Life changing, going home nothing like I came. I’ve got my JOY back. So, so glad I came. Thank you for making this happen.

Going home exhausted- the good kind that comes from being full of new hope, new friends, and new strength. Thank you for everything!

My heart overflows and I'm living in the afterglow of an amazing time together. Thanks to all of you....the Leadership Team, the Worship Team, the Attendees, Paseo Church, and our Awesome God for creating an atmosphere where we could feel love, unity and strength to help push us forward to find the purpose that God has ordained in our lives.

Thank you for organizing the conference. I enjoyed being there and really enjoyed meeting many I’ve only seen in pics on FB. The conference helped me tremendously.

Thank you for planning and providing this opportunity to fellowship with people who have experienced the challenges of losing a spouse. It was a blessing.

I can’t remember how I was finally coaxed, lol, into attending the Next Chapter conf/retreat, but I’m so thankful I was! I realized this morning it was the first ministry conf I had been a part of since Bro. O. died. We’re usually recognized in ministry because of our husbands, but this time I was recognized for me…was that my choice? No, it was God’s…and I accept that. Something changed in me…to what extent, I don’t know, yet, but I am so grateful.
