TESTIMONIALS

I have personally seen the Lord use Bethel Colony of Mercy in a mighty way in the lives of so many, including myself.  As a former graduate, and now a pastor and Celebrate Recovery Ministry Leader, Bethel Colony has been a tremendous asset to our church over the past 15 years.  Sometimes a person needs more than just a Sunday morning message and a weeknight meeting.  Bethel Colony is a safe, Christ-centered ministry that I recommend to anyone needing a spiritual transformation.

I can’t begin to express my gratitude for Bethel Colony of Mercy, as a Recovery Pastor, as a Dad and being in recovery for over 20 years myself it’s truly a blessing to see the life-changing impact that their program has on men and women bound by the chains of addiction. We have sent many to Bethel who have come out and used what they’ve learned to disciple others in their church and our Celebrate Recovery Program. 
My own daughter was a raging alcoholic, living a life of sin and chaos…. But God! Something beautiful happened to her up on that mountain and she is forever changed and has become the woman of God He intended her to be. She’s now helping other women in their journey.
If you or someone you love is struggling and looking for freedom, it can be found in Christ Jesus at Bethel Colony of Mercy.

Going to Bethel changed my life in so many ways. They helped me understand the Bible and God’s word. Between the classes and personal counseling, I developed a relationship with God and he has rescued me. I developed lifetime friendships and they are always there for me. This is the only place I went for help, and it was the only place I needed. Thank you Bethel Colony.

T.J. graduated in January, ’22.  The chains of addiction have been broken, being at Bethel has truly changed her life around.  She is working, she volunteers helping autistic children with horse therapy, she continues to stay in the Word, she goes to church with her family, she stays in contact with friends she made at Bethel daily and they all hold each other accountable.

Bethel equipped me with spiritual tools to know how to be successful in life. This place has lit the spiritual fire in my soul again.  I learned who I was in Christ; more than a conqueror!

The ministers are truly concerned with every student’s success.  Preachers and counselors have been in shoes that were once not walking with Christ but now are.  You cannot break the bonds of addiction without Jesus Christ.
