BEARING FRUIT FOR GOD'S GLORY
(Testimonies from people who have experienced God at work through our training)
The Christian and Missionary Alliance (SW District Team Leadership Conference) – Hot Springs, AR
“I feel this training is very important for all believers. It is the practical application of the gospel message.”
Anchor of Hope Church – Denver, CO
“Christ-like Dialogue clearly and accurately presented the standard Christ has set, challenged me to look at where I fall short and encouraged me to conform to His standard.”
“The Christ-like Dialogue seminar was very rich in content and application. Excellent job of making the Word of God relevant and practical.”
PeacemakerMinistries’ Staff – Billings, MT
“This is an excellent study of how we are to reflect our Lord in our words with others.”
“Exceptional material – Biblical and very practical.”
Life Impact Ministries – Lancaster, PA
“This training has made me see the importance of not always being “right” but open to what the other person is saying particularly in regards to our daughter who has turned her back on the Lord.”
Mission Hills Church – Greenwood Village, CO
“What a wonderful simple basic truth – every conflict is an opportunity to become more “Christ-like”. It changes my perspective!”
Dayton Ministerial Association – Dayton, TN
“It is truly encouraging to me to see believers striving to interact with others Biblically, and to see that the way of Christ does bear fruit. As a young person, seeing this example encourages me to continue “running the race.” Thank you for teaching me the Word of God and for living by example!”
Colorado Christian University – Lakewood, CO
“Christ-like Dialogue is key to maturity in Christ and building relationships with other believers and nonbelievers alike.”
“If all Christians actually applied these principles we really could have a powerful impact on society.”
The Downing House – Denver, CO
“Much needed – the most important task – helping to make true followers of Jesus.”
Bible Fellowship Church (Pastors, Elders, Deacons Leadership Retreat) – Stroudsburg, PA
“I have always been one to duck out of the way of conflict, avoid confrontation, but after this teaching I’ve come to realize that in doing this I am avoiding opportunities to demonstrate and show Christ’s love and in growing further with Him.”
“The major adjustment for me is to begin to exercise grace before truth in dialoging with people. To express love with gentleness will be a goal for me to achieve as I work with people as an elder.”
The Navigators – Colorado Springs, CO
“Extremely valuable. I will be praying for the mind transformation I need to apply these principles to my life. I will also be looking to share them with my political activist son.”
“Issues and conflict are an opportunity to practice love, especially when we don’t agree. Hope to reach out to my homosexual nephew.”
Denver Seminary – Denver, CO
“I wish I had had Building Bridges Not Walls 10 years ago. I’ve learned it’s not the issues that matter, but the people – the relationships – learning to love one another as Christ has loved us.”
Cherry Hills Community Church – Highlands Ranch, CO
“Wonderful organization and message to help us grow in Christ.”
“Christ-like Dialogue training has allowed me to change from being a “Dictator” to a father motivated by love for my children.”
Episcopal-Baptist-Presbyterian-Vineyard Denominations – Greeley, CO
“Awesome to point out the biblical way to communicate. This was great.”
“Reminded me that God loved me when I didn’t deserve it so I should love others even when I feel they don’t deserve my love.”
Congregation Roeh Israel – Denver, CO
“This brought profound conviction of what ‘we children of God’ fall so short of, but that it isn’t hopeless. If we abide in Christ (truly), we would bring others to Him and God would be glorified. Everyone who professes to know Him should experience this class!”
“I’m sorry I didn’t know sooner. I have ruined many relationships in being so harsh/blunt. I’ve been labeled right wing because I believe the Bible is true. I just presented wrong.”
Carlisle Brethren in Christ Church – Carlisle, PA
“A basic life changing attitude adjustment; a real call to me as a Christian to check my attitude and seek love first in all my conversations.”
Redeemer Lutheran Church – Fort Collins, CO
“God has reminded me to focus daily on communicating with others with His love as the primary driver, not my own selfish ambitions.’
Christian Legal Society of Metro Denver – Denver, CO “This has made me think and brought me back to center on what is really important in my life and practice.”
Trinity Lutheran Church – Greeley, CO
“The material is excellent and will be a great tool for me in guiding my own life and to use in leading Bible studies.”
“This is Scripture-based and helps us practice what the Bible preaches.”
Bear Valley Church – Lakewood, CO
“It brings us back to God’s love and how to effectively witness to it.”
“This was the most helpful class on relationship building that I’ve ever taken. You could actually see it working during the role play.”
Brazilian Church Leaders who attended our seminar in answer to the following question: "In what way(s) has God challenged you during these two days?"
“Making me see how much my actions are not within the perfect maturity of Christ. That I need to love others more like I love myself. (I have loved myself more).”
“I learned to place my life at God’s beckon, making my life available to God. I came away realizing I was more selfish than I thought.”
“I want to dialogue with people around me like Christ would dialogue. I want to resolve conflicts like Christ would resolve them. I want to pass on these teachings to my community.”
“To walk in the truthfulness of the Holy Spirit (live in the way the Spirit would live) – to build relationships through dialogue – to value and invest time with people.”
2nd and 3rd year law students at Handong International Law School in Pohang, South Korea in answer to the following question:
“In what way(s) have today’s sessions helped prepare you to be a servant leader who bears witness unto Jesus Christ for God’s glory?”
“The word “servant-leader” is paradox in view of this world. But not in Jesus Christ. He was a King, but He served us. And this love changed us.
Today’s session clearly exhibited this essence of Christianity.”
“Replace the mind of me with the mind of Christ is the most important thing for me to be a servant leader.”
“Most of all, I learned how big God’s love is. Once we recognize that truth, I think Christians can put God’s words and commands in our lives. Therefore, I decided to have spiritual relationship with God by prayer every day in order to not forget how much He loves me.”
“I realized that loving others is an order. As Jesus loved me without conditions, I should love others. That’s the first step to being a servant leader.”
“After Jesus’ resurrection, He visited Peter and asked him three times with same question; that is, “Do you love me?” Finally, Peter confessed his love with all his heart and he became great servant leader who revealed God’s glory.”
