The Immanuel Approach is powerful and life-changing for those who experience it. It is also transferable and easily caught using specific, simple tools that are proven to have profound impact. It will greatly benefit you whether you pray with clients, pray with a friend, are part of a prayer ministry team in your church, or simply want deeper intimacy and a stronger connection with Jesus.
Level I is available in person, however Level II involves much needed advanced training and practicum which is offered through the Immanuel Institute.
This training just blows your mind! I would recommend it for anyone that wants a closer and deeper walk with Jesus. I have always seen Jesus everywhere I go, but there’s something unique and different about this approach. You just have to experience it!
I just finished Immanuel training Level 1 and it was really really awesome! Being a person who’s dealt with trauma before, I really like this approach because it allows you to encounter Jesus in a more intimate way and invite Him into your trauma. Normally he is not there in the other ways I have tried, but He is here now!
I’m beyond words. Melinda and Cathy have packaged the training into a super simple framework that they can gift to us in an easy way. I’m walking away healed this weekend. And I helped others get resolution in areas that made me realize I can do this with my children, my co-workers, anyone!
“I was a bit skeptical at first. After participating in an Immanuel Encounter with Face to Face in Twin Falls, Idaho, I just knew Cathy & Melinda had to bring this to our communities in the Tetons. Learning the simple skills to experience Immanuel and being with others doing the same brought me lasting joy and peace. Highly recommend for anyone.”
This Immanuel Approach training has been extremely powerful! I am learning to spend more time in the quiet so I can connect personally with Jesus. I am also excited to help other people learn to tap into that time with Jesus so we can focus on the positives in our lives!
“Melinda & Cathy’s Immanuel training is delightfully fun and engaging. I personally was able to break through the barrier that was keeping me from hearing Jesus’ voice and experiencing His interactive presence. Their training also gave me the tools to create and hold space for others to have a healing encounter with Jesus.”
“Face to Face Ministries is awesome! I learned how to use current brain science to help encounter the living interactive presence of Immanuel (God with us) and practiced helping others interact with Jesus. This first step in helping others toward heart healing is amazingly effective and helpful for both myself and those I would like to help.”
