A "Must Attend" Workshop at Equip07
Neil Anderson From Jay Bell: "Neil Anderson is one of several teachers / writers God has raised up in the past twenty years to equip the Body of Christ in the genre called spiritual warfare from our theological persuasion.  I first met Neil in the classroom at Talbot Seminary when taking three of his required classes for my pastoral studies.  Many years later, God immersed Jan and me into a wild, “Hollywood-type” spiritual situation.  I was totally unprepared for what I saw and heard.  I had heard through the Southern California-Christian-grapevine that Neil was now counseling in this realm.  I made an appointment with him and he equipped me with a game-plan.  It worked!  Now I was confused and curious as to how my Bible, my theology and this new experience could be synchronized.  Neil became my mentor for several years.  During that time Jan and I realized that we, too, had personal and spiritual conflicts. 
By God’s wonderful grace and through Neil’s patient mentoring, we learned who we are in Christ, how to daily take our thoughts captive and to walk free.  Over the years God has allowed us the privilege to help hundreds of other believers discover who they are “in Christ” and to walk free.  This is a must attend workshop!" <more>
