I applied the method of clarity and transparency with my team even to the smallest details because I was only sharing headlines. It made them carry the out work with me as if we have become leaders of this team. Everyone is striving to make our ministry successful. I thank the Lord first and then thank you for all the applicable teaching.

You made my day when you met us through zoom. I was so tired and burned out during the quarantine. I was the only one who has permission in our town in Tunisia to move with my car to distribute food to the families in the lockdown. I needed a word of encouragement and affirmation, and you brought that during this meeting. Thank you, AWT

I am passing through a very critical situation in my family and business. I brought back all the teaching about pain and hope from our last network conference with AWT. Showers of comfort and relief came to my heart and I overcame all the bad feelings. I was trying to find the light in this critical situation and I did.

When you asked me to share through a short video about my experience during the quarantine, I felt out of my comfort zone, but when I saw the result of my message through this video on your social media platforms, I felt so encouraged and proud to testify about my Lord and his amazing Job in my life.

Whenever I feel that I need a spiritual push and encouragement, you are there for me at the right time. What you shared during our zoom meeting from the Bible about Joseph and the years of suffering and waiting for the lord talked to my need at this time. I have been in this situation and was about to give up, nevertheless, this massage brought hope back to my heart.

I felt that I belong to a lovely family. AWT did an amazing job when they showed the care and love during the past years but in specific during Corona time. The online meeting lifted our spirit high and reminded us of the big family of Christ.

I entered a more profound level in my relationship with God through the spiritual formation disciplines that worked in my life. I began to feel with others, relate better to them, and not to judge them. I am now calmer, and I listen more. My participation in the conference refined my personality, spurted my strengths, and pointed out my weaknesses to work on them for my good. I was refreshed from the inside and heard the Lord's voice, who, with one word from him, restored my soul. I am grateful that I acquired knowledge and witnessed radical change through the testimony of others.

Having realized my identity in Christ, brought influence that is more significant to my ministry, church, and family. I am now leading with a unique double portion of the anointing! I learned how to be transparent and genuine with people, which gave me credibility and easier access. I recognized my position, and I no longer care about others' opinions; I serve wholeheartedly and do not seek the assessment of people. I began to hear that alarm sounding when my flesh demands a time of solitude to assess my motives for ministry. Because I want to serve better, I have to take good care of myself and allow the hands of God to mold me. My end goal is my relationship with the Lord, not my services.

I shared with tens of people and women groups over the last three years. I witnessed a change in attitudes and behaviors, and I feel proud to see them promote to higher spiritual levels in life. This year, I saw a difference in the lives of four women who are walking with the Lord and equipped for ministry.

I feel the Lord has filled my inner being and took me on an in-depth journey with him. Through the journey, I received healing and met my real self. I got rid of the influence of the past and became a new person filled with his spirit. I practiced the joy of discipline. Every day I spend in the Lord’s presence produces maturity and impacts the lives of people. My influence grew stronger, and my words become anointed and working change. The Lord started to use me to spread the word and helped me identify my calling. He began to train me and form me within a short period. I glorify the Lord for his excellent work in my life and for his spirit who leads me. I grew spiritually, and I have influence now and enjoy prosperity in all aspects of my life; because my eyes turned to the core “Jesus” the cornerstone. Therefore, my awareness and comprehension deepened. I realized that when a person matures and experiences real freedom and celebrates his true identity, his qualities change and show clearly.

Through your last training, I met my spiritual mother, who walked the road with me and left an evident impact on my life. I joined a discipleship group, where we study the Bible together. And in which I am integrating some of the topics I learned into the lessons.

Your ministry had been a reason for blessing and change in my life. You made me love serving other women. You motivated me to study laws related to women and focus on reading books related to women ministry. It brought out the zeal and launched me to serve in prisons in Lebanon. Your conferences helped me grow 80% in character bringing holistic change. I started to serve in the remote villages to encourage them and help them realize their value in the eyes of God and how much they are loved. I vowed to give time, as much as I have energy, to every woman I meet daily. To speak to her about her problems and pray with her and help her.

You brought positive change through your support and encouragement. You made me realize how important I am. I have shared lots of topics with hundreds of refugees, and consequently, equipped seventeen people. Not to mention the benefit of the women's ministry at my church as a result of what I learned.

