Early on, maybe back in the year 2006, I was introduced to the Cleveland Ministry by a friend after hearing a sermon by Pastor Chandler on an audio CD. The sermon was about love and in many ways it had spoken to the core of issues centered around myself and my family in ways that no one else has done before. During that time, I had a fiance from the Philippines (who is now my wife) and was very concerned that I would damage the relationship because I had come from such a dysfunctional family. While my dream was to have a Christ centered marriage, I knew that in my current state, I wasn’t ready. I was dealing with many personal issues, temptations and addictions. Thankfully, God knew my needs and he brought me to the Cleveland’s ministry.
In early 2007, my fiance came from the Philippines and had gone through marriage counseling. That was a rude awakening for me! Pastor Chandler didn’t pull any punches and he didn’t waste any time in telling me NOT what I wanted to hear, but what I desperately NEEDED to hear. Pastor Chandler and Pastor China exposed those things that I really needed to let go of if I was to move into this new life of Marriage.
In 2008, after having gone through counseling with Pastor Chandler and Pastor China, Malou and I were married. Today we have a Christ centered marriage and we have two beautiful children. In retrospect, I believe the success of my married has A LOT to do with the time I spent with both Pastor Chandler and Pastor China. At different times I would listen to their sermons and it would speak to what I was going through and help me to grow spiritually.
It is now 2011 and I still, go back at times and listen to his older sermons and then come back to this site and listen to new sermons and try to piece things together and I always come to a deeper understanding of myself, my role as a husband and a father.
While the topic is about marriage, my wife and I learned many things from the Cleveland family that have just been tremendously blessed by their ministry.
The marriage seminar was an incredible experience for me and my husband. Since that moment our communication has evolved to a more deep level. And we want it to stay like this for all our time together. I am really thankful to Chandler and China for all of your words and blessings. We hope to see you back in Colombia.
Blessings,
Raquel and Juan Carlos
Fernando e Ingrid Muñoz participamos en el mes de Septiembre con los ápostoles Cleveland´s en Cali-Colombia por medio de nuestra congregación en un seminario para parejas sobre la comunicación,su importancia y la necesidad de la buena y sana confrontación en amor entre la pareja.
Ha sido un tema escabroso entre nosotros,y fué de mucha confrontación cuando lo recibimos.Hemos continuado el proceso juntos con amor aunque no nos guste buscando soluciones y madurando.
El E.S. nos ha ayudado y la oración juntos en el altar,intencificando nuestros tiempos juntos de oración,intercesión y lectura de la palabra aparte del devocional de cada uno.Estoy viendo al Señor moverce entre nosotros con más compación,comprención,madurez y amor fraternal.
Gracias por enseñarnos a saber que si podemos avanzar de la mano de Jesús y ser felices con lo pequeño,pero grande e importante entre nosotros y cada vez mejores familias.
Mi Esposa y Yo, asistimos al seminario sobre una comunicación efectiva, en Guatemala, John y su Esposa, fueron un pilar fundamental en nuestra relación… la cual venia decallendo a pesar que llevamos 12 años de matrimonio, la oración y el mensaje espiritual que recibimos en esos tres días que duro este magnifico evento, no me resta mas que agradecer a Dios haber puesto en nuestro matrimonio al Profeta Chandler y su esposa, para que nos cimentara realmente en base al amor a Dios nuestra relación, ahora llevo apenas dos semanas desde que fue el seminario, y hemos puesto en práctca todos los consejos de comunicación junto a mi Esposa.. y creanme mi testimonio es de UN CAMBIO TOTAL en nuestra relación afectiva , Felicito de todo corazón al profeta Chandler y su esposa por haber llegado a depositar en nuestro matrimonio un mensaje lleno de paz, esperanza y sobre todo Amor, no solo en nosotros sino que en Dios! Los queremos Mucho y gracias.
