"Never in my nearly 25 years of ordained ministry have I been blessed with such an outpouring of prayer and such a Spirit of Christ's love among us as a parish family. Faith Alive has spurred us in the movement and desire to give witness to our faith. Our music, prayers, worship and community have been transformed by the Body of Christ in the form of a Faith Alive team! Thanks be to God!"

The Rev. Charles E. B. Gill

Nags Head, North Carolina

"It was so moving. Many people were touched, many lives changed. It amazed me that this was all done on the basics of Christianity - testimony, prayer, music, fellowship. What a rich experience! 9:00 Sunday worship was a big WOW! What energy. What love. What profound prayer. It is an answer to prayer to have parishioners eager to participate in small groups. This is something I've talked about and worked for for years now. It's finally happening. So is a renewed commitment to youth ministry and the elderly."

The Rev. Francis Hebert

St. Peter's Episcopal Church

"Our Faith Alive Weekend was a truly wonderful, excellent time. We were able to see and celebrate the gifts that we have as this 'family of faith.'

" An excellent Weekend! The witnessing was sensitive, deep and connective and highlighted Jesus, not just an experience of him.

A wonderful opportunity to grow together in Jesus!"
