YouTube - My God is an Awsome God >>>Awesome. Inspirational. Very grateful for the testimonies. The unity is brilliant. Matthew, Ashburton
Good time to clarify thoughts and to line up with God's thoughts. Lester, Christchurch
Great theme of going into the crucible. The cleansing of [the] heart, removal of the dross/flank. The heart [is] the wellspring of life. Wayne, Hokitika
Excellent speakers and challenges. Great “spiritual warrant of fitness” each year. Keeps my heart good with Jesus and good to hang out with the bro’s at church. Mike, Christchurch
May God continue to help Promise Keepers and Promise Keepers to help mighty men of God. Julian, Christchurch
Believe I come away [with] a better appreciation of what Promise Keepers is all about. The speakers have inspired me on every topic. I'm excited about what the Lord is doing through PK in New Zealand, also the fellowship and worship with the brothers is great. J, Christchurch
Very good time, great songs. Loved praying with [my] son. M. J, Ashburton
Amazing. God really spoke to our whole team. It was a buffet of God’s spiritual food (I was full the first night). God is awesome and His presence was strong in the place and the people. Seldon, Blenheim
The events and sermons were powerful. The inclusion of personal testimonies was greatly appreciated and life-changing. Howard, Ashburton
Loved it. God is good. You guys have worked hard to help make it work. Singing is fantastic. Steve, Ashburton
The thing I love about Promise Keepers is it brings me closer to God. Since the first time I can't wait until the next one next year. The fellowship with so many Christian men is great. Graham, Timaru
Love coming to Promise Keepers. Very good speakers. Good teaching subjects. Good fellowship with other brothers from here and away. Good unity from church groups. Karl, Kaiapoi
Encourages me to keep focused and work hard on the priorities in life. To help my sons and daughters and brothers along the way. I love the men singing. Your variety of speakers is awesome. K.F, Geraldine
As always, a fantastic uplifting Event giving a renewal fire and passion for God. After almost not coming this year I am glad I changed my mind and put through that last-minute registration. Bradley, Kaiapoi
Men are becoming more serious in their spiritual walk. Promise Keepers is and has been an important part of my own spiritual growth - my spiritual and yearly warrant of fitness - thank you very much team. Owen, Nelson
Came last year and gave myself to the Lord. Went home [and] got baptised. Thank you. This year still has great value. And thank you. Heaps. So much for so little. I came in a group and hope to come back with a larger group next year. Alistair, Blenheim
Very impressed with the whole Promise Keepers ministry, especially that it is not just all over after the conference but great follow-up during the year. Derek, Blenheim
Great teaching, fun, purpose-driven, God-driven, great location and music, wide range of teaching. Sam, Blenheim
A heart-changing experience. A. W, Nelson
Excellent. Would not miss PK. Geoff, Christchurch
Fantastic event, great speakers, awesome worship. I really enjoyed your ADHD worship leader. Personal highlights - all the teaching but particularly the teaching on family and sexuality. My wife has seen a change in me that she directly attributes to PK and the Men’s Ministry team that I head. William, North Canterbury
Inspiring and challenging speakers which make you consider your relationship with God, wife, family and fellow Christians. George, Oamaru
Gathering so many empowering speakers in one location gives us all enough knowledge to impact our own lives and use that knowledge to improve our attitude to God. Tim, Christchurch
This was a deeply impacting and profoundly personal event for me. Chris, Christchurch
This year’s topic was particularly relevant and I appreciated the honesty of the speakers, especially when talking of failures in their lives – that is actually very encouraging. I’ve been like an 8 cylinder car running on 5 cylinders. I want to run on all 8! Richard, Oxford
A great guy time with my mates in my fellowship. Time out of a regular lifestyle to remember important things. John, Nelson
Came with my son. Great Event for father and son. Alex
Very worthwhile, very eye-opening, well presented, very easy to follow. Gregory, Christchurch
Speakers bring life. Recharge me as a man. Refocuses me as a man. Bill, Richmond
Brilliant – very high standard of speakers who all put a huge amount of effort into their presentations. The response from everyone here was a testimony to the speakers’ input into the Event. Peter, Kaiapoi
