"Turning Point is one of the greatest small group programs available today. It is a tremendous outreach tool to the community as well as a means of helping those in the church with life-controlling issues."
Dr. Ronald F. McManus, Executive Vice President, The Injoy Group

"I recommend the Living Free video training series to any church interested in beginning or expanding lay-led group ministry to people who are struggling with life's problems. This series communicates sound psychological principles while concentrating on the biblical mandate of making disciples."
Tim Clinton, Ed.D., President American Association of Christian Counselors, Forest, VA

"Turning Point was initiated in First Baptist Church of Glenarden in September, 1991. Since that time it has had a tremendous impact on many."
Rev. John Jenkins, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Glenarden, Maryland

"As we strive to be seeker sensitive in our ministries, Turning Point has been extremely effective in reaching unchurched people who, because of life-controlling problems, are searching for solutions and God."
Rev. Joseph C. Moravec, D.Min., Associate Pastor, First Federated Church, Des Moines, Iowa

"I...marveled at the fact that we not only could responsibly touch the lives... of hurting people, but that ours was at least as good (as public programs) not to mention the joy of seeing many enter into eternal life in Jesus Christ."
Dr. Donald Miles, Pastor, St. John's Lutheran Church, Denver, Colorado

"Having pastored a church from 20 to over 2,000, I know how important it is to involve the Laity in real and meaningful ministry. No resource I am aware of does this more completely and effectively than Turning Point's Living Free® curriculum.
S. Craig Bishop, D.Min., Senior Pastor, Branch Community Church, Harleysville, Pennsylvania

"Shannon Oaks has been in small groups for the past two years, but we have not been able to find exactly the system and material that would help the majority of our people grow spiritually. We have found that Turning Point provides us that vehicle that gives our people what they need spiritually and emotionally."
Jeff Harris, Pulpit Minister, Shannon Oaks Church of Christ, Sulphur Springs, Texas

"We have seen several very significant miracles through this aspect of our small groups, and we fully intend to see more as the Holy Spirit continues to flow through those involved."
Rev. Bob Wine, Senior Pastor, New Life Assembly, Kearney, Nebraska

"Without reservation, I highly recommend Turning Point Ministries and Dr. Jimmy Lee to any church seeking to provide a cutting edge ministry in the 1990's."
Dr. Mike Chapman, Senior Pastor, City Church of Cattanooga, Chattanooga, Tennessee

"As a pastor, I can say without reservations that my counseling appointments have dropped considerably since we started Turning Point. I have personally seen many lives changed and now those people are helping others to experience positive changes through the solid biblical teaching of Turning Point. People follow through and stick with this program because of the small group setting. The fruit is evident and strong relationships are established."
Dr. Al Brice, Senior Pastor, Covenant Love Family Church, Fayetteville, North Carolina

This year I used the "Living Free" video training series at our retreat for small group facilitators of singles and grief groups. We do training every year to provide them with fellowship and additional skills. The participants were overwhelmingly positive in their response to the "Living Free" training. Most stated that this was the best retreat they had ever attended. The Singles' Minister and I both are seminary-trained and have many years of experience, and we agree that this was the most comprehensive and meaningful study we have seen. I cannot emphasize enough how excited we are about this study and look forward to introducing it to the whole church.
Dr. Lennie Howard Frazer Memorial United Methodist Church Montgomery, Alabama
