GREG NETTLE – PRESIDENT, STADIA GLOBAL CHURCH PLANTING
“My only regret about hiring Phil Ling as a coach was that I didn’t do it ten years ago. Phil is an amazing coach at a personal, church-wide and global organization level. One of the best ‘Kingdom Return on Investments’ I have ever made.”
BRETT ANDREWS – LEAD PASTOR, NEW LIFE CHURCH – CHANTILLY, VA
“New wine needs new wineskins. Phil’s strength is offering fresh wineskins. He doesn’t just offer a cookie-cutter template, he thinks dynamically. He applies proven principles to fresh challenges. The result is a personalized campaign, a fresh approach, and the experience of watching God do a new thing in your church.”
