Thank you so much for all your prayers when things seemed bleak in the plans of having three professional counselors come to give lay counseling training. But God is always faithful and His plans are always best. We were blessed with the presence of Dr Tommy Smith a family counselor and director of Pathways Professional Counseling in Brewton, Alabama. Al and Linda translated for Dr Tommy Smith as he shared his rich experiences teaching local pastors and lay people basics in counseling. After a long extensive week, each participant received a certificate in lay counseling. Pray that each pastor and lay person that received this blessing will continue to seek the direction of the Holy Spirit as they yield to him in helping the broken hearted find the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
