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.

Today, from all of us at Bethel Colony of Mercy’s men’s and women’s campuses, we want to honor the mothers who never gave up on us.To the moms who cried behind closed doors… who spent sleepless nights wondering if the phone would ring… who prayed when we were too lost to pray for ourselves… thank you.Many of us walked down dark roads of addiction, brokenness, and hopelessness. Yet through it all, you stood in the gap and called out to God on our behalf, asking Him to rescue us from the pit and bring us into His marvelous light. Your prayers mattered more than you may ever know.When we finally came to the end of ourselves and realized we needed help, you were there with open arms, ready to help us get to Bethel Colony and toward the healing and freedom found through Jesus Christ. Through His blood, His sacrifice, and His saving grace, we have been given hope for a future.Thank you for loving us when we were hard to love.Thank you for believing there was still something worth saving in us.Thank you for never stopping your prayers.We love you dearly.Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there from the Bethel Colony family. ❤️ ...

What a blessing our time was at Calvary Baptist Church GastoniaThis past week. For many years, this church has faithfully supported the mission of Bethel Colony of Mercy and the work God is doing in the lives of men and women seeking freedom from addiction. Once again, they outdid themselves with an incredible meal and a spread that filled every plate—and then some!More than the food, we were deeply touched by the love shown to our students. The altar was filled as members of the congregation gathered around, praying over our guys and girls. It was a powerful reminder that they are not alone on this journey. Calvary Baptist truly demonstrated the heart of Christ through their compassion, encouragement, and unwavering support.We are so grateful for their continued investment in changed lives, restored hearts, and new futures through Jesus Christ. Thank you for loving our students so well and standing with us in this mission.But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 NKJV ... See MoreSee Less
