In 2003, Pastor Pete Scazzero won the Gold Medallion for Evangelical Writers with this challenging book.  Pete tells his story of planting New Life Fellowship of Queens, NY - a very “successful” church on the outside, but seeing his own soul wither in the midst of conversions, baptisms and explosive church growth.  This seminar will focus on a biblical understanding of emotional issues like fear, anger and seeking the approval of others that have the potential to undermine our ministries.  He challenges evangelicals to return to Scripture for their theology and engage biblical topics that seem to have been lost in current evangelical teaching. 
PRESENTERS:  Rick and Jiji Harner are missionaries with New Life Fellowship (Queens, NY) serving in Cebu since 2006.  They will be presenting this experiential seminar that will encourage you to go deeper in your relationship with God and to search your own soul as David expressed in Psalm 139:23-24 - Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.  Rick and Jiji attended New Life Fellowship under Pastor Pete Scazzero and have been sent to Cebu as missionaries of the church.  Rick is part-time pastor of Olive Grove Christian Ministries in Mabolo, in addition to directing a community tutoring program in Consolacion called G1:27.  Jiji is a graduate of Alliance Graduate School of Counseling in Nyack, NY and is a faculty member at Cebu Graduate School of Theology in AS Fortuna, handling their counseling courses in addition to her private practice in counseling.
