Comments from workshop attendees:
Excellent workshop! This is truly a ministry of healing, deliverance, abiding, and surrender to Jesus Christ!
Extremely good notebook, and excellent resource table; presenter was very well prepared and anointed for this work.
This training is an excellent way to set people free from bondage. We need more instructors like Dr. John.
