It probably won’t surprise anyone to hear that we receive many, many requests for assistance in finding a therapist/emotional healing minister who can facilitate Immanuel approach sessions. We are working hard to train Immanuel approach facilitators, and information regarding facilitators available to the public will be posted on the Lehman Referral List and/or the Immanuel Network Directory. However, at this point the small number of facilitators posted through these two resources are unable to provide sessions for the large number of people who want them. At least for now, many people wanting Immanuel approach sessions will have to find or recruit their own facilitators. See the essay, “Finding/Recruiting Your Own Immanuel Approach Facilitator,” for our thoughts regarding how one might pursue doing so. Also, please read the essay, “Requests, Recommendations, and Cautions,” as part of finding a competent, safe, good-fit facilitator who truly uses the Immanuel approach.

Also note these additional thoughts

1) Ask the Lord for help in finding the right person(s) to support and work with you, and be persistent in prayer.

2) If you find options that seem promising on the Immanuel Network Directory, Lehman Referral List, or elsewhere, we encourage you to call/e-mail them to gather additional information that will help you find a good fit. Be sure to ask any questions that feel important to you. You may also need to actually try working with several different facilitators in order to find a good fit. All of this can sometimes be a burdensome hassle, but we encourage you to be persistent (and keep asking the Lord for help, as needed).

3) Prayerfully ponder the suggestions we offer in our essay Finding/Recruiting Your Own Immanuel Approach Facilitator. The Lord may be calling you to be part of the pioneering task of raising up more Immanuel approach facilitators.

4) We regularly pray for those of you who have not yet found the help that you need.
