Hello!
This letter is to give you a brief introduction to us and the concept of inner healing as taught by Elijah
House.
First we want to tell you up front that we are not professional counselors, nor are we officially associated
with Elijah House.
Because of the many people who have lived with us and their various needs, it became evident that we
needed solid and biblically based training in the rudiments of counseling. That is what led us to Elijah
House. Beck and I completed the Elijah House Basic School in December of 1999 and since that time,
have asked the Lord to intern us in the things we learned. Since then the Lord has brought people our
way and we have become involved in lay counseling.
Elijah House’s training is distinctive in that it emphasizes the importance of inner healing. In it’s
essence… inner healing is a process of tracing bad fruit in our lives to their roots. Often negative fruit can
be traced to roots relating to three key spiritual laws:
1. Judge not lest you be judged…
2. Honor your father and mother…
3. As a man sows, so shall he reap.
Once roots are uncovered, forgiveness is often a central part of the healing process. Other elements
include repentance, dealing with destructive habit structures and developing new disciplines to walk in
God’s ways.
Attached you will find a wavier and our policies on confidentiality and cost of services. If you have further
questions, feel free to ask,
Sincerely,
WAVIER
I understand that Andrew & Beckie McNiece are non-professionals and function in a lay counseling role
only. I agree to hold them harmless in any and all ways with regard to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness
of any counsel I receive and/or from any outcomes or results from that counsel.

COST OF SERVICES
As non-professionals, we do not charge for counseling services. Financial needs are none the less a fact
of life and people receiving counseling are encouraged to donate what they can and as the Lord would
lead them.
CONFIDENTIALITY
We believe matters discussed in counseling must be held in the highest confidence and we have imposed
a strict policy of maintaining such confidentiality. Nothing shared in counseling is released to anyone
outside the counseling session except under the following circumstances:
1. Consent is given to share.
2. My wife and I work as a team, therefore we presume what is shared with one of us may be shared
with the other.
3. If we suspect a person to be a danger to him/herself or others or to be gravely disabled, or if child
abuse or neglect is discovered, we feel a moral obligation to share any pertinent information relating to
these specific matters to appropriate authorities.
4. A court orders information to be shared.
