After Suspending Counseling for Several Weeks for Medical Reasons, We have Resumed with 56 Sessions since Sept. 1st. in 9 States & Germany
As we begin our 27th Year of Ministry Under the Direction of the Lord Jesus, Let’s look back at His Ministry.

The Center was Incorporated in South Dakota on August 12, 1997 as a non-profit Ministry. Since that time the Lord has opened doors for ministry work in 31 states and 16 countries on 6 continents with training material translated in 3 languages. Counselees have flown in to the Center from as far away as New York, California, West Africa, and N. Vietnam. Seminars on Spiritual Warfare have been conducted in 7 states and 3 foreign countries. Training was also conducted during Wednesday evening service at a church in Australia. In 2009 I presented at the Christian Medical & Dental Association National Convention at Ridgecrest Conference Center, Ridgecrest, N.C. on the subject “Dealing with the Demonic in a Clinical Healthcare Setting.” This being an outcome of their doctors and dentists I led on mission trips to Haiti and the demonic situations and miracles they personally witnessed. Also, I’ve been called as an expert witness in three court cases, with one criminal case involving the demonic and attempted murder.

Prayer and Financial Partners You are so Appreciated. Thank you!

What has made all this possible? The faithful prayer partners and financial supporters who have been a vital part of this ministry through the years.

Jesus has led you and you have faithfully followed His direction. Thank you once again for all you have done through the years and continue to do as the Lord leads.

Extending An Invitation!

The Lord tells us in Ephesians 6:10 and following that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Furthermore, in John 14:12 our Savior Jesus states that “Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.” This includes all of us as believers in Jesus Christ.

Among past training events, I have taught on spiritual warfare and our authority in Jesus Christ during Wednesday evening service at a church in Australia via video.

I would like to extend to your Church or study group an offer to teach on our enemy and how to deal with evil as born-again believers and be victorious through our relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior. This can be accomplished on your schedule via video. If your church or group has a screen and a computer, it can be easily accomplished also with the ability for Q & A.

The charge? In order to offer this to large and small Churches and Church groups we only ask for a love offering, if that is possible. Our intent is to educate and strengthen the local Church and believers. Money is not the factor as to whether we are willing. If interested call the Center and discuss how we might help your ministry with a training event.

Greetings from Roger and Diane

I am happy to say that after a Summer and Fall of dealing with health issues I am feeling well and moving forward in ministry. The medication for the lung disease and Rheumatoid arthritis appears to be having the desired effect and the foot injury under the right foot, after about 3 and 1/2 months of healing and restrictions in walking and not driving a car has just about completely healed now. I must say when the doctor gave me clearance to be able to drive again that first drive was an experience.

Diane has been a trooper through all of this and has seen to my every need. What a blessing she has been, and I couldn’t want a better wife and “nurse.”

Now as life finally moves forward again, we are planning on finally making it out to Alabama next weekend to see Jackson play football and Kye play in the marching band. The drive is not long, maybe an hour and a half so I believe I can sit that long.

Then in the next several weeks Amy and the family will be visiting us from Ohio and we are so looking forward to their arrival.

Thanks for all your prayers and financial support as we went through this personal battle with health this past several months. It is now time to move forward in ministry. As long as I have strength and breath, I want to continue serving Jesus. Someday I just want to hear Him say “well done good and faithful servant.”

Prayer and financial partners just please continue to partner as our blessed Lord Jesus directs.

God bless you!

July 15th to September 1 –
65 Counseling Sessions were Scheduled
A Counseling LOW for 1 1/2 Months — But Why?

Included were Sessions in Germany

Why So Few Sessions?

After the Emergency Room episode on my birthday, June 2nd, I was instructed to consult with a Rheumatologist and a Pulmonary Medicine Doctor, I was already consulting with an Orthopedic Surgeon who was treating a wound on the bottom of one of my feet and I had been instructed to remain completely off the foot.

My appointment with the Pulmonary Medicine Doctor turned out to be a surprise. He diagnosed me with Lung Disease and scheduled additional tests. He also was able to go back through records to find old chest x-rays and informed me that the disease was showing up as far back as 5 years ago but I was never informed by my family doctor who had ordered the test.

