Our ministry began in the late 90's in response to Valerie's concern to see Christian believers free, growing and eager and able to serve the Lord Jesus. She began seeking and knocking, praying and studying in regard to her concern. While continuing the seeking process, we began using Neil T. Anderson's Freedom In Christ material with people. Then, one morning Valerie awakened with images of computer teaching slides rolling across her imagination. Although she had never done such a thing before, she sat down at her computer and built the slides. By the end of the day she had created the first class with over 40 slides. Over a year, the number of slides grew to over a thousand and our ministry curriculum was born. Although, it wasn't until the early 2000's that Valerie wrote the Participant Workbook.
The curriculum became a process of teaching and praying through particular issues. That process has been used with many groups and individuals who have a person walking with them through it. Those who have committed to it, have grown in Christ, been set free and been deeply blessed through the process!

The entire curriculum and process has been in constant growth and change since its inception. After a major edit and reformat to be finished in 2016, the curriculum/process will be set. From there, in addition to using the ministry curriculum as a whole, we intend to publish and use various parts of it in various ways for broader access and use.
Through the years, we have used various portions of the teaching in classes, retreats, workshops, in person and online, one-on-one and in groups.
Jim went back to school to get his Doctorate in Psychology specifically so that he could research the effects and benefits of the forgiveness portion of the process that we developed. His formal study affirmed and broadened our understanding of the value of this process.
This brings us up to the present. We have great hope in Christ for the future and how He will use what He has done in and through us to make strong, healthy, vibrant disciples of Jesus Christ for the sake of His Kingdom.
