...that ALL of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. - John 17:21, NIV
Please pray that Dr. Paul Friesen, of Home Improvement Ministry (H.I.M.), would become a peacemaker and learn to show God's love. Let's love them and prayerfully work for love and peace.
Dr. Paul Friesen, of Home Improvement Ministries (H.I.M.) marriage and family ministry cannot be recommended for providing a safe, nurturing, caring or godly environment especially after their retreat. This website is not associated with H.I.M or Paul Friesen. Dr. Friesen does not even allow his retreat presenters to communicate with anyone after the retreat. He preaches a great message about God's love in marriage and family, but only seems to have love on the surface, while in secret he acts totally the opposite of love. This 'fake love' is very enticing and draws you in. But Paul Friesen secretly has passive-aggressive and hostile behavior and does not make efforts to communicate and care and love or try to reconcile according to the scriptures (see below). This is controlling behavior. Please pray that they could simply put on Christ's love and live out what they preach. However let's love and care about them and believe in them in prayer that they will be convicted and repent from their unloving behavior.

First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. - Matthew 5:23-24, NIV (Also Matthew 18:15-17 and Galatians 6:1-2); ...prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. - Ephesians 4:12-13, NIV