That appointment with the Pulmonary Medicine doctor took place on July 25th.

Then on August 9th I had an appointment with a Rheumatologist who diagnosed me with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was familiar with Arthritis which has played havoc with my joints for years, but this? Interesting! I had been experiencing a lot of pain for some time and had recently been given a steroid prescription by my family doctor until I could complete this appointment. The Rheumatologist gave me steroid medication also, and it has helped reduce the pain while at the same time being told by all of them that the medication would inhibit the healing of the open wound on the bottom of the foot. I had been off my foot for 2+ months now. With all the doctor appointments, tests, having to remain immobile and at home, and the pain, I chose to concentrate on getting well and therefore greatly reduced the counseling sessions during the last six weeks.

Then this past Monday I had a follow-up appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon who has been seeing me every couple weeks to keep close eye on my foot. Monday, he did release me to walk on that foot in house only. I am not to walk out in the yard even but just small steps room to room. I will be seeing him again next week for a recheck.

On September 8th I have a virtual appointment with the Rheumatologist then on 19th of September more tests and an appointment with the Pulmonary Doctor.

So, What Lies Ahead in Ministry

For the last month I have chosen to greatly reduce my counseling in order to concentrate on getting my health under control. Now 9 doctor appointments and other tests later I am ready to move forward. Around the 1st of August I notified my counselees that I would not be available, with a few major exceptions, to see them until the first of September due to my health. I made reference to another Christian Counselor if they preferred.

I will begin seeing counselees beginning Monday, September 4th. I know, it’s Labor Day but the two I will be seeing have many needs and I cannot ignore them.

I would be hopeful that our prayer and financial partners would continue with us so that we can get back to the ministry the Lord Jesus has placed us in for 26+ years now and which we plan to continue serving Him in as long as health permits and He tarries His return at the rapture of the Church.

Prayer partners please consider keeping us in your daily prayers both for our health and for the counselees nationally and internationally.

Prayer and Financial Partners You are so Appreciated. Thank you!

Financial partners, we would not have made it through the last six weeks had it not been for your prayerful support. We thank the Lord each day for His leadership in directing

all of our prayer and financial partners to give. We know the prayers and financial support are coming in as partners listen to the Lord and follow His leading. Thank you partners and thank you dear Jesus.

Please Continue to give as our blessed Lord Jesus directs. God bless you!

June 1st, 2023 to July 15th there were 97 Counseling Sessions Scheduled with 38% of them Cancelled

There were 97 hours of counseling scheduled between June 1st, and July 15th in 14 states and internationally counseling sessions were conducted in Germany. However, 37 hours or 38% had to be cancelled due to illness.

It all began on June 2nd, my 78th Birthday when I was taken to the Emergency Room.

After spending 71/2 hours, I was released with a diagnosis of Pneumonia, and an infected wound on the bottom of my right foot. 2 antibiotics were prescribed. Then three days later I was notified that a blood culture had been completed and I was put on a third antibiotic which was then removed two days later as another doctor said it was not necessary and that the first two prescribed would be all that was necessary. After spending two weeks out of service and resting, I have slowly started seeing counselees again along with an orthopedic surgeon, and the family doctor. I am scheduled to see a Pulmonary Disease Doctor as follow-up after Pneumonia and a Rheumatologist to check for the possibility of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am feeling much better and have gotten back to a fairly regular counseling schedule in the last 2 weeks. The foot wound is still healing, and I am praying it is completely healed in short order.

Prayer and Financial Partners You are so Appreciated. Thank you!

Prayer partners, I appreciate your continued prayers. Financial partners, I do appreciate your donations to the Center as the finances are a little bit tight right now.

Contacted About Testifying as an Expert Witness in a Criminal Case in Illinois

An attorney in Illinois has contacted me about my willingness to testify in a pending criminal case involving a church ministry in Illinois, I have sent my curriculum vitae which reflects my experience giving expert testimony in criminal and family court. My last experience testifying in criminal court was testifying for the State of Florida in a case where I took the stand at 9:00 in the morning, and except for lunch break, was on the stand all day until court adjourned at 4pm. Time will tell whether I’ll be called.

