A testimonial from Jaime:

Laurie has walked with me through so many seasons of life, and I can say with complete confidence—her wisdom is truly unmatched. Whether it’s during a Bible study, over a cup of coffee, or during a desperate 8 p.m. phone call, her words are always soaked in love and undeniably led by the Holy Spirit. She doesn’t move ahead of Him—she lets Him lead. And it’s clear that the Lord has gifted her with deep perception and powerful discernment.

There are countless testimonies I could share that have Laurie’s fingerprints on them, but one of my favorites is about my daughter. I was sitting in Bible study with Laurie and a few other women when the Lord spoke very specifically to Laurie about my daughter, details that no one else could have possibly known. She shared the word with me, and I went straight home to tell my daughter. As I spoke, she wept. For months, she had been tormented by nightmares and had told no one. The enemy had tried to keep her silent and bound in fear, but that day, the chains broke.

Laurie sees people—truly sees them. She listens, she loves boldly, and she speaks truth without hesitation. Her faith is alive and active, and she’s helping people of all ages walk in the freedom God has for them. I’m forever grateful for the way He uses her.— Jaime Colvin

A testimonial from Caleb’s mom:

It’s been nearly two years since my then 16-year-old son first crossed paths with James Jones, and I still struggle to find the words to fully express how profoundly that moment altered the course of his life. The way James listens to the Lord, follows His leading, and speaks truth with boldness and compassion is nothing short of a divine gift.

At the time, no one knew my son had been silently battling suicidal thoughts for seven long months. But God did—and He used James in a powerful, undeniable way. Through James, my son encountered the unwavering love of a God who sees, knows, and cherishes him beyond measure.

To this day, James remains a consistent, faith-filled presence in my son’s life—a steady pillar of encouragement and hope. I believe with all my heart that my son is alive by the grace of God, and that James was the faithful, obedient servant God used to help breathe life back into him. His genuine love for people and his deep care for their hearts is evident in all he does. — Mother of Caleb