During the last period, some spiritual aspects deepened inside me and made me feel closer to God and his mind. I experienced forgiveness & acceptance of others. I learned the simplicity of discipline and how to pray more comfortably. My self-awareness increased; I understood my role as a woman at the house, work, society, and church. And I realized that my heart attitude is the most important. I became more confident and changed some concepts. I had a chance to share testimonies with higher power and to encourage others. I gained healing in more than one aspect of my life. I feel equipped to serve and to share my experiences. I developed a more comprehensive & more lucid mindset towards society and its main issues. I shared my knowledge and skills with the young women I serve; I motivated them to do specific works and change certain behaviors through the change they witnessed in my character. I shared some of the topics I learned in the conference and suggested others to benefit the youth and especially women in my church.

The teaching is an eye-opening insight into new depths. It made a difference in my life and attitudes. I have applied lots of points in my house. I took some time of solitude and re-energized. Every Awt conference I attend is a push forward, a nutritious meal, and a priceless resource on which I depend. My mindset changed in some areas which positively impacted my behavior, reactions, and relationships with people. Women I serve have always been excited to receive the new material I get. I have always felt the influence of the word and experience I share with them through their private conversations.

My knowledge increased, and vision enlightened my mind. From low self-esteem, hope, and aspirations fill me now. I am more confident with a positive approach, filtering negative messages, and receiving positive ones. My relationship with the Lord is stronger; I realized how important I am; I grew in favor with God and people. I have influenced my surroundings; in the family, home church, relatives, and work. I am calmer and wiser in making decisions and I am now mentoring young women.

I learned how to renew my mind and accept the will of God for my life. I learned how to pray “behind the scenes.” I increased monitoring myself. I practiced solitude; in this era of speed, we need quiet time; it enriches my existence my quality time with others. I, socially and psychologically, influenced many groups of children, teenagers, and women through my work with “Yes for Children Institute” and collaborating with SOS programs with which I’m sharing your material in the various conferences.

Through your teaching, I gained knowledge in spiritual topics. I am now equipped to serve better; you taught me how to detox whatever is negative in mindset and life. I learned that I should fulfill God’s good work and obey it and be faithful. As a social worker, I have shared some of your topics for mindset renewal and self-development within my circle of influence.

I grew in my aspects, especially in spirit and personality. The conference helped me initiate to make decisions that I put on hold in my life, forming a hindrance. I moved to another ministry and had a changed perspective as a result of the experiences I gained.

Your lectures helped me develop myself, and I became more equipped, and I still seek more advancement to serve my country.

A fruitful meeting on both the intellectual and personal levels through which we were able to discover the importance of spiritual growth and how to deal with its diseases realistically and openly. I can’t deny the impact of this training on my life.

I have learned a lot from you. Failure has become a turning point in my life to develop my skills and spiritual growth. I thank you for that I felt I belong to a family. It’s is a true testimony I will always remember in my life.

It was a great meeting. I was confused before with unforgiveness because of a relational conflict I had, but now I left in peace.

I began to give myself a time to celebrate or value myself, and sometimes even when there is no reason to celebrate. I’m giving myself a break to walk or simply do nothing. In all conditions, we have the choice to determine our attitude towards ourselves and others; whether by surrendering to weakness or asking the help of the Lord to sustain the weakness within and give us the strength to rise up. I started to see hardships as a chance for the Lord to work more in me through my weakness. I started to look for life situations to reveal my true self and help me face my fear.

I will be determinant to change my life and allow my Lord to lead it. I will be obedient in my life with love and modesty.

I learned from Ruth and Leah how God can fill my needs and give me victory as he did with them even when the basic needs were not met for them. I will gain victory over my health conditions and overcome all negative thoughts instilled in my life.

I will give all my feelings to the Lord. He looks at hardship and suffering and compensates with good.

I heard a lot about forgiveness, but this is the first time I feel myself speaking out on myself and my life.

I learned that fulfillment doesn’t come from people but from God alone. I will read the word and communicate with the Lord. I will work on deepening my relationship with God; because he is the source of peace and unconditional love.

I will forgive to be set free and experience peace with the help of the Holy Spirit. I will assist others to forgive.

I will take refuge in God and be in a continuous relationship with God the Father. I believe I am loved in Christ and He fulfills my needs. Yes. I will not beg for love and care; because my God will fill up my needs according to His riches in glory. I have to forgive as Christ forgave me and it’s for my own good.

