| "The retreat was a truly life changing experience. The love, knowledge, and professionalism the team displayed was beyond compare - they were incredibly Christ-like. The episodic exercises brought healing to my soul. (I am still using many of the tools for my own benefit and have shared with my counselees who are now gaining great liberty.) The entire experience not only allowed me, but invited me, to be where I was while at the same time drawing me beyond to a deeper Christ experience. The week was most definitely a defining moment in my life (and particularly my ministry) and I am eternally grateful to Dr. Wardle and the team. " - Kathie |

| "The retreat was transformational for me! I have known the truths of God's love and grace from a very young age, but those truths never fully penetrated my heart, because deep down I have always felt alone and fundamentally unloveable. But during the retreat I encountered Jesus in a way that I didn't know was possible, and now I know, I really know that I am infinitely loved and loveable to God, and that I have never been, nor will I ever be alone. The Holy Spirit helped me to experience God's infinite love and tenderness in a tangible, life-changing (heart-changing) way, and I will never be the same!" - Sheila Harry |
|
| "I had never before in my life felt so safe in a group of people. This is a place where the striving to “keep up appearances” and all the masks and armor of protection that I thought I needed to protect myself, could drop to the ground. The caregivers poured themselves out for us, and were Jesus with skin on. They tenderly came along side of me, always bringing me to Jesus. My husband got a new wife. My children got a new mother. My patients have a new physician." - Michelle Dayton, MD |
