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.

The Bethel Colony of Mercy women’s campus is still without any phone or internet service and our storm clean up continues. Everyone is also busily working on preparations for Homecoming 2024 this Sunday on the men’s campus and you’re invited to attend for inspiring preaching, worship and graduate testimonies. For 76 years this transformation ministry has endured many natural and spiritual challenges. BUT GOD REMAINS FAITHFUL! Whatever your circumstances in life know that Jesus cares, the Father hears your cries and you are part of a large and growing family of Christ-followers. We are so grateful for your prayers and support and look forward to a powerful service Sunday morning followed by spectacular food and warm, life-giving encouragement. Don’t forget too that next week, starting Monday October 7th through that Friday, we have our powerful ANNUAL BIBLE CONFERENCE with morning and evening sessions.

A committed volunteer team from the Raleigh NC area showed up last night at Bethel Colony of Mercy with tools, chainsaws and a trailer filled with $7500+ of donated food, water, cleaning supplies, hygiene items and humble, willing hearts. The love, sacrifice and commitment to serve at our storm affected women’s campus today unloading donations and cutting downed trees had the sweet fragrance of the Body of Christ. We are made to follow Jesus in rare community. Today was a sweet picture of how our Savior has called us to live. John 15:13 NKJV13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.#christianwalk #hurricanehelene #bethelcolonyofmercy #grace #helpourbethel #bethelwomen ...

The mood was somber and loving. Collaboration in our local Hurricane Helene response was the focus. We minister in a caring, charitable community and are united in purpose and compassionate engagement. A REMINDER WE DO HAVE HOMECOMING THIS SUNDAY ON THE MEN’S CAMPUS!

The Bethel Colony of Mercy, Homecoming 2024 is a GO! this Sunday morning October 6th on the men’s campus! Our current students are inviting YOU! to come and be blessed by praise, worship, life changing testimonies and the powerful preaching of former student, staff and now pastor, Ronnie Turner. The service will be followed by an amazing lunch and you’ll have the opportunity to catch up with friends—young and old! In the middle of life’s storms, God gives us the opportunity to “reset and reboot” our relationship with Him. Come join hundreds of others and be inspired by the powerful evidence of how Jesus Christ changes lives for His glory! Luke 8:39 NKJV39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.#bethelcolonyofmercy #jesus #transformation #homecoming2024 #witnessjesus #praisenow #alive ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition caused by a stressful or terrifying event — either being part or witnessing it. That’s exactly what is happening (right now) to so many people here in North Carolina in the tragic wake of a terribly destructive, Hurricane Helene. Symptoms often include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the future. Studies reveal substance abuse often increases after natural disasters hit. Addictions may be hidden, but the damage to people and their families is not. As Bethel Colony of Mercy we faithfully minister to men and women in need 365 days a year. Please keep us in your prayers. We’re standing ready to help those here in western North Carolina who may turn to drugs, alcohol and other addictions to deal with their recent, significant losses. God has a rich and willing heart for the brokenhearted. The committed staff on the Bethel men’s and women’s campus do too. PS: Our annual Homecoming 2024 is ON FOR THIS SUNDAY MORNING! Plan to come to the men’s campus for inspired preaching, praise & worship along with testimonies of how Jesus Christ has radically transformed the lives of men and women. You won’t want to miss it! #bethelcolonyofmercy #helpusjesus #traumaisreal #hurricanehelene #brokennomore #transformation ... See MoreSee Less
