ABOUT CRA'S TEACHING TEAM
by Rita Bennett

In case you have not met these beautiful teachers of the Emotionally Free® Courses, The Holy Spirit & You Gift Course, and others, it gives me a great privilege to introduce you.

Inner Healing teachers and prayers are some of the most beautiful people on earth. As they minister to others over the years "looking unto Jesus," they have become more and more like Him. Their brief testimonies will show you a little snapshot of these active teachers.

As they tell you about their own growing ministries, the steps that made them ready to set others free are through their commitment to Christ, their empowerment with the Holy Spirit, and receiving prayer for their own emotional healing.  Three vital steps.  I invite you to attend their upcoming seminars in 2007 across the United States and Africa. Their schedules will be announced on this page—check it regularly. What God has done for them, He wants to do for you!  

ELIZABETH GLOVER, Ph.D.
Eugene, Oregon

In 1994 I attended the Basic and Advanced Emotionally Free® Courses in Edmonds, WA. I immediately experienced the Lord's healing power for my emotional hurts, which I had been carrying with me for 45 years.  It was such a relief to finally give those hurts to Him and receive His unconditional love and healing!  For the past 12 years, the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to teach the Inner Wholeness Through the Lord's Prayer Course, as well as the Basic Emotionally Free® Media Course.

Becoming emotionally free is a wonderful renewal experience!

THE REVEREND G. BRUCE MAKOWSKI, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Pastoral Care Ministries
New Life Foursquare Church, Canby, Oregon       

The Emotionally Free® Course has become the basic training for all lay-pastoral counselors at New Life Foursquare Church.  My responsibility as head of Pastoral Care Ministries is to train, release, and supervise dedicated and Spirit-empowered prayer counselors who will bring the good news that Jesus Christ loves people, heals the brokenhearted, and sets the captives free.  Testimonies and changed lives reveal that God continues to use Rita Bennett's Emotionally Free Course  to lavish His healing grace upon hurting men, women, and children.   

In July 1998, God began a wonderful work of "soul healing" in my life through Rita's ministry and the Emotionally Free Basic Course.  Years of emotional hurt, unforgiveness, and anxiety were washed away in the presence of our Savior. As a result, I encouraged others to join me as we learned, experienced, and shared our healing encounter with others in our congregation.  A prayer counselor team was formed, trained, and continues to minister to our community by offering the Emotionally Free Basic Course, as well as individual prayer sessions.

Eight years later, I am excited that many people continue to report miracles of healing in their lives. To God be the glory.

THE REV. CLYDE & MARY MARTIN
The Church of the Ascension, Middletown, Ohio

We have been Emotionally Free® Course teachers since 1999 when we were released to teach by Rita at the request of our Priest.  Since that time we have taught both the Basic and Advanced Courses once or twice each year at our church.

The Emotionally Free Course has enabled the healing ministry of our church to grow over the years. Outgrowth of this ministry has produced: (1) Prayer Stations at each Sunday Eucharist; (2) Intercessors who pray daily for those on our lengthy prayer list; (3) an Emergency Telelphone Prayer Chain; and (4) Individual prayer counseling.   

Spanning these seven years, we have seen many healings of emotional and physical hurts of those who come seeking Jesus.  The wonderful freedom in Christ experienced by those who can open up and receive Him is beyond what any of us can express in words.

On a personal note, we have been healed (35 years later) of the hurt of losing our baby girl at birth.  Clyde has been freed from the bondage of childhood sexual abuse, and Mary, of being born to parents who spent nine months preferring a boy.

Our growth in Christ continues to enhance our enthusiasm and zeal for bringing this ministry to others.

THE REV. MICHAEL F. MESSINA, JR.
St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, Ocala, Florida

I have been involved with CRA andthe Emotionally Free Course since Sep-tember of 1997. I attended my first Basic Course at Church of the Holy Spirit in Osprey Florida. At that conference I received the release of the Holy Spirit, which has completely changed my life and ministry. Since then I have taught the Emotionally Free Basic and Advanced Courses at our church, where I serve as Rector.  

GAIL PATTON, Missionary
Sharing of Missions Abroad (SOMA), Woodbridge, Virginia

In 1993 the Emotionally Free Course was taught at my church in Virginia. I studied the material, pursued emotional healing for myself, and later began teaching.

In 1999 God gave me a vision to see the material available in the language of the people, first in Tanzania, then East Africa, and beyond. I worked with Rita, the Tanzanians, and SOMA to edit, translate, and publish the Emotionally Free syllabus into Kiswahili. SOMA has taught the course twelve times in Tanzania, and we have now trained their people in this ministry. The program is growing and expanding internationally. Through the Emotionally Free message, I believe God has provided the tools to accomplish the call He placed in my heart many years ago to set His people free.

ALICE RIVAS, B.A.
North Bend, Washington

I first learned of Rita Bennett and The Emotionally FreeCourse in 1998. I have been a devoted CRA facilitator and Course presenter ever since.

Emotionally Free is one of the most comprehensive foundational teachings available today.  It is everyone's duty to help disciple and equip the saints.  We are all called into the ministry of reconciliation and into a deeper understanding of who and what we are in Jesus Christ.

It is a privilege to teach Emotionally Free® and The Holy Spirit and You Gift Courses.  Both courses are scripturally-based fundamental teachings that every Christian should know. Rita Bennett is truly about the Father's business and wants everyone to know their authority in Christ.  

I am presently working towards my Masters at Fuller Theological Seminary. I wish every seminarian student could receive these dynamic teachings.  Everyone needs to be equipped with the word of God and be fully activated in God's end-time army.  

I have taught EF in North Bend and in Bellevue, Washington where people continually request that I present this course again.

RUPERT WALWORTH
Gaiseni Compassionate Ministries, Silverdale, Washington

I met Rita at TBN studios in Washington state in 1992 where I prayed with people on the phone. This new relationship put me on an escalated soul healing path.

With Rita's encouragement and the Holy Spirit's  leading, I grew in healing and confidence to pray for others. I subsequently began teaching the Emotionally Free and the Holy Spirit & You Gifts Courses.  Over time, I have joyfully witnessed the work of the Holy Spirit in healing people's emotional wounds.  My relationship with CRA, and my passion for healing has led me to the Philippines, Taiwan, and Romania, where I met my beautiful wife, Ani.

Together we share a devotion to helping people receive healing.

SHIRLEY WILSON
Inner Healing Director,
St. Alban's Episcopal Church, Edmonds, Washington

I have been working with Rita in the Emotionally Free ministry for 18 years, which makes me CRA's oldest teacher and facilitator. In the beginning, I felt totally inadequate for the task, but quickly learned that when the Lord calls you out of your comfort zone, He also equips you for the work.

I have received a great deal of healing for both myself and my family; the most important being my husband's salvation after 30 years of intercession. Were it not for the Lord's hand, I would have probably experienced burnout after all these years—this work is always fresh and new to me. I always come away from a seminar feeling renewed and with a deep sense of the Lord's blessing.
