What Gary offers in ministry:

·  48 years of counseling experience (families, individuals, crisis, 

   trauma,  discipleship, mediation, mental illness, grief counsel, 

   planning for the end of life)

·  Using a technique called Temperament Therapy he offers a 

   questionnaire, which takes fewer than ten minutes for a person to  

   complete. The questionnaire measures needs, natural traits, 

   strengths, and weaknesses according to your temperament. These   

   are identified in the computerized Arno Profile System report, 

   providing us with in-depth information and the best way to 

   counsel the individual. The system enables the counselor to 

   identify a person’s temperament swiftly and accurately. It is a very 

   helpful tool both personally and in work/ministry settings to 

   maximize the giftings each person has been given by God.

Gary has a wide background in teaching the Word of God. Favorites: 

   o  The Holy Spirit-Who is He? How does He work? Emphasizing The 

       Personality (Fruit of the Spirit) and Power (Gifts of the Spirit) as 

       exemplified in Jesus’ ministry.

   o  What are the things the devil uses to distract us from the will of       

       God-in spirit, soul and body? Particularly noting the lies the devil   

       regularly speaks 

   o  Prayer-especially intercessory prayer and supplication; praying  

       in the Spirit

   o  Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther-God wants to restore us Spirit, Soul 

       and Body. These books also give us a beautiful look at how God 

       works in the background on our behalf

   o  Godly response toward people who are not like us-in all arenas

   o  Pastoral response to worship in church and how to release 

       leadership
