Testimonials

The BE STILL retreat was the biggest investment of my life! It felt like I was in God’s holy “bubble” and He blessed me beyond expectation. Everything was extremely well organised and the facilitators were like angels without wings. Nothing was about them, but it was all about God’s will, being obedient and being there to serve. The highlight for me was to start each day being still in His presence in the chapel and being baptised for the second time. I wish I could bless every person I know with a BE STILL retreat.

“Be Still” was a life-changing moment in my life. The Lord’s presence was tangible and His voice so real during the entire time. He spoke constantly and deeply into my soul and spirit. I left there feeling completely loved by Him and drenched in His presence, leaving me wanting more and more of Him.

BeStill was a live-changing experience to me. It came at exactly the right time in my life and I was ‘bowled-over’ in more than one way: God’s grace, the way the experience is presented, the heart and depth and professionalism of facilitators as well as the ‘weight’ of the content. Something everyone should choose to do at least once in their life time. A deeply personal appointment with God in a safe, caring and well structured divine environment.

Be still is a place where you will find God without a shadow of a doubt. Your life will never be the same again, trust me. You will be restored if you are prepared to knock and seek and humble yourself before our creator.

Be still is a God driven program filled with people who is walking in Spirit with God.

Be Still is a platform of brokenness to restoration. God is always where the broken hearted is. Psalms 34:18

Be still is an absolute must for any believer or unbeliever. If you believe, you will leave with a cup flowing over from the Holy Spirit. If you don’t believe you will surely leave knowing there is a God who loves you unconditionally.

My journey at Be still feels like yesterday. Every time I speak about it, I cry. I cry because I cannot comprehend why God could love me this much. How can He love someone who had a heart of stone? Why did He pick me up when I was at my lowest? Why would He cover me with His love after I completely rebelled against Him and worshiped the world? Why would He have an interest in an alcoholic and racist? Why would He show compassion to a man with a tongue that is dirtier than a ragged cloth? Why would God restore a marriage when there was nothing?

Attending the Be Still retreat in the Karoo was a life-changing experience for me. During the retreat, I had a profound and unequivocal encounters with God that touched the depths of my entire being and soul.

As I sat in the quiet and stillness, I felt the presence of God surround me, filling me with a sense of peace and love that I had never experienced before. It was as if the noise and chaos of the world faded away, and I was able to hear God’s voice for the first time speaking directly to me.

Through the well planned out programme and knowledgeable facilitators of the Be still retreat together with prayer, meditation, and reflection, I was able to connect with God in a deep and meaningful way. I felt renewed, refreshed, and transformed by the power of God’s interactions with me.

The Be Still retreat in the Karoo was a reminder to me of the importance of taking time to slow down, be still, and listen to God’s voice. I am grateful for this experience and the ways in which it has strengthened my faith and brought me closer to God.

Thank you and blessings to you and your families for a wonderful weekend at the Be Still. I’ve always been a child of God, but I can honestly say that I have never heard the voice of God so clearly as I did the weekend of the Be still. Below is an extraction of my journal from the Sunday morning at be still which acts as my testimony.

This morning I woke with a new view on life and with energy as never felt before.

For the first time in many months my mind is clear and the cloudiness has disappeared.

I know exactly my purpose in life and the journey I need to walk to fulfil this purpose.

I am ready to be a warrior for God and have confidence and trust in Him.

My troubles now seem so small.

I am aware that many challenges lay before me but I am ready for the adventure.

I know God will be with me every step of the way and he will open the path for me. 

God opened my heart and I know where my troubles lie

I am confident to tackle these one by one with the grace of God and slowly fulfil my purpose in life

Never in my life have I cried with so many tears, but it wasn’t tears of pain, it was tears of joy, relief and fulfilment

Pride, jealousy, hate, lust and the voices of doubt and self-prosecution is something of the past

Instead it is replaced with joy, freedom, love and worship

I am ready to establish my kingdom in God’s name in my home, workplace and society.

I am ready to be a sage for God with his guidance

I pledge that first fruits for Jesus will be a natural part of my life

And most of all, I pledge to enjoy the adventure of my journey on earth and through my joy in life to give joy to God and his children.

At the Be Still retreat the Lord had the opportunity to let me know what was on His heart for me.

Why there?

Well, I think He wanted to tell me for some time. At Be Still, He was able to switch off every distraction around me. He had my full attention…. enabling me to hear Him.

Be Still is like a doctor handing you a spiritual stethoscope and saying, “Put it against your Father’s chest and listen to His heart”.

…. and it is such a beautiful sound!
