Friends of Gary

Because we have recently changed our name and it seemed prudent to have some of our friends and clients write about their experiences with us. This one is from Happy Leman, a very successful and dynamic Pastor in Illinois with whom I have interacted for years.

I've known Gary Sweeten for over 20 years. Of all the people who've impacted our church over the last 30 years, Gary Sweeten ranks in the top 3. His teaching on Learning to Listen, Speaking the Truth in Love and Rational Christian Thinking have revolutionized our church of 2500 people. To this day, we still refer to those as the foundation classes in helping us minister in the Holy Spirit to other people.

Gary has been an outstanding friend and consultant about helping us think through how we do church life. His material has been one pillar in our foundation that has made us who we are today. We highly recommend Gary and believe that what he has to offer is essential for any size church in any denomination anywhere in the world.

Happy Leman,
Vineyard Regional Overseer

Senior Pastor
Champaign Urbana, Illinois