I feel exhausted but when I saw the Biblical examples of Leah and Ruth I felt hope. God can intervene and solve any tough condition. I have to be a hero of faith. I want to understand the Bible in the right way. I have dug into many aspects of the Bible which helped me. I will live forgiveness because it restores joy to my heart. Forgiveness makes my eyes shine and puts love in my heart. It encourages me and leaves me with no burden to carry.

I liked the session a lot. God can intervene despite all the pain. I will enjoy the growth in the presence of God the Father so that I can improve myself and give something to my daughter and family.

I will always ask the Holy Spirit to overflow and fill my spirit with forgiveness and love.

This group is an answer to my prayer; I asked for a comfortable group that can build and enable me to study and share in an atmosphere of acceptance. Thus it made a difference in my life and satiated my hunger.

I heard a lot about forgiveness, but this is the first time I feel myself speaking out about myself and my life.

I want to go back and read the stories of the Bible in a different way.

You have spoken directly to us and touched the core of our hearts and needs. You spoke to us in parables like Jesus.

I have enjoyed the scripture you shared about God’s touch. I couldn’t miss one single word! I couldn’t close my eyes or shut my ears; the message was speaking to me!

I have explored God’s attributes through Bible readings. I recognized the different psychological conditions and personalities of people, and even myself. The matter which can help me develop my communication with the situations around me. I will share the hymns I learned and the rich material I received.

I explored the Bible Discovery method. My understanding of some points grew deeper.

I didn’t have the skill of exploring the Bible! It’s a new thing for me.

I benefitted from the ideas and presentation method. I will work on being able to express myself.

I recognized the importance of prayer and I have a new insight into the Bible. I learned how to dig in it and find answers to some topics, like depression, that I have never thought I can find answers for in the scripture. I commit myself to reading the Bible to completion with a new insight and adopting a new approach to studying it.

I have learned the skill of adjusting a schedule to be flexible with the required change. I will better manage my time for my own fulfillment and in order to meet the needs of others. I will set a weekly time to spend with my mentor, and will in my turn follow up the lives of the girls I disciple; spiritually and psychologically.

The sessions drove me closer to God. I had lots of questions relating to so many psychological issues such as anxiety and depression, and they were made clear to me.

I was far. My relationship with God is under the light now! I learned how to be closer to God and discover Him through reading the Bible. My eyes can see solutions in the Word now. I liked the Bible discovery method a lot; it is new to us: it exposes more truth. It helps us know God and ourselves more; I was surprised by some facts I discovered in me and through the study interaction that took place. I will start to apply the knowledge in my household, with my kids and the servants around me.

I will overcome the trauma that I have in my life. I now know that God is sovereign and has my case and He will take His stand in His perfect timing.

I will pay attention to my words when conversing with people.

I recognized that I need to obey God’s voice for salvation and to keep on hearing His voice.

I loved how we took hold of every letter and comma in the scripture. Every written word had a meaning that opened my eyes and heart. It’s thrilling how I can refer to the word and discover more and more depth every time.

I will be persistent in prayer during the challenging time.

I discovered that I was strong during the war. I was able to find something positive, not counting the challenge as loss but as a driving power and will to stand. However, I learned that despite my strong character, I still have to consider the potentials & emotions of others. To understand that they are different and their conditions are different, and to support rather than judge. I mean I gained a new vision for dealing with people.

I learned that crises as a result of war are part of life’s challenges. The teaching annoyed my present, but never mind, as long as it will pave the way for a better future for me!

I never thought that the Bible can be a practical reference containing such details. I have gained trust and comfort through referring to the Bible.

I learned how to deal with myself. I learned that I can still help when I need help the most. I learned how to deal with those around me, especially those who suffer from the consequences of war.

I was able to identify where I was standing in my relationship with God and where I should be. I liked the Discovery Bible Study. I was looking for a way to bring me closer to the Bible, and I was able to find it through you.

Through the hardship, God uses people and His voice to speak to us and open our eyes. I learned to forgive. I experienced a genuine group spirit and how to be determined in my decisions. I discovered that I can study the Bible and understand it by myself, at least to grab the thread.

I will not lose hope on someone coming back to Christ. I will let my attitudes to witness to him if he refuses to listen. I learned not to ask a person to be strong when he needs at that particular moment to be express that he was vulnerable and weak.

