Sharing testimonies is what inspires those that are still in darkness; it explains that there can be light in every situation and there can be someone to help them through it...

"End of 1997 to 1998 I had several surgeries including 4 brain surgeries...resulting in almost 7 month's of the year in hospitals...in ICU ,High Care or in a single room due to high risk of infection . After one of these procedures, I was attached to external draining for cerebrospinal fluid since my VP Shunt was removed. This meant that there were valves that had to be opened/closed before I could get up in a sitting position for 5 min every 8 hours. One day, one of the wonderful nurses that took care of me accidentally forgot one of the valves....resulting in me getting very sick shortly after getting in almost upright position...I saw all off this...as if from watching from above...Months after starting to recover I " remembered" this incident while watching a movie. It was extremely upsetting and due to the nature of it ,I didn't mention it to many people....but was worried about it...it was always a concern in my mind...Fast forward many years ,changing church denomination and given grace by Jesus Christ to learn and understand more about the spirit realm...I still wondered and was worried...just being unsettled by it. Earlier this year, 2023, I was blessed to attend a training given by Mandy at our Church Doxa Deo . She mentioned the existence of these out of body experiences and the silver cord and several other things....the Holy Spirit was opening up a safe space for me to speak about this experience that I have carried around for so long...Mandy prayed with me and the peace and reassurance I have felt after that prayer is something words cannot explain. The knowledge and understanding of what happened and learning more about all parts of myself that God has created and taken care of my body ,spirit, and soul and the healing in al 3 has made my love and gratefulness towards my Lord and Savior even deeper . I am so thankful that Mandy is obedient and avails herself to Jesus Christ to work endlessly in His Kingdom ! Thank you, Mandy, and the highest thanks to our Heavenly Father for blessing us with an open spirit to receive so much more than we could ever imagine." - JdJ (November 2023)

"This is my testimony to inspire the lost and hopeless who are mostly misunderstood and rejected by the world we live in today.

I had a very broken and painful childhood. Both my parents were alcoholics and my father was not present. Rejection, fear and emptiness was all I knew. I searched for acceptance everywhere and lost my own identity as a result of this. Drugs and bad friends became my family. The family I had I pushed away. My partners were all abusive and physically violent. The same life my mom lived and it led to her death. I stayed all over and never had a home. I lived on the streets for a year. All my life I prayed and cried for God to show me that I belong somewhere and that I am loved.

I waited patiently for the Lord, He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God (Psalm 40:1-3

2years ago God blessed me with a daughter. I am a single mommy and She gives meaning to my life. I am drug free and I have my life back. All the Glory to God.

I decided to go to Agape Counselling to see a very inviting lady who was prepared to listen to my heart. Mandy showed me through her acceptance of me that my past, my wrongs, my experiences is not who I am, and that God accepts me just as I am.

Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. (Proverbs 11:14)

She taught me how to forgive myself, to start loving myself and to give that love to those I love. She taught me how to pray and how to take on the challenges of each day. She is a true warrior, soft at heart and so dear in spirit.

Today I have life with meaning and love for all that God has given me and that I am so Lucky to be His Child. I walk my journey with pride, and I know I am not alone.

Thank you, Mandy Erwee. You are a very special friend."
