TestimonialsI read an article about Faces in The Outlook and was excited to go on a retreat.I had suffered from depression for many years and was struggling with a forgiveness issue. Faces of Christ was just what God had planned for me to experience and share in what Christ did for us on the Cross. I was challenged to surrender it all to God and then receive His wonderful gift of unconditional love. I attended the 8 week follow up study and realized what a gift it is to have been a part of this wonderful retreat. If you have longed to feel a special closeness to our Lord, Faces is the place for you. - Wanda White 2005
Let me begin by saying that in almost 60 years of being known as a "Christian", Faces is, to date, the most profound spiritual experience of my life. I signed up because I was eager to return to the Lord from many years of wandering, however I was expecting a 3 day study of the scriptures which would discuss the various aspects of Christ's life. Instead, I was surrounded by men who shared Christ's love for them and for me. Throughout the weekend, I came to know a closeness to Christ for which I had been searching my whole life. I would strongly encourage anyone, to put this on your calendar now. - Dick Goold 2011 I am so grateful for my experience with Faces of Christ. I was very much in need of experiencing God’s presence in a powerful way. While there I felt safe and among friends for the first time in many years. It allowed me to work through what was in the way of growing my relationship with Christ. The Faces of Christ retreat brought me closer to the one who loves me the most. - Christy Ballard 2012 I was hopeful of great and wonderful things as my retreat weekend approached, but...have you ever been to watch a movie after having a few people tell you how fantastic it is? I don't know about you but I usually leave the theater somewhat disappointed, that movie was built up and my expectations were way too high. Well, to be honest, I was wondering if I would leave Country Lake Retreat Center feeling the same way. No worries there! I was moved. Forever. I caught a glimpse that weekend of the revealed counsel of God - the free life - and I try to stick with it. I learned things about myself I hope to never forget. I fell in love with a wonderful group of ladies. The truth of God's Word coupled with this unique format, has the potential to change you. for. eternity. - Jill Abrams 2012 |
