Testimonies

Our services are based on Safeguarding and are extremely confidential. We are respecting confidentiality by keeping all identities secure. These are only some of the 200 plus testimonies we have witnessed.

SDK thank you for helping me and my family to be saved.
I was very sad and helpless, when I call Lorenia, at SDK, I was given great emotional support. I can only say that I felt a great peace in my heart. Lorenia was attentive and dedicated to my case. She didn’t let me give up my fight. She explained the paths and process of getting out of a toxic relationship. When I explained that I needed a letter for the Court, Lorenia after a few days, sent a copy to me by mail too.
I met Lorenia back in 2017 and I was in a very abusive relationship. I received help and love in a non-judgmental way. I am not where I want to be yet, but definitely getting there.
I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and I’ve spent thousands of pounds on constellations therapy, none made the bleeding go away. L prayed for me and I was healed.
I have struggle with pornography and adultery and there was so much shame, I didn’t know what to do and since I met L. my life has turned around for good.
I was suicide and addicted to alcohol and drugs and one day this woman walked into my church service and after she prayed for me I was delivered and healed.

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