Greetings from Roger and Diane Boehm

With pneumonia I was instructed to remain at home (except for doctor appointments and to rest. Additionally, due to the wound on the bottom of my right foot I was to remain off the foot with a wheelchair being ordered so that I could get around the house with Diane’s assistance. Well, that wasn’t going to work when we measured the doors inside the house as they were all too small to allow the wheelchair to pass through.  How about crutches we thought? No, a bad shoulder needing replacing. Well, OK, what about the knee scooter? Wrong again since the last time I needed a knee

scooter one of my replaced knees and the scooter, shall we say, didn’t get along well. Oh well! Just been staying off the foot just as much as I possibly can with Diane seeing that my needs are met by serving me as I sit in a recliner, and she served me. She has been wonderful.

There were 121 hours of counseling sessions between April 15th and June 1st in 14 states and internationally counseling sessions were conducted with counselees in Germany. This is an increase since the last six-week period of 6 additional sessions. We scheduled new counselees in South Carolina, Virginia and California. Staying busy and thank you so much for your prayers.

Congratulations to our Latest Graduates who Recently Completed their Degrees through our Training Program

Andrew McCraw – recently completed our degree program and has received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Counseling through Colorado Theological Seminary and his license through the National Christian Counselors Association with an Advanced Certification in Integrated Marriage and Family Therapy.

Melony Kolody – previously completed her B.A. in Christian Counseling through the Center and has now just completed her Master’s Degree in Clinical Pastoral Counseling also through Colorado Theological Seminary. She is now licensed through the National Christian Counselors Association as a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor with an Advanced Certification in Crisis and Abuse Therapy. Although we offer a number of seminary options, both chose CTS for their degrees.

Our emphasis here at the Center is helping those in need of counseling regardless of ability to pay. However, we have been a Certified Academic Institution through the National Christian Counselor’s Association for over 20 years and, although we do not advertise and it is not the main thrust of our ministry, we will assist an individual interested in our degree program in Christian counseling and licensing. We offer degrees (Bachelor through Ph.D.) in Clinical Christian Psychology through a number of Seminaries at an extremely reduced price.

All Book Sale Proceeds by Roger Boehm go to help Support the Ongoing Ministry of the Center

Over 20 books have been written to date since the inception of the Center in 1997. Most of these books are in stock and available through the Center’s website store which gives a description of the content of each book.

Greetings from Roger and Diane

Greetings to all of our friends, relatives, and prayer and financial partners. We pray that you all are safe, healthy and happy.

We are doing fairly well all things considered. Diane is loving the warmer weather and the ability to get out in the yard and work with keeping her flowers watered and the bushes trimmed. In addition to that she works on keeping me well fed (oh what a good cook she is) and helping to see that my needs are met as do I toward her. 45 years of marriage coming up this year and we have stuck to our marriage vows through thick and thin. I am blessed.

I’ll be 78 on June 2nd and as I think back on my life it has been a challenge, an adventure and a blessing. I built an amateur rocket in High school and launched it under Army supervision at Ft. Knox Kentucky to an altitude of 14,000 feet. In early adulthood I built an airplane out wood, powered by a VW Beetle engine, got it approved by the FAA and flew it about 100 hours. I also flew as a commercial pilot in general aviation and was blessed with children.

But at age 33, as I look back, life truly began when I placed my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Three months later God called me into the ministry and Dian and I have been on an adventure ever since. We have been called into pastoral ministry in Alabama, Missouri, Minnesota, south Dakota, and Florida. We have served as missionaries with the Home Mission Board and have obtained seven degrees including three doctorate degrees in Theology and Christian Psychology. We’ve also conducted training and evangelistic meetings in Haiti, West Africa and Cuba and have counseled individuals via video technology on six continents. We are still active today, as you know, counseling individuals across the U.S. and other countries as well as assisting as a Clinical Supervisor to those desiring training, licensing and degrees in the area of Christian Counseling.

