Testimonials

"Thank you for coordinating the “Let’s Grow Together!” Zoom event yesterday. I had signed up myself and my church coordinator and … held some resistance to attending. I have altered my approach to ministry and find 'Fundraising' an old-fashioned concept and not what I am here to do. And ... Denis surprised me! In a very good way!

"We picked up several excellent suggestions as well as were affirmed for many of the things we are already doing. It was GREAT!!

"You can count on us being on the monthly calls moving forward."

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your incredible efforts and the inspiring message of the Unity Worldwide Ministries program, "Let's Grow Together". I am sincerely thankful for the knowledge and am eagerly looking forward to implementing this invaluable information at Unity of Fort Lauderdale, thanks to your guidance.

I truly appreciate you and your dedication to our Unity Worldwide community!