Through the discovery Bible study, I learned how to hold the tip of the thread. I will apply exploring the Bible with the youth I serve with. I thank you with all my heart because you have changed my life with your love, care and smile. I love you.

I believe God is able to break the shackles and help me overcome the difficulties. I pray for more practical trust in Him.

I will practise reading the scripture regularly, take a promise and remind myself of the promises.

I have a changed attitude toward people with problems: how to deal with them, help them, and accept them despite their differences. I will try to understand people and give them chances for better communication, especially with those who express frustration.

I am happy that my complaint before God has changed!

I will share the new ideas and methods that I learned with my family and friends.

I heard an answer to my dilemma from God. I will wait upon the Lord with trust. I will be patient even when it looks midnight and taking too long; I will wait for God’s perfect timing.

I have learned a new, brilliant and practical method to read the Bible. It helped me discover the attributes of God and man, and make a declaration of obedience.

The session about “Seasons with God” made me pause to think in which season I am with God now. I am aware now that I have to firm, patient and wait for the season to finish.

You have put me on the road to a new beginning. The teaching moved me to a new spiritual level.

I am weak without the Lord. I need to cling to Him. With Him, I can say: I can! He accepts me as I am. I will come to Him despite the voice that tells me otherwise.

I am currently passing through anxiety about the future. So the addressed topic in this regard came on time; it will help me in my attempt to avoid it.

I recognized that I have a problem with anger and that I have to confess it and be humble. My eyes opened on details I wasn’t before able to fathom. And I took a decision to work on it by calming down and being long-suffering.

I used to underestimate the value of the scripture, but now I took a decision to read the Bible differently and with a new perspective. I want to finish it verse by verse.

I felt I made an appointment with God. I started to talk with Him. I spent some unpreceded quality time with God. That was so precious!

I believe in the miraculous divine intervention and power of God. And that through prayer He can shake the place.

The teaching helped me recognize the stages of trauma I passed through and for how long I stayed in every one of them. I was happy to learn that as a believer I can still have space and time to be healed as a human being. I don’t always have to jump. God gave me peace. I learned that people are different in the way they face problems. I learned that I am unique and distinguished in the nature of my character and how I face problems. I am happy that I was able to express myself and talk about deep issues with one of your ministry team.

I will train myself not to focus on my wounds. I will be persistent in prayer and worship in the time of hardship until I see the dawn.

Even if I turn my back on God, He won’t leave me.

The teaching encouraged me to improve the way I treat others. Through the trauma teaching, I was able to diagnose the traumatic condition of a person in my life. I became aware of the seriousness of it. And I want, therefore, to be available to support him and contribute to his healing.

I felt freedom to express my true self to God. I benefitted from the teaching about forgiveness.

The Lord revealed to me that He wants to be the leader of my life, according to His will. He wants a father-daughter relationship between me and Him.

I will obey, and not only listen, when I hear the Lord’s voice. Expressing my inside to God through writing helped me!

Rich material that answered a lot of the questions occurring in my mind. I will change my primitive method of studying the Bible. And I will support others by sharing the psychological and relational topics I learned.

I learned this powerful statement: To love others till the end; to the point of washing their feet. God gives heed to “why” not “what”. Every word in the conference influenced me and made a difference, and I felt it was personal to me.

I came to the conference with lots of questions. Truly, I was given an answer to almost every question I had in mind.

The lecturer mentioned something that rang in my ear: to have faith even when the eye can’t see but darkness. I came with lots of darkness around me that was making me feel surprised and shocked. But I was encouraged to keep my faith and trust in God, pressing on toward the goal that I want to pursue for the glory of God.

I used to think that ministry means full-time, complete-effort and continuous learning, but now I learned that it is a full-time heart.

I will be alert to distinguish Satan’s attacks. I know that God can use me mightily as I draw near to him and His word. I learned how to appropriately deal with the different types of characters without hurting feelings, and also how to work humbly in a team.

Over the years, I have boasted about belonging to AWT family. And a lot has changed in my life and character. Those who are close to me testify, and especially my husband who continuously encourages me. I have almost collapsed because of my heart that was not able to say no and overpressured with what people say, until I shared my heart with you and recognized that it has been an attack from Satan against my life, trying to hinder my ministry.

