Dear Agape International,
We want to express
our gratitude for the life and ministry of Alfred Davis and
his wife Martha during their recent visit to our country.
We appreciate your support which made this visit possible.
The event in which
our brother Alfred participated as speaker was for Pastors,
lay counsellors, and Christian Psychologists. This seminar
was part of a ministry called, "Free Servants" that
our church is initiating. The objective of this ministry is
to train and minister healing to leaders.
We had participants
from several Colombian cities, and representation of different
evangelical denominations. Although, it was the first time
for an event of this kind in our country, it touched a key
and needy issue for Colombians. The psychologists and Christian
professionals of the human sciences especially were encouraged
to practice what they learned as they see the relationship
it has with their faith. All the participants were motivated,
and encouraged us to continue with this type of event, recognising
the immense need that exists in the national leadership.
We would like
to point out some of the comments from the written evaluation.
Regarding the
most important things they learned:
- God, the Holy Spirit, can
be the main agent in counselling and direct the process.
- The best way of working,
in counselling, is not the one that I do and know.
- To know the areas of my
life in which it is necessary to invite Jesus to enter,
so that He brings complete healing.
- Not to believe the lies
of Satan.
- My freedom will help others.
- The love and grace of God.
- In all processes of healing
or counselling it is very important that the client appropriates
the truth.
Regarding the
positive aspects of the event:
- Excellent speakers of quality
and experience.
- They taught with truth,
grace, and humility, and showed an open way to confront
the church.
- They were spiritual and
sensitive.
- They spoke with clarity
and spiritual authority.
- Humility and commitment.
- The topics were appropriate
for leaders and pastors.
- The unity of the different
denominations, through the Holy Spirit.
- The transcendence of this
ministry.
- It opened the road for God
to work in Colombia in this aspect. God's people are getting
ready to face the devil's warfare.
- A new method to help others
to be free.
Other valuable
comments were:
- Congratulations on motivating
the training of leaders and Christian professionals. May
God keep using you to train and form leaders. God is using
you greatly to bless the leadership, the church, and Colombia
in General. 1 Cor. 15:58. Thank you for this sowing in Colombia
and for this great opportunity (for the church of Colombia
and for many consultants beginning their ministry) to help
more people.
- I returned with a broader
vision and with a new touch from the Lord on my heart.
- Thank you for expanding
the Kingdom of God without discrimination between churches
or denominations.
- It was spiritual refreshment
for our ministry.
- It has been the best conference
I have ever attended.
- You are showing with this
event an example of unity, which is part of what the church
needs.
- A wonderful topic that has
to do with the call that Christ makes in our hearts. He
is leading us to a deeper commitment in what we do.
- It was confirmation for
many of us and really helped out with many doubts I had.
I better understand the power of God's
Word.
We would be very
happy to have them back in the near future for another week
of training. Thank you again for your participation in the
ministry.
May God bless you,
Felipe Webb
