RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE OF DR BANING
He is a member of the multi ethnic and interdenominational Times Square Church, New York City. Times Square Church is pastored by Reverend David Wilkerson the author of the famous book The Cross and the Switchblade.
Dr Baning is a compassionate Christian Counselor with 10 years of counseling experience with people of diverse spiritual and ethnic backgrounds. He has been a member of Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Black, White, Latino, African and other Multi-racial churches. Due to this association with believers of diverse faith, he has gained a deep understanding of how certain doctrine and cultural backgrounds influence a person: spiritually, mentally, emotionally and relationally. This insight helps him to counsel people of diverse faith in their journey towards wholeness in Christ by the power of The Holy Spirit, The Bible, integration of Psychology and Science when needed.
His extensive studies and ministry around the world have given him a deep understanding and appreciation of the languages and culture of the people he counsels. These diverse cultural backgrounds, coupled with the multilingual talents also help him gain great insight into the relational and psychological dynamics of people of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
He is man of God with a deeper walk with The Lord Jesus Christ. He has been involved in ministry since childhood. He ministers in the healing and prophetic anointing. The Lord Jesus has healed, delivered, revived and restored many spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically and relationally through this ministry all around the world.
Dr Baning has experienced many severe sufferings, abuses and losses. These sufferings have built in him a deeper understanding and compassion for those who suffer in diverse ways. His very life is a testimony for the Glory of God. The gift of his gracious personality, coupled with his understanding, love, compassion, care and kindness bring hope and healing to many people that he comes into contact with and to God be all the Glory. Amen!
A pastor friend once told him, "Your name Godfried (God fried), means God has really fried you to make you His servant". To read about the testimony of God's grace in brother Godfried's life later on, please check. http://www.cpmi777.org/biography.htm.
You will be encouraged to know how God heals and delivers a man who has known suffering and difficulty in life. God will do the same for you.
I pray that you will be encouraged by the following scripture.
"So I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full
of peace as you believe in Him. May you overflow with hope through the
power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13 NLT)
Peace & Blessings
Dr. Godfried Baning
