Celebrate Recovery Ministry Leader,
Our CR group was recently very blessed to have Lloyd Vandenberg and his wife Cathy join us
for our meeting and speak to our group. Lloyd has a powerful testimony of deliverance from the
bondage of an addiction to pornography and he not only shared his testimony of how Christ set
him free, he also brought powerful insights from God’s word on the breaking of any addiction
and had a profound effect on many in our group.
Cathy likewise shared separately with just our ladies and her message of breaking free
from codependency and shame as the spouse of an addict brought healing and encouragement to
many of the women walking through similar circumstances in our group.
We have found that their forthright and open discussion of what is often very sensitive
and difficult subject matter has unleashed a spirit of vulnerability and accountability among our
group that continues to bring healing and freedom to peoples’ lives.
As a result of our positive experience, I would recommend that you invite Lloyd and
Cathy to speak at your ministry as well. Not only will they bring powerful encouragement as
they share their testimony for you, I believe they would also be perfect as special speakers for a
focused night dealing with addictions, or a seminar or teaching event focused on breaking the
power of addiction through the 12 Christ centered steps.
SIncerely,
Lisa Schappell
