Testimonials

"I became an instructor to create a community for those struggling with mental health in the church. I wanted to share with others that mental illness is not something that we can simply pray away but rather it is an opportunity to bear witness to God's grace and character. I share my diagnosis with others so they can see me as a role model, as someone who is living with depression, but still pours their heart out for God daily and during church service."
-Mark Lanning

"[Anchor International] has been the open door for people that believe that followers of Jesus don't struggle with mental health issues. It has opened hearts and minds to know that Jesus loves them in the middle of their mess."
-Scott Bloyer, Lead Pastor Elevation Christian Church

"Colorado community church partners with [Anchor International] because we feel that without offering the foundation of a biblical outlook when addressing mental disorders, the process of healing can be fruitless. [Anchor International] provides thoughtful, Jesus-focused curriculum that helps participants recognize their identity in Christ first do they can then embrace effective strategies for healing from there. We would truly have no mental health ministry without [Anchor International]!"
-Beth Lang, Chosen Coordinator, Colorado Community Church
