Testimonials of The Well

My experience at The Well was an “eye opener”. I was guided to explore certain things that made me who I am. As my story evolved I realized and was gracefully directed to the destination points in the garden, where things began to come together. Although at times I felt “naked”, I also felt God’s covering, which gave me the courage to tell and own my story and be ashamed. God’s overwhelming presence is definitely in this place. Thanks Apostle Valentine for allowing God to use you to help mend this broken, shattered life. Through this experience I have rediscovered the beauty that lies in the heap of ashes.

Poolside Reflections at ‘The Well’ “You don’t know, what you don’t know.” “ New holes in a boat bring about greater urgency for repair” “The pain from a wound will continue, even if relocated.” Thank you, Apostle, the Truly Magnificent Gift of your time and your abilities are invaluable.”
Helen Browne
At ‘The Well’ I was refreshed and given a new lease on life. No amount of money could ever be too much for such an experience. The Swing provided me the opportunity to be that little girl, to swing freely in His presence. Beauty for ashes is what was exchanged at the fire pit, letting it all go, once and for all was very liberating. My host and Spiritual Director Apostle Sandra Valentine made the experience even more meaningful. Her attention and sensitivity were very much evident and felt. I highly recommend her services and hospitality to those needing to be refreshed in the presence of God.
