What others have said about the CLP…

Dorothy P

“I learnt so much from each session and felt a deep joy and anticipation to attend each session.

Each talk was exciting and interesting, and all the speakers were ordinary Christians just like me. A renewed spirit of joy and enthusiasm and confidence in life. I came to see Jesus in a new light and felt His great love for me. I also discovered the gifts of the Holy Spirit that I can use to build up the Church in love.

To discover a new way of living and re-discover the living Christ and His personal love for me; a new joy of living and confidence in my life. Also a deeper prayer life and feeling God’s presence.”

Art J

“I attended because I wanted to grow in my faith. I learned many things, especially in the talks given; the love and welcome I received every time from the others were great.

I recommend it because it will change anyone’s life for the better. There is love and support in the community.

Anna P

“I heard things I didn’t know. It was very interesting. The people were very friendly and nice. I felt welcomed and reassured as these were people I knew and respected.

From this retreat, I made new friends, discovered a new awareness of Jesus in my life, started to read the Bible.

It deepened my faith through the sharing of experiences of other people.”

Sel R.

“I attended and stayed until the mission was finished because every time we went, as if I wanted to hear more and find more about my maker, my God and becoming aware of being an authentic Christian.

I recommend this mission to any Christian or someone who is searching for a Christian community because this is a good start for a better life.
