Member Spotlight

For this issue of the newsletter, we decided to do something a little different. We usually highlight one of our International Representatives and let you know how they are using the APS and Creation Therapy. This time, we are highlighting how to become an International Representative and the advantages of doing so. 

To be able to become an International Representative, you will either need to be a current member of Sarasota Academy or NCCA. If you have not taken Creation Therapy before, it would be helpful to order a copy of the textbook and become familiar with it. There is a $39 application fee, and the yearly dues are $195, which also includes a discounted rate on your APS profiles. You will be able to purchase Creation Therapy and also Created In God's Image at a discounted price to enroll your own students. In addition to English, Creation Therapy is available in Spanish, Portuguese and Bulgarian. 

As an International Representative, you have four primary marketing possibilities. 

1. to individuals who want to take the courses at home as independent study. Many Christians are interested in counseling and in learning how to resolve interpersonal conflicts. They want to know why we do the things we do. The insights provided in this training program heal relationships and provides needed ministry to the student. 

2. to churches and specialized ministries such as mission outreach centers, drug/alcohol abuse centers, prison ministries, day care centers, Christian K-12 schools, etc. Many churches are growing rapidly, and the pastor needs laypersons to complete a training program like Creation Therapy and provide counseling to the congregation and community under the church. Likewise, staff members across all ministries are becoming more aware of the need to understand people, develop their relationship skills, and build their ability to motivate others. 

3. to colleges. There are thousands of small Christian colleges, Bible schools and seminaries. Many of these schools are in desperate need of a training program such as Creation Therapy. Schools would purchase the training program directly from you at whatever fee you set and pass this cost directly to the student. 

4. to teach it in a classroom setting, in a Zoom classroom, or as a seminar/workshop. We provide a teacher's manual for Creation Therapy and Created In God's Image free of charge. 

Once your application is approved, you will be provided with your own Learn Online portal where you will order your courses and keep track of your students. You will assign your student a portal under you where they will take both their unit exams and view a video of Dr. Arno speaking on the course. We will ship the textbook, workbook, and our Code of Ethics to them. After the student has successfully completed Creation Therapy, they will submit their membership application and $75 payment to you, and you will forward them to us along with the IR Transfer for Membership form. 

As International Representatives, we are counting on you to properly serve and be a blessing to the students you enroll. You are representing Sarasota Academy and also the ministry God entrusted to your care. For this issue of our newsletter, we're taking a different approach. Instead of highlighting one of our International Representatives and sharing how they utilize APS and Creation Therapy, we're focusing on how you can become an International Representative and the benefits of doing so. 

To become an International Representative, you must be a current member of either Sarasota Academy or NCCA. If you haven't yet experienced Creation Therapy, we recommend ordering a copy of the textbook to familiarize yourself with the material.

The application fee is $39, and annual dues are $195, which also grants you a discounted rate on your APS profiles. You'll have the opportunity to purchase Creation Therapy and Created In God's Image at a reduced price to enroll your own students. Creation Therapy is available not only in English but also in Spanish, Portuguese, and Bulgarian.

As an International Representative, you have four primary marketing opportunities: 

1. Independent Study: You can reach out to individuals who wish to take the courses at home. Many Christians are interested in counseling and resolving interpersonal conflicts, seeking insight into their behaviors. This training program offers healing for relationships and valuable ministry for the students. 

2. Churches and Ministries: Opportunities exist within churches and specialized ministries, including mission outreach centers, drug/alcohol abuse facilities, prison ministries, daycare centers, and Christian K-12 schools. With the rapid growth many churches are experiencing, pastors often need laypersons trained in Creation Therapy to provide counseling to their congregations and communities. Staff across all ministries are increasingly recognizing the importance of understanding people and enhancing their relationship skills to motivate others effectively. 

3. Colleges: There are thousands of small Christian colleges, Bible schools, and seminaries that are in great need of a training program like Creation Therapy. These institutions can purchase the training program directly from you at a fee of your choosing, which they can then pass on to their students. 

4. Classroom Teaching: You can teach the program in various settings, including traditional classrooms, Zoom sessions, or seminars/workshops. We provide a teacher's manual for both Creation Therapy and "Created In God's Image" at no cost. 

Once your application is approved, you'll receive your own Learn Online portal to order courses and manage your students. You will create a portal for each student where they can complete their unit exams and watch a video of Dr. Arno discussing the course. We will send the textbook, workbook, and our Code of Ethics directly to your students. After a student successfully completes Creation Therapy, they will submit their membership application and a $75 fee to you, which you will then forward to us along with the IR Transfer for Membership form. 

As International Representatives, we rely on you to serve your students with integrity and to be a blessing to those you enroll. You are a representative of Sarasota Academy and the ministry entrusted to you.
