Below are actual, unsolicited comments and testimonies sent to Metanoia Ministries by leaders and members of churches we have served:
“I am in the midst of reading and digesting your report. It is overwhelming. We see ourselves in it as you said we would. It is difficult yet true, sad yet hopeful. I appreciate all the scripture references for our instruction. We are studying them. You are obviously using your gifts for the good of the Body.”
“I just wanted to say thanks for writing Making Peace. It has been an incredible learning experience for me—both humbling and educational. Thanks for making it so practical, also. I have a hard time putting knowledge to work unless someone can tell me how to use it, and you have certainly done that through this book. I am only 25 and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn this information so young, that I may apply it to my life and spend my time making peace (instead of avoiding it!). Thanks again.”
“ I have both led and attended many seminars in my professional career and in my life as a Christian. The Making Peace Seminar is the best seminar I have ever attended."
“I want to thank you and your team for pouring yourselves out for us this past week. You hit the nail right on the head. Your presentation this afternoon was careful, thoughtful and thorough, and I think will prove to be right on the money. My hope is that we can get through the pain and listen to what the Spirit says about your recommendations.”
“Our Solemn Assembly was probably the most amazing movement of God that I, personally, have ever seen. Leaders came last night and in complete brokenness confessed their part in contributing to the divisiveness we had suffered, and then received the full forgiveness of the congregation. I can’t thank you enough for the guidance your materials have provided for us. God bless you in your work. You were instrumental in the revival of yet one more church.”
“As a member, I was at your meeting yesterday and felt compelled to send you a short note of response. Although I (and others) are at the beginning stages of contemplating your findings in prayer, I wanted to contact you to extend my thanks for a most difficult task you and your staff undertook on our behalf. You and your staff handled yourselves with honor and grace in a less than welcome environment and, regardless of our decisions to come, have facilitated our return and advancement in the name of our Lord.”
“May I add my personal thanks to you and the other members of the team for the absolutely outstanding job done by Metanoia. You displayed true Christian love, courage and sensitivity, and I feel you were Spirit-led and prayerful every step of the way. The verbal presentation of the findings on Sunday was excellent and lovingly undertaken. I am deeply grateful for your Christian love and service.”
"After taking the journey into the desert and learning how to trust God for guidance and daily sustenance, and then discovering just how good and gracious our Lord is, it is sad to recall the number of times I have not trusted God and tried to manage “my way.” Yes, God has done an amazing work of transformation in my life and in the lives of many at our church."
“Just wanted to let you know that I am grateful for your service to our church. Had we been given the opportunity to vote whether or not to have you here, I would have voted no. After Sunday, and having gone through the process, I became aware that we really needed you. As I sat listening to your report, I realized you were right-on in many ways. As a former elder, I saw myself guilty of what you talked about. So, thank you. There is some pain to come, but you have helped us see the direction we need to go and we appreciate it.”
“Last evenings service was a powerful time of fellowship in God’s presence, and it was crystal clear that your ministry has laid a strong foundation for the Lord’s future work there. Hallelujah!”