I have been trained on how to prepare my own training strategy, and gained other skills to support me in my ministry with women.

I have grown spiritually. I have a renewed mind. I forgave completely, and I started to lead through the Bible. My character changed and I began to better discern other characters. I have improved in dealing with challenges, and I am being less dependent in relationships; I am leading better at home and my serving methods changed.

AWT has brought zeal to my life to turn the learned knowledge into life experience. Things changed in my personal and spiritual life. My mindset changed. I began to take practical steps, set goals and plan for change. I have set my mind to adopt the change I want to see happen in my life, and to be a source of influence and encouragement to others.

My prayer life has improved. I know my value in Christ and I trust Him to surpass all challenges and failures, as a result of this I am able to pursue success in my life and ministry. I have been facing obstacles, challenges and frustrations leading the women meeting at my place. I was about to surrender but the positive impact on the women I serve kept me going. AWT gave me a great motive to proceed, and whenever I failed, I used to remember the promises of my value in Christ, in addition to having learned how to manage change in my life. I was able to set goals for my life and have started implementing them.

I learned that I need myself to grow to help others whom I serve to grow. It will enable me to serve with love and be influential, equipping servants after God’s heart.

AWT helped me to change and thus influenced my circle of influence. I am more transparent with myself and the Lord. My character is changing; I have more love to reach out to others. I have found some tangible change in me. I am helping others to have their minds renewed and get out of the box trapping them in the old thinking patterns.

AWT affected my personality in all aspects of my life; spiritual, social, family, educational, business and practical life. During the 10 years of being followed-up by AWT: I have become a mature, confident, literate and educated person. My conduct has radically changed. I started a transparent and faithful life with God. I am more compassionate toward people; forgiveness and love became my weapon. I became capable of teaching others. On the personal level, my life has also changed; I adopted some healthy habits, such as: reading and exercise.

Whenever I needed your support, you were there for me. I can positively say that what I am today and the reason behind being a successful Arab woman is because of you and your trainings. You have worked on building my character and my self-esteem. I am richer in spirit, soul and body and thus pouring into others. Your annual conference is rich in nature; it is like harvesting and collecting supplies for the whole year. I will go then to my community and feed them the fat as appropriate to their needs. It is not only me that has been influenced, but I have also influenced others in my church ministry: adults, youth and children. As a result of the material that built me and that I shared; our home meetings started to grow in number to a point where we had to start a family meeting at the church, especially for such topics from AWT.

I have a greater level of faith because of meeting other women in the conferences, and seeing how they are taking steps in their lives to serve Jesus. I am challenging myself and pushing my limits to help others in need. The conferences were helpful in terms of understanding myself and my potentials. Now, I started to appreciate myself more; I can love myself and see me influential. I have set out on the journey of change in my life, and would love to create it in other people’s lives.

You have given me strength and persistence. You taught me how to refuse timidity and weakness.

I am more confident in myself and have built new friendships from other nations and tongues. I used not to mingle but with my own ethnic group, but now I serve in a ministry where I am the only Armenian.

AWT has influenced my life and brought radical change in concepts, principles and behaviors. I have explored my identity, overcome failure and now I am pursing change. What I learned has brought about a revolution in my life that I can’t help but share with others. You have believed in us; Arab women. I have been personally encouraged by your love and hospitality.

I was able to take decisions in my life of ministry and was writing them down while listening. I had a clear message from the lord: when it comes to the past, I need to stop grabbing things from my old mailbox and even replying to those mails. I have a new address now; it is vision.

You have provoked me to get out of my comfort zone. I have taken a serious decision and left my work in order to fulfill my God-given dream to change the community through changing syllabuses.

Thank you AWT for helping me think and discern my motives! I believe if I should grab any chance to make my life better; mentally, physically and spiritually, I will see the difference in people's life through influence and thus inspiriting others to live the same life.

AWT: You are such an organized ministry. You’re constantly instilling self-confidence and love in us to seek a better life. My life changed and my character is now refined because of your work in my life. I have a higher self-esteem and I am influencing those around me. I have got rid of my negativity; having indulged myself in new positive circles of life.

Many things have changed in my life and in the life of others, only because of what I learned; which made a turning point in my mindset and my approach towards others. I have formed a new mindset and gained a new perspective on relationships, and started to act on it.

