Immanuel Practicum – Proficient Coaches<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I am often asked to recommend Practiced Immanuel Practicum coaches who will provide several Immanuel sessions to get started or work long term. \u00a0Other times I am asked to recommend someone to lead an Immanuel Small Group. \u00a0Both Dr. Karl Lehman and I receive Immanuel regularly (weekly or biweekly) in order to be closer to Jesus and to be the best untriggered coaches we can be for our receivers. \u00a0Those on this list are following our example of receiving their own weekly or biweekly sessions with another Immanuel Practicum Leader (IPL) thereby giving the best to their people. The coaches on this list have completed the Proficient Coach Seminar.\u00a0 This 48 session seminar is the highest level of Immanuel Practicum training.- Pastor Patti Velotta<\/p>\n

If you are interested in receiving an Immanuel Practicum Session, please contact us at immanuel@calvarywayintl.com<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
