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.

Awesome teaching, great balance of teaching, structure, and discipline.  The application of Biblical teaching to real life – character, marriage, fatherhood, etc…Only place I’ve ever been with any substance to the teachings.

This morning before 6AM l was in the busy Bethel Colony of Mercy IT room gathering items for the day when my eyes caught a screen filled with computer code. l heard a voice inside say, “That’s what the world has made the GOOD NEWS of My GOSPEL!” Complicated. Bulky. Confused. Intimidating. Burdensome. Unintelligible. Out of reach! At Bethel we preach, teach and live a different, simple path here on a “hill of harvests” and women’s campus which is a “valley of victories.” Jesus came to redeem a very lost and broken world and invites EVERYONE who is weary to meet Him at the front door of their heart. He’s waiting to give you a warm, loving and forgiving embrace. No sin nor sadness is too great! He will repair every broken place if you let Him in. The rest we crave for our soul will come with full surrender and a commitment to follow a Savior who knows every tear and our thousand late night confessions wondering if pain, shame and guilt might ever go away and peace instead remain. You must trust in faith to make the first step! Don’t wait! If you’re in the area and want to join the Bethel family for inspiring worship and testimonies from our students join us Sunday morning. Arrive at about 10:45 AM to be seated. Buffalo Cove Baptist Church 6356 Buffalo Cove RoadLenoir, NC 28645Luke 19:10 NKJV10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” ...

The weather is beautiful and has been changing. Today, fertile garden plots were being carefully cultivated at the Bethel Colony of Mercy women’s campus. Just as hard ground is aggressively broken up for seeds, sun, fertilizer and watering, Jesus is daily changing the steely hearts of men and women who are finally turning to Him for their ultimate deliverance from bondages and addictions. The costs have been high with peace long forgotten. Hope is kindled through teaching, preaching, encouragement and prayer. Pray about making a financial contribution to help us purchase grass seed, fencing, vegetable seeds and tools along with gas & oil for machines. EVERY LITTLE BIT helps this ministry so much! Isaiah 61:11 NKJV For as the earth brings forth its bud,As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.#godmadegardens #beauty #jesuswaters #fruitfulgardens ...

MINISTRY ALERT:**********************Lives changing! Souls saved! Healings are now happening! Miraculous personal breakthroughs tonight as we had church at Bethel Colony of Ministry. The Holy Spirit was moving very strong. We are grateful for God’s promise to hear the cries of His children. So humbling.