It has been an unbelievable adventure and a blessing. Jesus is still the wonderful Counselor and I enjoy working as a facilitator as He brings about healing. It has been a joy and a challenge serving Jesus. I hope someday He will say to me at the Judgement Seat of Christ “well done faithful servant” and I pray the same for all our partners. When will I be retiring? Still haven’t found that word in the Bible. Let’s all keep serving Jesus until the Lord calls us home or the Rapture occurs, and that could be soon!

God bless you all,

115 Counseling Sessions
March 1, 2023 to April 15, 2023

There were 115 hours of counseling sessions between March 1st and April 15th in 13 states and internationally counseling sessions were conducted with counselees in Germany and Canada.

A “Thank You” Card Received from a Counselee in Minnesota Who has Just Completed Counseling
[Thank You Prayer & Financial Partners for your help to Keep the Center Assisting Others]
“Roger. I just want to say thank you one more time. I hear very little conversation in my head these days. It’s so peaceful — I have more confidence & Joy. The ambiguity I’ve lived with is gone. The prayers and authoritative wording you gave me are empowering. I understand the demonic empire and the concept of demonization to a greater degree. The “Right of Birth” -whew! Some of it challenged my comprehension level, but it was so intriguing. What a ton of work for you. Thank you for compassionately using your intelligence to help people like me. God bless you, your family & ministry.
‘K’ from Minnesota”
Some Food for Thought

One Friday evening recently we attended an area church that put on a passion play about the death and resurrection of Jesus. It was a two hour event. At the end of the event the pastor had an altar call and 20 people responded and made salvation decisions. Then the next evening, on Saturday, one of the teenage girls who had responded to that altar call and trusted Jesus as her Savior, died in an auto accident. How true that after a sermon is presented, the invitation or altar call is the climax of the service.

Description: Altar call at evangelistic meetings I preached in Port-de-Paix, Haiti in 2008, 4000+ were in attendance, 958 salvation decisions. Heaven got a little fuller, Jesus was glorified.

And what a blessing when souls are saved as our job as Christians is to fill heaven. It’s an awesome responsibility that the pastor fulfilled that evening as the Holy Spirit brought conviction. As believers we don’t want anyone slipping past us into eternity without Jesus.

Prayer and Financial Partners

Thank you again for your continuing partnership in this national and worldwide ministry. You are such a blessing to the Center work and to those finding wholeness and freedom through our blessed Savior.

Greetings from Roger and Diane

Greetings to all of our friends, relatives, and prayer and financial partners. We pray that you all are safe, healthy and happy.

We have had a fairly active month and a half with family and friends. At the beginning of March two friends from east Georgia came to visit over a weekend and we had an enjoyable time just visiting and catching up on events and family happenings. Then we spent an overnight visit to Talladega visiting with Jackson and Kye, and, oh yes, almost forgot to mention Julie and Kory too. But then we as grandparents all know who is first on our minds when visiting.

This past weekend the Burel’s were visiting us and we went to Easter Sunday service with Jackson & Kye (and their parents of course), and then hosted Easter Sunday lunch with 17 extended family members visiting, eating and enjoying one another’s company. It had rained all day Saturday, but Easter Sunday cleared up and was a fairly pleasant day.

As I write this newsletter on Monday April 10th Amy is driving in tonight from Cincinnati for a couple days. She will be helping Diane with some of her planting and yard work and we do look forward to her being here with us. My close personal relationship with Arthur-itis (bless his little heart) is becoming more of a pain and assisting me, as always, in losing sleep at night. However, a week ago I stopped by the surgical center and received another shot in the hip and have gotten much relief, if only for a couple months. The doctor keeps saying I’m not ready for a replacement yet and to stick with the shots for now.

We have been praying for all of you and appreciate all you do for us so very much. God is good and we give Him praise and glory for the prayers and financial support you send our way. Thank you all so very much for your support of the ministry and your many prayers. And may our blessed Lord bless you and keep you under His wing.

God bless you all,
