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.

Want to know one of the many reasons Bethel Colony of Mercy is more relevant today than at any point in its amazing 76-year history? Since 2000, more than a million people in the United States have died of drug overdoses, the majority of which were due to opioids. 12+ people overdose and die daily in North Carolina and a disastrous spiritual, family, community and economic impact here is only growing. God has simple yet profound answers to the tragic stories of substance abuse. We declare Jesus here to men and women 24/7. It’s a simple mission. Please pray for our students, staff and pastors! Psalm 69:14 NKJVDeliver me out of the mire, And let me not sink; Let me be delivered from those who hate me, And out of the deep waters.#godspeaks #bethelcolony #totalsurrender #newlifejesus #lovewins #weaskgod #transformed ...

There’s not a program, place or person who has some magic formula to mend a broken life and reshape the shattered pottery of a soul into something brand new and beautiful. At Bethel Colony of Mercy our students are ALWAYS brought to Jesus. He alone is the WAY, TRUTH and LIFE! Only a personal encounter with the Living God will resurrect dead marriages, heal modern day lepers, reassemble ruptured relationships and bring hope to the depressed and hopeless. We believe in the power of a redemptive gospel and see miracles in our men and women occurring all around us! ****************************************************PLEASE PRAY for all the activities Saturday in the “2nd Annual Chick-fil-A and Bethel Colony of Mercy Corn Hole Tournament & Family Festival.” We would love for you to come 9:00 AM-12:30 PM at the Smith’s Crossing restaurant in Lenoir. Psalm 18:32 NKJVIt is God who arms me with strength,And makes my way perfect.#godalone #hecalmsall #jesusismypeace #myjesus #deliverance #godspeaks ... See MoreSee Less

When students come to our men’s & women’s campus at Bethel Colony of Mercy they’ll show up with more than some clothes and personal belongings. The biggest suitcases and duffel bags are filled with toxic guilt, shame and lingering regrets. But slowly the guards come down and the effervescent light of God’s love peers deep into the dusty caverns of a weary soul and broken heart. Lives buried under landslides of hopeless longing are uncovered from the rubble and breathe in rarified air and the aromas of forgiveness. The most amazing and improbable transformations begin to take place on our campuses when men and women totally surrender their will to Jesus. Soon, even the hardest hearts see what an AMAZING and EXCITING adventure a life in Christ can be! Drugs, alcohol, sexual addictions and every dark bondage from the Evil One begin to evaporate under the healing graces of our loving Heavenly Father. Joy starts to flow like a clear mountain stream filled with the wondrous supply only Jesus supplies. Our transforming journey of faith and trusting obedience is worth every single step and one glorious day we’ll sing with all the saints of God, a forever hallelujah! Believe it! 1st Corinthians 2:9 NKJV“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”#transformation #bethelnow #changemyheart #salvation #mysolidfoundation #jesus ...
