolly reporting: During that conversation she stated or affirmed the following: - she felt very comfortable in the environment (Clare's Place) and safe in your presence. - you were very attentive and a good listener. She felt heard and understood. - you were kind and very intelligent and clear in your communication. - with your assistance Ann was able to gain insights, self-understanding and better self-acceptance. - she appreciated the prayer focus of your encounters which gave her a different (and liberating) perspective of her own experience and her experience of God. Healing occurred. - she would very much like to continue therapy with you and would not hesitate to recommend you to others. I hope this is helpful. Blessings on your continuing work and ministry.