I learned that I am responsible about my thoughts, attitudes, and what the history will write about me.

I have met people from different cultures, experiences and ministries. I learned how to work together as a team. I have felt the spirit of love and giving.

AWT: you have nourished me spiritually and psychologically. I was able to say, “I love you” to my mom for the first time after many years. I was able to bless those who mistreated me; I was set free!

AWT has significantly influenced my life; providing me with many tools that have empowered me in my personal life and ministry. The vital you presented materials have helped many women, too. Arab Woman Today will not only be for today, but will also be for tomorrow and for the coming generations. I knew my identity in Christ. I forgave my abuser. I have a deeper genuine relationship with the Lord. I have purified my motives; I am not a people-pleaser any more. I am serving out of love and not out of obligation right now. I have shared about forgiveness and witnessed many women being healed and set free. They even began to pray and declare blessing over the life of the aggressor. It is a miracle in itself; a story that is worth to be celebrated! I have had pain and suffering for years because of dispute in my own household; as a result all communication was cut-off between brethren, and my heart was broken. I tried several times to fix the relationships, but failed. My participation in AWT 2015 annual network helped me truly understand the true meaning of divine forgiveness. I was able to distinguish between forgiveness and reconciliation. I prayed a lot and shed lots of tears, and released forgiveness with my whole heart. I felt peace that surpasses all understanding. Yet, I have still been waiting upon the Lord to bring reconciliation and it truly occurred last Christmas 2016: I experienced and reaped the harvest of my prayers of many years; I have witnessed my family reunion with complete healing taking place!

“It is a dream for many servants to participate in your trainings, to be supported and encouraged along the journey of ministry. Your characters and the way you have been treating us have made a difference in our history. The chances that I have been offered will by faith, courage and commitment, be really effective during the coming period in my life. Since, I will be leading some young girls and women through home counseling sessions.”

“It wasn’t by coincident that God gathered us in this place. Personally and faithfully I say that every meeting, sermon, lecture, and word that has been spoken made a difference in me and in my life. However, this tends to leave us with a huge responsibility for the coming period driving us to walk in the plan of God for our lives, so that we can truly make a difference for the glory of His name. Thank you for your hearts and shepherding spirit that have influenced us. I have also been given the chance to meet beautiful Arab women, and through all the training I have learned a lot from them, and I thank God for their lovely hearts.”

You came to my rescue in the toughest two years of my life!

Drawing my tree of roles drove me to set my priorities and expectations. For example, determining my role as daughter helped me set the time I dedicate to take care of my mother. To set a special time for caring and my expectations out of this role which is her psychological, mental, physical and spiritual health to be well. I learned that there are limits so as not to consume but plan a monthly program to include my responsibilities so that I can too care about myself and fulfill my others roles in life as a worker, a manager, a friend, and an aunt.

I thought that the role is part of our identity, but with this new knowledge, I realized that the role doesn’t represent the identity and who I am. This awareness led me to rearrange lots of relationships and set my priorities to be able to do my roles in giving.

I learned that we have to carefully select and filter our circle of friends and determine the level of friendship. And we also have to be aware of our weaknesses to avoid sudden incidents that occur in our lives. Therefore, I will filter my friendships and commit to friendship principles. I am aware of my weaknesses, and I’ll pray for them.

Through the tree of life, I discovered that my roles in life were not sufficient. Therefore I will work on improving them in my life. I will apply the balance in the wheel of life. I found myself in it, and I will share it in my life and at home first.

I learned how true friendship should be and how to care about what matters to a friend. I learned how to deal with them with responsibility and be a support in all circumstances respecting my limits.

Important topics. I wish the sessions were longer. I learned how to manage my tree of life; I had no balance in my wheel of life especially in the area of friendship. I realized how friendship should be! I discovered myself more, and I am now able to manage my life and friendships healthily.

My knowledge increased about my needs, friends, health care and balance in my wheel of life. I will try to filter my relationships and know the right timing to build friendships with commitment. And I’ll give more health care to my body.

I’ll pay attention to the aspects that consume me and my time and try to make balance.

I learned how to form a right friendship and to distinguish who is my true friend. And it’s not about having many. One who can understand me is sufficient to fulfill my need for friendship.

I learned where my weaknesses lie and how to grow them for my wheel of life to roll healthy.

