Testimony
Of Dean & Phylis
What to say about Basil as I continue to sift
through the mountain of wonderful material give to us
during out two weeks with him? We came to be trained in our counseling
skills, but we did not escape
without having some personal work done on each on us, and that alone
was worth the trip.
Our original reason for coming was to gain additional perspective in
discipleship in small group format,
and in marital counseling, and we got both in abundance. Basil kept
his
printer going until we thought
we would have to pay extra baggage fees to get home with the-material.
He shared personal
experiences, including failures and successes with clients, and he
challenged us with situations that we
would face. He showed us thought provoking and inspiring videos and
recommended several books for
additional reading. And if that wasn't enough, he used showed us some
of the most imaginative props
that melded perfectly into whatever point he was making. Basil is a
warm, familiar, and wise man,
making us completely at ease throughout the absolutely wonderful two
weeks he spent with us, and he
and his wonderful wife, Elayne, even took us out to lunch.
