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.

We had very positive discussions yesterday with the leadership at the impactful Helping Hands Clinic in Lenoir NC which helps uninsured people with medical care. Bethel Colony of Mercy is pressing deeper into our strategic community partnerships as we anticipate our own strong ministry growth. We’re committed to be good neighbors. It’s also an opportunity for us to bring the simple love of God and healing words of Jesus to this hurting world and Caldwell County. Please pray God continues to give us His favor. Also, make sure to let us know your prayer requests. Our students take YOUR heartfelt needs seriously. Ecclesiastes 4:9 NKJV 9 Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.#workingtogether #lovelabor#helpinghands #leastofthese ... See MoreSee Less

Whenever a man or woman come to Bethel Colony of Mercy believing their shattered life is beyond healing we preach the truth NOTHING is impossible with God! Jesus makes a way when there seems to be none. His mercy, grace and freely offered forgiveness are there for anyone who repents. Our students come and go but the message remains the same. JESUS NEVER FAILS! Luke 1:37 NKJV37 “For with God nothing will be impossible.”#ibelieve #jesusanswers #iamsecond #faithfulservice ... See MoreSee Less

Late last night while praying and lifting my heart and eyes to the heavens the moon was beaming a strong light of hope to Bethel Colony of Mercy. l sensed it in my spirit. Night and day God is changing the hearts of men and women ravaged by a broken world and their own choices. No matter how tragically awful circumstances appear WE DON’T GIVE UP! There’s a reason Jesus shared the story of the “99 & 1 sheep” and a mission to save the errant one. His heart is especially for those lost, wounded and wandering souls trapped in the dark thickets and hedgerows of addictions. And we are called to go there on our Father’s rescue missions and wherever it takes us. As the book of Jude says, “some were saved from the fire.” So today we all go to battle again! That’s your ministry too! Be “salt & light” in all the dark and bland places you encounter! Psalm 19:1 (Amplified) The heavens are telling of the glory of God;And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands.#gloriouspraise #heavens #godcreator #beautifulskies ...

Tonight at the men’s campus “The Kinders” are enthusiastically leading our appreciative congregation in NC country style worship. We passionately celebrate Jesus at the Bethel Colony of Mercy. He alone changes hearts and lives. We are so grateful! Expect Him to meet every need you have in life. He sees you! For those who prayed, our Bethel family made it home safely from the longest church trip we’ll make in 2024. Psalm 9:2 NKJVI will be glad and rejoice in You;I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.#praisejesus #godisworthy #jesuslovesme #holypraise ... See MoreSee Less

The everlasting, life-changing, goodness of God is so OVERWHELMING! That’s why on this rainy Sunday morning Bethel Colony of Mercy students and Pastor Pruitt (on crutches) left at 6:15 AM on a ministry road trip. There’s a 3+ hour bus trek ahead with only ONE GOAL after arriving in Dunn, NC. JOYFULLY PROCLAIM THE NAME OF JESUS! He deserves all our praise and a heart of gratitude for rescuing us from our sin, sadness and shame. Keep praying for safety, protection and grace. Our ministry is 24/7 and we count on your prayers and financial support. The world is increasingly dark. Let your light shine today! As Pastor Pruitt said when he departed with his wife in a vehicle following the bus, “If someone gets saved it’s all worth the effort.” Amen. Psalm 119:68 NKJVYou are good, and do good; Teach me Your statutes.#declarejesus #godisworthy #bethelcolony #testifyjesus ... See MoreSee Less
