Changing Lives Seminar

Friends,

RPM Ministries is please to announce the launch of a new, power-packed, one-day seminar: Changing Lives.

In just one day, your church or para-church group will be introduced to all the concepts in my books Soul Physicians and Spiritual Friends!

That's right. Almost 1,000 pages condensed into a creative, engaging, empowering summary contained in 15 pages of notes, nearly 100 PowerPoint slides, and an interactive experience.

Your people will leave motivated to become biblical counselors, equipped to be spiritual friends, and enlightened to be soul physicians.

If you are interested in creating a competent caring community in your congregation, contact me for more information.

Bob

PS:

Here's an outline of the day.