Excellent – kickstart for our Men’s Ministry. 2 hour debrief on Friday night with the group we bought down. Glenn, Richmond
Everything... everything was bang on exactly what I needed to be filled with, to move forward as a better, stronger, more focussed man and a better husband and father. Todd, Christchurch
Although coming in at one of the toughest times of my life it has been a great experience and uplifting and inspiring in every way. Liam, Wainoni
Personally, I loved to see passion again. When I doubt, seeing someone who is truly passionate about the Lord witnesses to my spirit and contributes to build up my faith. Vincent, Ashburton
Superb, back to basics, back to the heart of the matter. Ian, Rangiora
High calibre of speakers a real highlight. Honesty from the pulpit about past failures. GREAT Biblical preaching. Damian, Nelson
The Event was well organised and run. For me the highlight was the first session on Saturday night where they “Salvation offer” was made for the second time. To feel the Spirit of God sweeping over the auditorium convicting as he went was absolutely fantastic. Keep it up guys, it’s awesome. Wayne, Methven
Single Focus Testimonies:
Single Focus was excellent. Thank you! Grant, Kaiapoi
As a single guy, I got a lot out of Single Focus, how to approach women, what’s needed in building a relationship. Joseph, Bryndwr
Stance Testimonies:
Very spiritually rewarding. Stance was great - re-emphasising things I know about sexual purity and my need to seek security there. The testimonies and stories of people's lives. The worship times, as well as the Scripture and prayer. Hearing all the men singing their hearts out. Meeting [and] talking to many different men reminded me when I went up on an altar call at a Franklin Graham Crusade. Daniel, Ashburton
The Event and Richard Ellena’s sermon impacted me because it dwelt further on what I was thinking. And I responded to a prayer in the Stance session. And a big weight lifted from my shoulders! Nathan, Papanui
Stance was fantastic! Keep up the great work PK... you rock!!! I have grown heaps over the weekend. I have been able to receive God's salvation and move on in life. Josh, Omarama
Stance - good stuff!!! Josh, Christchurch
Praise and worship time was powerful and impacting. Loved being able to bail it out. Stance this year was the best yet! The speakers were very wise and insightful. Loved the sex talk - very helpful. Cam, Christchurch
AWESOME! Great speakers, great worship. Personal highlights were Stance and the main hall sermons – the worship. Life-changing. Joe, Hokitika
Really powerful. Awesome worship service and presence of God. Awesome teaching in Stance. Isaac, Hokitika
Transition:
I brought my 11-year-old son with me. He has found it really hard work but I believe God's hand has been on him and he has grown significantly while here. I have been very encouraged and challenged as well. It's great to share with so many others when used to a congregation of fiftyish. Peter, Westport
Inspiring, great fellowshipping and great music! Full of awesome examples. Jonathan, Darfield
It is [a] very cool Event. I hope to come back to the Event soon. Zinny, Hokitika
What a fantastic spiritual experience! I have not been so challenged since I first gave my life to Christ. After this weekend, I plan to dramatically change my life definitely for the better! I am looking forward to next year. Daniel, Christchurch
Men’s Small Groups:
Encouraged me to get back into a small group and be more involved in church activities. Victor, Greymouth
Really well organised! Such inspiring messages with a real authentic challenge to surrender all to Christ Jesus. The small group stuff was amazing too! Amazing anointing of God. Encouraging to aim to win souls for Jesus. Ryan, Blenheim
Church for Men:
It is always good to receive such good teaching that speaks directly into the life of men in a way that men understand. I could hear God clearly saying to me, “As you begin your ministry in the place that I lead you; hold My hand and I will show you things that you have not yet even seen. Just trust Me still.” My wife Denise tells me often that she loves it when I have been close to God because when I come home the glow of Christ is very visible on me and that helps her to feel Him and know Him in her life. It is as though I bring Him home with me in a way that she can clearly see and feel. When I attend PK I come close to God. It is me saying to God “I am totally Yours today; no distractions.” His response blows me away. Barry, Christchurch
