The Awakening 2005 Comments/Testimonies

Promise Keepers New Zealand is looking for men to share how God has impacted their life through the ministry of Promise Keepers.

Check out these comments from guys who have attended our Events:

An anointed ministry, important in nation building and speaks of what is dear and close to our Lord’s heart. A professional and well-thought of event, bless you gifted men and women who made this all possible. Thank you for your open and loving hearts towards men, their wives and their families.         Dominic

People have been asking me “Has it been life changing?”. My answer has to be “Yes, absolutely!”. After last year’s PK event, my life has very much been changed.        Michael 

Impressed with the professional manner in which event is run. Runs on time, good variety of speakers, video, worship, drama and comedy, book reviews, testimonies, etc. Enjoy hearing testimonies of how men’s lives have been changed through PK, especially local New Zealand men. Speakers were entertaining and relevant – lots of thought-provoking words.       Nigel  

The best PK conference I have attended. All the speakers were excellent and ministered powerfully to me. The singing was out of this world. Amazing. I had a real touch from the Holy Spirit – something I haven’t felt for a long time as I have only recently returned from a time in the wilderness. This conference has to be the highlight of my year. I feel a new found confidence and believe I can now walk more boldly. I am now working on improving my marriage of 42 years. After this weekend I realize I have been letting a lot of things slip.

God gave me a vision approximately 8 years ago of where he wanted me to be. It was to be a light shining out of a lighthouse on top of a very large hill. I did nothing about this until he reminded me recently and I have started taking very small steps up this mountain. Throughout the conference every speaker gave me reason to take larger steps. I now feel I can take giant steps in confidence and reach that place at last.       Bill 

The conference was excellent and I got a lot out of it. It has changed my life. First time visitor.   Ross 

Great motivational speakers with topics timely to our roles as fathers, husbands, workers in the world and workers for the Kingdom of God.      Derek 

The one thing I found different was this: The first two times were for me to grow. While I found that over time the message was still for me, my focus was not totally on myself. My focus was also on how the message could be used for others such as small men’s groups and other aspects of men’s ministry.      Jason 

Very good: Great music, video clips appropriate – fabulous, dramas great impact – helped remember message, panel discussion good, presenters excellent. Overall great variety of aspects to the male role in the Kingdom of God. Fabulous celebration of men that make up the Body of Christ from different denominations. Great encouragement by being together in presence of God. Appropriate and specific teaching to the men that make up the Body of Christ.      Hugh 

Very well done. Organisation of how each ministry was presented and its order was done built on each other. Loved the music and band. Everything was to the point without all the extra stuff that confuses the message.
[How do you think this event will assist you in your Christian walk?] I have been set free from over ten years of severe depression and attempted suicide as well as other strongholds in my life. I felt the joy of the Lord enter in my life. It was so powerful. I’m glad it comes in small doses.       Jorden 

Encouraging for men. Originally I found great help from the first 3 or 4 times I attended, but now God seems to have led me further on ahead of where the teaching is. Keep up the great work! I want to say that your work at PK has been a life changing work in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!      Paul  

Really enjoyed the event. Speakers were great, fresh and to the point. Was extra good to see time allowed for ministry after speaker sessions – important to be able to deal with issues challenged and surfaced through sermons. Especially enjoyed practical teachings from Mike Hawke (was my favourite speaker last year at Wellington) and Tavale Mata’ia. Tavale’s message inspired me to work harder at encouraging and being an example to my family! Another highlight was being with brothers from our fellowship for the weekend – we had a lot of fun!
The Lord told us before we went that we were going with something to give as well as to personally receive. The men took this seriously and made sure they gave their all! I personally enjoyed their enthusiasm.       Mark 

Absolutely amazing. Exactly what I needed to “awaken” the spiritual man inside of me. I wish I had attended PK or other men’s events earlier in my Christian walk and marriage.
Personal Highlight: Having the “Fire” rekindled, to be the person God has created me to be and to have the strength to conquer the “buts” and fears to succeed. Amen.      Alan 

I am making this a yearly event on my calendar.      Hune 

What an awesome event! The speakers were excellent and truly passionate about the Lord. After ending a week of uncertainty, doubt, frustration and confusion, I am so glad I chose to come to PK.       Laurence
