GADC Accredited 3-day Training Intensive

“The GADC Model has inspired me as an experienced counselor — and in my private capacity as a follower of Christ — to make the process of healing a much more practical, creative, and intimate journey with God.

We often forget that God in us has this amazing love for us and knows us uniquely, down to the minutest detail of our deepest being.  He blessed us with the creativity that comes from Himself to actively, practically, and creatively express our hurts and pain. And He gives us the ability to let Him then come and heal our broken hearts in the same creative way – as only He can – through love, hope, and patience.”

Glory be to Him who gives “Beauty for Ashes”.

“An area which is often neglected in counselling is “giving back” in gratitude after healing. The GADC model addresses this by encouraging Compassionate Witnessing, Taking-it-back (Reclaiming), and Communities of Concern.  These are all part of the journey that helps the counselee pay it forward. The counselee uses their healing journey to witness, encourage, and inspire others. It is a very effective and practical discipling tool – a gift that keeps on giving.   It extends the love of God to others as He desires of us as His children because it glorifies His Name and adds to the Kingdom of God (Philippians 2:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:11b)”

“The structure of the GADC model addresses different aspects of the counselee’s healing journey in manageable phases.  The structure and flow of the model make it possible for the counselee to look at the journey from an objective perspective, see the bigger picture, and move between phases to track progress.”

“I am very excited to integrate this model into my existing work. I can think of previous specific circumstances where I experienced blockages and setbacks from clients where this model would have added a lot of value.  It is an in-depth process and involves the discipling of the counselee over a period of time.  This will give a strong foundation and documented reference on how to handle problems as a Christian.”
