Rev. G S (Chaplain) abt chaplaincy free course

2024-04-20

Strong learning experience due to long- experienced and devoted Instructor Rev. Cam Butler. I have learned incredible amount about this Community Chaplaincy issue, and it’s hands-on forthright and honest Christ centered method. True it will take some time and faithfully- continued devoted effort, however Christ-sharing results are worth it to do work for The Lord and share his caring for people to those people in thier time of need. As He instructed us to do. No hesitation giving 5 Star rating. I know this approach can have positive results due to my own past ‘on the job’ approach and methods, quite successful, being Inspired to be very much the same. Bravo

Rev. G S (Chaplain) abt chaplaincy free course

2024-04-20

Strong learning experience due to long- experienced and devoted Instructor Rev. Cam Butler. I have learned incredible amount about this Community Chaplaincy issue, and it’s hands-on forthright and honest Christ centered method. True it will take some time and faithfully- continued devoted effort, however Christ-sharing results are worth it to do work for The Lord and share his caring for people to those people in thier time of need. As He instructed us to do. No hesitation giving 5 Star rating. I know this approach can have positive results due to my own past ‘on the job’ approach and methods, quite successful, being Inspired to be very much the same. Bravo
