Gena Barnhill

Gena desires to see people find hope and enjoy all the Lord has for His children. This fiery passion lead Gena and her husband, Press, to develop the prayer training manual, Simple Effective Prayer: A Model for Inner Healing. They have trained others nationally and internationally using this inner healing model. Their greatest reward is seeing people set free from brokenness and walk into their God-given destiny.

Gena has worked in the helping professions for the past 45 years in various capacities including working as a registered nurse, counselor, school psychologist, and autism consultant. She earned her Ph.D. in 2000 and concluded her professional work as a university professor in special education. She published over thirty-five articles on autism in peer-reviewed journals, authored four book chapters, and presented at hundreds of conferences on autism and special education.

Her passion has been, and continues to be, to help people overcome emotional barriers and realize their goals. Gena writes, speaks, and trains others in inner healing prayer.
