• How can we meet the needs of our community?
  
• Do leaders need counseling?
  
• When should someone be referred to a counselor or therapist?
  
• Who should we see? Psychologist or Christian Therapist?  What’s the difference?
  

ANTIA invites you to the Philadelphia Church on Saturday, 12 April at 19:00 for a special evening with American Christian therapist, Paula Hall.  Paula Hall has degrees in psychology and criminology, and has done graduate work in counseling. For the past eight years, Paula has worked with individuals who have faced great life challenges. She is a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, and has published research in the areas of sexual abuse. 

At All Nations Together in Antwerp, we want to follow the example of Jesus Christ in all areas of our lives. When we look at his life here on earth, we find that he spent time in community with people. He did not mind where they came from, what controlled them, or what they were doing. He loved them all!

We believe that all people need support, encouragement and guidance while journeying through life: Pain, discouragement and confusion are common to the human experience. We also believe that has the answer to life's problems: Ultimate healing is found in and through a relationship with Jesus Christ. God is the source of all healing - no matter if it's physical, spiritual, or emotional.

We also believe that we are called to bear one another's burdens and love one another. In doing this, we help show ultimate love and acceptance to society, and attempt to bring hope to the hopeless.
