Testimonials

"As a single, working parent my patience is often times low. Communication skills between my daughter and myself suffer as a result. Learning to Love helped me understand how important (and easy) it can be to step out of the "work day" and be both physically and emotionally present for my daughter. We were both taught valuable communication skills that help us each and every day. I learned things about my daughter that I was not aware of previously and I have a better understanding of her desires and fears. We were encouraged to take a tough look at ourselves and we both made some positive changes. The Lord truly blessed us with this class and the instructors." - Single Parent

"I did what you told me to do, and my daughter isn't fighting with me any more. She is doing her chores and...." - Single Parent

"My husband and I were arguing in the car the other day and my grandson said, "Why don't you stop arguing and pray to Jesus."" - from a Grandmother

"My daughter is teaching me how to communicate to her in the right way. She lets me know when I talk to her in the wrong way." - Single Parent

"Learning to Love has been a lifesaver for me. It has been my connection to the church." - Single Parent

"We wouldn't be here together now, if it weren't for Learning to Love." - separated couple that reconciled with each other.

"I learned to communicate with my kids." - a Father

"I attended the class with my daughter while preparing to go through a divorce. This class not only helped me learn how to communicate with my daughter, but it changed my life by showing me how to communicate and deal with my feelings in a Godly way with EVERYONE. After taking this class, my husband and I were reunited and I now serve this program as a class leader and in other positions as well. This class is a must for every family!" - Learning to Love teacher.

Letter Written by a Widow
"Words can't express my deepest gratitude for what Learning to Love has done for my children. Their father died August l5, l996. When my four younger girls entered your program in January, l997, they seemed to be in a daze, just in shock and never dealing with the reality of their father's death. Nora, had completely shut down, crying for no apparent reason at all. Through the program we found out how much she missed her Dad holding her, and her fear that she would forget him. Her first grade teacher told me Nora would have to repeat first grade. By April this same teacher showered her with all kinds of awards and praises.

Each child benefited in their own special way. Mary wondered whether she could have done more for Dad since she found him when he had his stoke. She thought she had caused her dad to die. We found this out during the program. Learning to Love opened up lines of communication between the children and myself. The structure of the program was extremely beneficial. The leaders made each child feel special. They were always glad to see that particular child. Some received personal letters.

Finally, I have learned to really listen to the children. I have learned to communicate with them. Most importantly, the children have learned that each is special and that God really loves them. They know that they will be o.k. without their Dad, because God is their Father. They can talk to me about anything. I sincerely recommend the program as an ongoing course. There are so many families trying to deal with the pain of loss and nothing is worse than watching you children suffer."


Letter Written by a Pastor

Dear Friend,

Watching a person grow and blossom in their walk with Jesus is one of the most exciting things for a pastor, especially when their whole family is involved. That's exactly what the ministry of Learning To Love accomplishes-bringing the whole family into whole living.

John Guerrieri and his team at Learning To Love are one of the greatest gifts to the body of Christ. I am not only thankful for what they've done and continue to do for people, but fully recommend their ministry to anyone.

You can be assured of the highest integrity, as well as a commitment to seeing people restored through the practical application of God's word. These brothers and sisters will help the family you love walk in deeper love for each other and for the Lord.

God bless you,

Joel H. Phillips
Senior Pastor
