Pastoral Care :: Stories

Would you recommend Sabbath Rest to someone else?  Why or why not?
 
"Absolutely – I’m going to start with my pastor and his wife.  I’m confident I’ll be talking it up to everyone I have opportunity to talk with. This is a must process that all believers nee to be educated about and given the opportunity to experience in order to be effective representatives of Christ in an increasingly confused and dangerously shallow Christian culture here the U.S.  If an individual doesn’t know how to meet in a meaningful way with Christ in order to receive from him how can the church body be an effective witness to the world.  We must start with our own personal lives with Christ.  Thank you brother Jim and sister Lois.  May God bless you richly as you continue to pass on this blessing to others."  K.L.

 
"Yes.  The perspective of resting on God, plus the regimen for realizing this, is a much needed priority in today’s world.  Would also recommend the retreat as a focused way to gain first or renewed exposure to the concept."  D.L.

 
"Yes.  I think this is missing in so many people’s lives…and they probably don’t even realize it."  J.C.

 
"Absolutely – I would love for our prayer ministry people to have this opportunity.  Also – great for couples!" J.C.

 
"Absolutely.  It was the Key I did not have on my key ring that unlocked the door I needed to open."  G.P.G.

 
"Yes! I would.   To seek that rest from our Lord. To come into His rest; not of this world. Time of totally intimate with our God."  L.G.

 
"Oh yes, I would recommend it to anyone else.  Because …it is good!  It gives us a chance to refocus. I received affirmation from the body of Christ about difficulties in my life that would have possibly remained unspoken and unexamined.  It is a graceful experience!  Thank you for Jim and Lois for this amazing ministry.  You minister to those who minister to others."  N.M.
