Faith & Fidelity Conference Attendee Testimonials

“The seminar was excellent! Steve and Martin did a terrific job. Our pastors verbally expressed their appreciation of our having Steve come and deal with this subject. They were also happy to learn of the recovery resources available. I will be happy to write a letter of recommendation for the seminar. May God richly bless you and Steve and your ministry this new year.”—Bob Peck, V.P. for Admin., IA-MO Conference

“I was just at a pastor’s meetings in Iowa and heard Steve Nelson speak. He presented a video of his and Samantha’s story [Call It Anything But Love!]. I, like all those who witnessed it, was touched to my soul. I was wondering if it would be possible to get a copy of that video? I had no idea of the amount of abuse that is in churches, and I think I could use it greatly in my ministry. Thank you for your ministry and your devotion to helping the hopeless and weary.”—Pastor Henton, MO

God bless you richly as you continue to serve Him in this vital area.”—Ramiro Cano, Executive Secretary, Central California Conference
