Celebrating what God did at the
Breakthrough to Healing Workshop
on August 30th!
The attendees came from all over Southern California, including Riverside, San Pedro, Northridge, San Clemente, Escondido, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. Many said they did not know what to expect, but they were full of anticipation for God to start or keep them moving significantly forward in the healing process in their lives.
They were not disappointed! We were so grateful for God’s hovering presence over us. Many people were praying for the overall workshop, and the support of their prayers was felt throughout the day – from the responsive worship, wisdom for the counselors and connection in their groups, to Dr. Sheri Keffer and her speaking.
The response to the day has been beyond expectation for many. Here are their stories….
What the counselors said about the day…
“The event was such an amazing experience for me. The Lord was present and working at the workshop. My group connected with each other fairly quickly, they supported each other, talked about their pain, and planned to stay connected and encouraging to each other as follow up. My job was fairly easy since God was in charge, all I had to do was get out of His way and watch His work unfold in front of me. At the end of the workshop a couple of members of my group asked me how the groups were put together. They could not believe how well everyone in our group fit together. Dr. Sheri is such a dynamic speaker and real as she told her story that it allowed all of us to be real and honest.”
-Counselor Kathleen
“The Breakthrough to Healing Workshop was truly an inspiring and powerful experience. It was an honor to witness The Lord at work and watch as hope was instilled in the eyes of many. Psalm 34:17-18: The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
-Counselor Justin
“Such a privilege to serve with you. God did an amazing work in my own life. He heals completely. I love Him so much.”
-Counselor Kathryn
“Thank you for letting me be a part of this very special event! It was a wonderful day and such an awesome experience. It was very evident how God’s hand was in everything.”
-Counselor Michelle
“I have done a lot of these kinds of workshops, and I consider this one my best yet! Awesome experience watching God at work throughout the day in the lives of those in my group!”
-Counselor Trish
What the attendees said about the day….
“This workshop was a blessing. The Lord met me exactly where I was at. Thank you for bringing out darkness to light and creating a safe place. I would like to see more conferences like this!! Thank you to each counselor for their time, heart and transparency!!”
-Monica
“I’m so thankful for everyone’s willingness to serve the Lord in ministering to others in such a deep way through this workshop.”
-Paige
“Being able to attend the Breakthrough to Healing Workshop this last Saturday was impactful for me after suffering a dramatic loss in my life. Because of my husband’s issues, I have just completed my divorce to him. We lost our home, our business, our 401k, and savings. I’m in a place where I never thought I’d be but through this God has still managed to bless me tremendously. I have drawn closer the Him than I have ever been in my life, and have such a strong faith that He will turn this curse into a blessing. I stay open to learning more of His ways, not my ways. I loved the workshop and thought all the girls in my group made good progress.”
-Debbie
“I am glad I went to the conference. It was a great time to begin the healing process and connect with a lot of beautiful women!”
-Charmaine
“I know that the Lord showed up and there was healing for me and the group. Thank you for making Jesus the center. The Holy Spirit was felt here today.”
-Renay
“I leave here today with hope. My healing will take time, but the Lord will and is there with me in my pain. And I have other sisters in Christ who are in pain as well…to pray for them and to know there is a purpose for my suffering. Thank you! All of you have been a blessing.”
-Candle
“I leave here today a stronger me – having more knowledge about a loving God and a truth that I can hold on to – God is great! As the day went on, I could just feel myself opening up more and more to this experience. This truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you!”
-Cheri
The connection is still going on….
“I am so looking forward to seeing some of the amazing women that were in my group this weekend because our time together did truly change my life! Not only did I leave that weekend with a new perspective, but a seed was planted in me on that day that God is nurturing with his love. My eyes well up when I think of the gifts of that day and thank you for the part you played in putting it together!!!
Thank you for doing what you do and sharing your love and knowledge of God in such a way that so many of us get to know him better.”
-Cheryl
“We have a little email string running between all of the members of the group, so we are keeping in touch as best as we can. Some of us are fasting on Wednesdays to ask God to break the strongholds in our lives, particularly, the negative beliefs that we have about ourselves that keep us stuck in our traumas. God is good! There have been some positive testimonies thus far. God has supernaturally propelled me into ways to get healing that I would have never been able to orchestrate on my own…..”
