Hope Institute offered me the knowledge and hope to become a layman and leader in our local church. I learned my spiritual gifts are exhortation and teaching. When I attended the Bridge of Hope classes, I learned how to identify, define, and confront issues that I would have not had the confidence or courage to address in my marriage, with my children, or on my job. Learning about the differences in emotional temperaments helped me to
give and receive information needed to promote spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical
growth.

Carolyn Scharkey, October 2001

It has been my honor and privilege to have known and worked with Dr. Raymond Fabing for the past forty years. During this time, I have found Dr. Fabing to be a man of extreme integrity and work ethics.

Dr. Fabing’s ministry has included the development of a very effective series of courses that are designed to aide both pastors and lay people in fulfilling the call of God on their lives. Dr. Fabing has organized and conducted numerous conferences where he has trained numerous pastors in the areas of administration, counseling and care giving. Each of these areas have been designed to aide the pastoral staff in effectively coordinating their activities for maximum effectiveness.

Dr. Harry J. Drennan, Journey In Truth Ministries, April 2012

The Hope Institute played an essential role in my Life Coaching Training. The coursework was a catalyst that inspired me to dive deeper into several topics. Those looking for encouragement in the helping industry will benefit from Hope Institute.

Peter Schrock, February 2024

Hope Institute has taken my life and ministry to a new level. I have worked with children, teens, and their parents for over 25 years along with leading mission trips. Hope Institute opened up so many more doors to understanding not just myself but others as well. We are designed a little differently and once we understand how we are made up, it enlightens us on how it impacts our lives, then we understand who we truly are and why. Hope Institute does just that and so much more, it helps take your life to a new understandable level. I wish I had taken these courses earlier on in life and ministry. I highly recommend taking this course of study. It really impacts you, your family, work, ministry, and everyday life!