I learned to be balanced and not consumed and not to allow my relationships to harm others. I learned to examine myself.

I learned how to set boundaries and not to exceed the limits.

I have already started to do my own budget. I am working on being a better listener; I now pay attention to may facial expressions while listening to my children, a subtle matter that helped both of us immeasurably. I learned that I should take care of myself without feeling guilty. I can now set my priorities straight. Above all, to lift what I can’t change to the Lord.

I learned from the conference to say no to things that make me uncomfortable and weary.

Learning about balance and making right decisions helped me make peace between my neighbors in our building. It was a day of victory over Satan.

The rich content I received from your training helped build me personally. Now I can share what I learned where I live.

I decided to give the priority to my family. I used to be always involved in work, but now I realized that I should give them all the time in the world. This helped me spend more time with them and get to know them in a better way. My relationship with my children is much better than it used to be thanks to you.

I am trying to apply some of the counseling advice I received with my students at school.

I always try to take care of others, but this time there was someone taking care of me. The lecture about forgiveness made a huge difference in my life; I changed my attitude towards others. I now share this lesson with my beloved ones.

I learned to put myself under pressure. I am able now to prioritize my and balance my chores in order of importance.

I left a small amount of my pension money in the bank in this month. I will do my best to learn how to save and run my house expenses.

You helped me in become wiser about how I spend the money I have. I used to get into a lot of financial problems because of my lack of organization.

This conference changed my perspective towards myself. It benefited my relationship with my daughter in law and my married daughter with her husband. I learned how to make myself happy, and that nobody can steal my happiness and peace.

I shared what I learned from the Network with my prayer group. I turned the material I learnt into a booklet as a gift to encourage them. I will do the same with the ladies’ group I lead.

This is the only conference I attended that cared about me.

Through your AWT’s 2013 Annual Network Conference, I seized the opportunity and connection with the Haggai Institute Regional Representative in the Middle East and arranged a visit for them to Iraq to create a revival place. I’m now the institute’s coordinator in Iraq. In 2014, I took the chance to offer training services to Iraqi veterans to open more doors for people in Iraq who are in dire need for any sort of help.

I found love, care, and encouragement in your treatment; you made me realize that I’m valuable in the eyes of God. The knowledge, experience, and methods you taught us in the training workshops and from following your social media are very beneficial to my well-being. Thanks to you, I now reflect all I learnt with the Syrian Refugees I serve with in Mafraq, Jordan.

I’m determined to take care of my health now; I have been encouraged to have more self-control over what I consume and get rid of my old eating habits. Because of that, my husband also got encouraged to follow the same nutritious plan I’m going to follow.

Ever since I came back from the Network, I have been sharing the topics about change with my family and my women’s group. I took a gesture of encouragement by presenting two gifts to the most interactive women in the group. I am using the ideas I learned in a beautiful creative way. Thank you AWT for your ideas.

I once came back home from the network and found that my daughter had painted the wall and the floor in my bedroom black. I was shocked when I saw it; however, I learned in the conference that I should deal with this issue in the a different way. I helped myself move from the shock stage to the integration stage in the cycle of change. I waited to talk to her the next morning, but I did not scold her. She immediately apologized and helped me remove the paint.

I thank all who prepared for the conference. I worked with my kids on the crafts we did at the conference. They enjoyed them a lot. My daughter told me she will teach them to her friends at school.

I set goals to walk through them in the change process, and I started to implement them by the grace of the Lord. However, it is not easy and the devil resists our change fiercely, but we will continue by the power of the Lord.

I took a decision to spend one hour daily with my kids reading stories. My favorite hour of the day.

I took a decision to spend one hour daily with my husband and children without any kind of media or internet distraction. After the first day, my kids did not want to go to bed. They told me, “Let’s keep on talking. Let’s talk every day.”

I gave training to those assisting us in ministry using the material I learned. I have shared what I learned with my friends, family and our youth group at church. People began to take practical steps toward change in their lives. I really can’t wait for next year to see what God has in store for me, so as to benefit and share the benefit with others!

Thank you for the very useful conference. I needed such teaching, especially because I serve in Sudan, a country that is in great need for change and development. Hopefully, when South Sudan gets more stable, we will invite you to witness the fruit of your big work, because your work does not go in vain in the eyes of the Lord.

