All of us experience pain in different ways at different times in our lives. For most of us, pain is a common experience that we don’t want. In fact, we go to great lengths to try to avoid it. But when we find we can’t avoid it, most of us need help in dealing with it. In this course, Dr. Alice Mathews and Dr. Karen Mason explain several types of interventions, which help us understand how we can come alongside people in pain and minister to them more effectively.

The course was very helpful. The concept of forgiving and forgetting has been revealed, and I am grateful
JulianaThis course of Ministering to People in Pain was awesome and of course backed up to me what I have been doing for years and encouraged me that I am on the right path to helping people be set free from the pain in their lives and to move forward freed from it and to grow deeper in their relationship with God.

This is an excellent course if you are serious about learning who God is and His expectations from us. Through the details and instructions that I received from the lessons I have a better understanding how I should serve in the Kingdom of God. I am better for this.

RayEasy to understand and remember. Listening is really important.
DianaThis course was biblically based, helpful, practical, and presents biblical principles that we can use for a lifetime. I really appreciated how the Bible was used to create insight and not just someone’s opinions being shared. The presenters were wise women of God who seemed very genuine in their work for the Lord.
KevinIt is revolutionary, encouraging, challenging, confrontational and yet loaded with a message of HOPE for individuals, groups and churches.
