TESTIMONIES
I came needing filling with fuel. I believe God is doing that for me. Paul, Balclutha
Straight up speaking, honesty and integrity. Awesome worship. Touched by God. Wonderful presence of God. I feel like a new man. I feel tremendously refreshed and excited about God! George, Dunedin
Great speakers and great subjects covered. Stance was really encouraging and the question time at the end gave more insight as we covered topics from the group. Scott, Mosgiel
Very good. A lot of information to take in and comprehend. Highlight for me was Don McDonell. Matt, Dunedin
Wonderfully inspiring, as always. Extraordinary power and excitement. Two exceptional speakers: Andrew Whitehead. I wish I had his speech on paper. Craig Vernall. So many truths that I just learned and realised for the first time. This after 20 years of marriage. I learned a bit, but most importantly lessons for my marriage. Abraham, Balclutha
Awesome. I need to be re-fuelled. God showed me all the things he had done for me over the last 20 years. That ignited me. Rod, Oamaru
Good weekend where God came and met with the men. Sorted things I had to get sorted. Bevan, Oamaru
Well organised and co-ordinated, theme and topics well thought out, relevant and very helpful.
Will be a much more loving husband and father of my children. Will strengthen me in my Christian life and give me more stamina for my journey in the company of the master, our Lord Jesus. Moses, Mosgiel
Probably the best PK Conference I have attended. Good speakers, very relevant topics, down to earth. Geoff, Alexandra
Great Event. Helped with growth with other men from my church. Inspiring. Jason, Oamaru
Great Event to bring men together. It created good environment for men to open up and be ministered to and allowed men to be honest before God and man. Ricky, Oamaru
Very good word on sexual things. Norm McLeod and dramas very good. Words on family and wife situations. Stan, Oamaru
Always reticent to come, but never regret it once I’m here. Great reminders and renewed challenges in my walk! I am building deeper relationships through this Event. I go home enthused and encouraged in my leadership. Derrick, Invercargill
This was challenging but truly life changing for me. Made me think about my life with Christ and how I had drifted off the road. Personal highlight was Drifting and Co Driver sessions, where I know God is moving me to make real changes in my life. Chris, Invercargill
Just gets better every time. Craig, Dunedin
Really glad I came to this one after a break of 3 years and got revitalised. Enjoyed the humour and male singing. Wayne, Dunedin
Excellent Event overall. Great speakers and sessions. Found Dangerous Curves very honest and the Single Focus most valuable. Doug, Dunedin
It was fantastic. I felt I could be more honest to myself and to the men I was with. It inspired me to be a better husband and father. Thank you! David, Invercargill
Absolutely awesome. Helped me to refocus on family. Encouraged me to minister to others. Matthew, Dunedin
Inspiring and fulfilling. Has cemented my belief and standing confirming where I’m at!
Lionel, Invercargill Saturday afternoon awesome. Dramas and bumpers off the scale. Geoff Wiklund made witnessing simple. John, Gore
Blown away by the messages nailed deeply into my heart by Norm McLeod and Craig Vernall. Very apt and timely for me. Mike, Oamaru
Needed cleaning out and refocusing and set off in the right direction with God. Unknown
• Well organised, coherent structure (eg. central image of “Fuel” and associated ideas (Drifting, Pace Notes, etc).
• Leaders seem passionate about men and equipping local churches to build God’s Kingdom.
• Musicians are enthusiastic and lively.
• Quality of resources available is exception. Brian, Dunedin
Great Event. A much needed Event for men. Speakers were world-class, awesome men of God. Got heaps from the Event and tools to take and help others. Gary, Mosgiel
I have received Christ in this Event. I have witnessed the presence of the Holy Spirit in me. I am filled with the Holy Spirit. I will start and continue reading the Word of Christ. Fehoko, Invercargill
Great to hear North Island perspectives – they are different from ours. Thanks for keeping things honest – no subject taboo. Kere, Riverton
This is the best PK Event for me as the Holy Spirit challenged me through all speakers which were great. Music team awesome. Rodger, Balclutha
Excellent weekend. No punches pulled with hard issues which need to be addressed. Also great encouragement. Unknown
• Had chosen the wrong path in recent times. This weekend has brought God’s love flooding back. Extremely powerful weekend! Great to be in a room full of men who love God.
• Reaffirmed my faith in Him. Choosing the right path. How to be strong in my marriage.
• Speakers were awesome. Peter Whaanga blew me away with his testimony.
• God works miracles and he is still as strong and BIG in this world as He always has been. Paul, Dunedin
Enjoyed the conference this year, having missed the last couple. Especially enjoyed the Co Driver session with great ideas to improve my marriage. Loved the dramas, especially the Cave Men one (how those guys remembered their lines is amazing). Also loved the session on faith from Don McDonell sharing his testimony on the miraculous healing of his body – very inspiring. Grant, Dunedin
Every male Christian needs to experience what God has for him. This is an event where men can be uninhibited and express, impart and be indwelled with encouragement, fuel, direction and forgiveness with other men. I feel that the speakers and input were scripturally sound teaching. Allan, Invercargill
I felt a deep need for the support of men and Christian growth and renewal that this organisation promotes. Allan, Oamaru
I have missed the last 2 years as I have been overseas and I have also drifted off the highway. Men and myself need this Event as a way of topping up my tank. The devil deceives us into thinking we don’t need it. We do. Thank you for the challenges to make a change and appreciate that we don’t always have all the answers but we never will … Jesus lives! Keith, Invercargill
How do you think attending this Event will assist you in your Christian walk?
- Help me to be a solid dad and husband of substance and character
- Equip me with the tools needed to stand up as a man of integrity, and to maintain it.
- Encourage me to keep meeting with other men on a regular basis for fellowship, sharing and growth. Also accountability. Bevan, Dunedin

Amazing encouragement with walking forward with faith and that there is a greater plan for me even though I suddenly became single last month. David, Oamaru
