Feedback from a Training Event “Excellent presentation.”   “Coming today was a gift from God! Ron Deal has a heart for the families that have been ignored and shunned in the church. He knows the dynamics of stepfamilies and has tools to equip them to know and love God’s best for their lives.”   “Thanks for a great workshop!” Plus, 100% of participants had their expectations met by the workshop and 90% ranked the presentation as "extremely useful" to their ministry or work.