Thank you for your support, continuous help, and follow-up on every phase at a time. I had an achievement and a new change in my life to announce: I lost 4.5 kilograms.

Change management is what I needed in this stage of my life which is witnessing a lot of sudden changes, whether in the place of residence, health, or service. The conference raised my awareness on how to deal with sudden change.

I have developed a change plan in my life in regards to my daily program which is heavily-occupied with tasks. I began to dedicate a special time to my family more than before. I have also worked to change the quality of my food, since I have been neglecting myself a lot lately. I started to choose healthy food, in order to be able to do my tasks as a mother, a wife, an employee, and a servant in the church.

The conference was a turning point for me. I have first true love for the first time in my life. I felt belonging and acceptance in your group more than anything else.

The conference helped me to spend more time with family. It helped me know how to deal with the death of my grandmother. It helped me prioritize my Sundays to go to church. I thank you so very much for the opportunity that introduced me to the amazing work you are doing. May the Lord bless you in every way and I hope to see you in another conference.

Many things changed in my life and character. The conference was influential!

I will share with others all what was given to me by people the Lord put in my path.

I will change my whole life style. I will continue my studies.

Next time I face a painful situation, I will accept it and deal with it with patience, faith and wisdom.

I will seek to be a healthy and happy person.

I am where I am today because of you. I always come back from your conferences renewed with energy.

I faced too many problems with abandonment and neglect. Nonetheless, I will not let these problems stand as a barrier in the growth of my well-being. I will not let these factors impact my personality and character in a negative way.

I am refreshed and healed. I now know what I want. I have already set a smart goal and have become fully determined to use my God-given talents in order to pursue my calling to study counseling and serve the church here in Jordan. My heart aches for women in my hometown.

You helped me rise again. I am now able to stand up and see who I am and focus on my identity. You made me more powerful and more motivated to keep going with my own ministry. God bless you.

For the first time, I felt truly pampered, encouraged and comforted. I’ve never been so indulged like this before, what a superb team of marvelous ladies serving us! I felt like I was in a fine gallery of masterpieces, where every woman is a chef-d’oeuvre!

I was astonished by the high standard of organization and attention-to-detail, besides the care shown by the serving staff. On the ministry level, this participation gave me great motivation to change the method we follow in ministry in Aleppo.

Thanks for caring and leaving an impact on the life of my friend who attended your conference for the first time. I thank you very much for the gift, it really is great. I was impressed with it along with all the wonderfully written words. May the Lord bless you. You are outstanding.

Wow! I’m happy because the conference made a great difference in my life. You showed me your fervent love; each touch of love has planted mighty things in my life.

I would like to share with you what my roommate at the Network told me. At the beginning, she couldn’t believe that someone cares about her, considering that she has always been suffering from marginalization, negligence and demolition. She told me that she was overwhelmed with joy when you tried persistently to call her, facing a hard time to get her personal phone number. She thanked the lord for you because you are the only people who have lifted her up and appreciated her. Thank you.

Many thanks to all ministry staff, the conference was a blessing to me. Honestly, I came to the conference burdened with and puzzled about several things, but the Lord directed my heart and mind.

I went back to Lebanon with a different mindset; I joined school in order to start working on my intellectual skills. I studied high school with teenagers. They made fun of my age. At first it was hard; I used to go back home with tears in my eyes each day because I didn’t understand what the teacher was talking about but God helped me get through it. I passed my exams and successfully finished high school. My life has changed since I started to attend AWT Annual Network Conference. The blessings were also poured out on my husband and children. I gave the material I learned to my daughter whom I hope to be able in her turn to attend such a conference. I would like her to learn how to be an effective woman in the society; serving other women and proclaiming that the woman has value.

I have been praying for such an opportunity. I acquired many ideas and was challenged in the way I view things. I learned a lot!

The Lord has heard my cry and my need. He brought me to this conference, spoke to me and met my needs.

My vision is to be involved in helping people of God reach their potential and become free from their bondage and insecurities.

Thank you for providing the opportunity to be with women from many Arab countries, where we get to share experiences in a rich way!

It is important to me to learn how to write down my vision, how to set goals according to God's will, l and how to start to work being led by that.

I have learned how to rest and have peace in the Lord knowing that He is in control no matter what!

The day after the conference was over; I faced a crisis at my working place. I was able to face the situation with courage and calmness, applying the practical principles I learned about crises management.
