Dynamic Retreats and Seminars Launched.

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, September 22, 2003 - A dynamic, life changing series of Personal Growth Retreats and Healing Seminars is now centered in suburban Los Angeles. For over 20 years, Ken Unger, Executive Director of One Life Ministries, has conducted unique retreats and seminars throughout the US and Caribbean. He says that people who have attended his events are amazed at how special they are and how powerful the effect has been on their lives.

"It's like a health spa for the soul," said one. Another commented that "I have been in therapy for years and have not accomplished in all those years as much as I did this weekend. I felt feelings I didn't know were there. I felt safe. I didn't want to come to this retreat and now I don't want to leave." Still another said, "Thank you. Healing my soul has allowed me to hear the Lord's voice, and bring a peace and joy to my heart and body."

"If they are to change their lives, people need more than information. They need transformation. All of our events are experiential. We help people experience the things that will change them from the inside out, not just from the neck up," Unger said.

Unger was a pastor for over 23 years in both United Methodist and nondenominational churches. He says that everything people learn and experience at his events is based on the scriptures. A flyer describing his Quantum Leap Retreat says, Christianity is the only religion whose founder's earthly mission is to heal and release the inner man. Jesus was anointed to 'heal the broken hearted, liberate those who were bruised, and set the captives free.' Following His lead, we use methods that are gentle, gracious and remarkably effective. We show people how He not only heals their own broken places, but also uses them as instruments of healing for others.

This echoes the motto of One Life Ministries that One Life - YOUR life, Can make a difference. "Everything we do at our retreats gives people tools to take home to continue their own growth and healing and enable them to help others."

In Ohio where he started his retreats they were used to train pastors and professional counselors and therapists, as well as lay people. "Too often," said Unger," people study theology, psychology and counseling because they want to get help for themselves. But most of their classes are theoretical, and not as practical as they could be. Counselors become merely advice givers instead of healers."

One Life Ministries offers events for churches, non profit organizations and even businesses. "I believe our events help people increase their emotional IQ, perhaps more effectively than any other events offered in the US; and when people's emotional IQ grows, they are more effective in every aspect of their lives.

Unger offers events to suit every budget from inexpensive one -day seminars to elaborate 4 1/2 day retreats. He also offers a money back guarantee. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, your tuition will be gladly refunded. "In over 20 years of leading these events, no one has ever asked for their money back," he chuckles. "That's because the Lord uniquely meets people at the point of their needs. When you're in partnership with Him, everyone's satisfied."                                        -30-
