Refuel 2005 Testimonies

Below are some testimonies from the young adults that visited Refuel in Trinidad earlier this year. Here we have a practical demonstration of a United Caribbean.

A testimony from Barbados..."Refuel was the camp of the year as far as I am concerned. It was awesome in more ways than one" “Refuel! Refuel! What can I say? It was the most incredible experience I ever had." . "I can truly say I came back fired-up and refueled". A voice from Antigua... “This year God has done somethings in my life bringing me closer to him than before, and healing my hurts" Words of wisdom from Trinidad..."So for all those out there, realize that it's not just the grown-ups talking about Christ, so are the youths. We are the ones to make a difference. 'Try it you will like it."

Kelly-Ann Bowen (Barbados)

“Refuel was the camp of the year as far as I am concerned. It was awesome in more ways than one. I was personally blessed by God through the speakers that He brought at that time. Prophecies on my life were confirmed and I know that they will come to pass. The way I viewed myself was changed because how I saw myself and how God saw me were two different things. Besides that it was such a blessing to see so many young people from the region together in one place with one common goal; to lift up the name of the Lord Jesus. I am definitely looking forward to Refuel 2006; don’t miss it.”

Tesilka Francis (Antigua)

“This year God has done somethings in my life bringing me closer to him than before, and healing my hurts. Refuel 2005 was the place God did this and my heart's desire is to be totally sold out to him. He’s taught me to be more patient and to wait on him and he will give me those things which are in store for me. My encouragement to anyone is Trust in God and he will bring what he says to past. God Richly Bless.”

Victoria Jack (Barbados)

“Well first of all I want to say thanks to you Lisa for planning it in the first place. When I heard about refuel honestly the only reason I wanted to go was because it would get me away from home for a while.
Then when I got to Trinidad and I got to meet the other youth it was so amazing, I mean it just change the way I felt about the whole trip.
Then the best part came, God just moved miraculously in my life and in the lives of the other young people. It was so awesome I can’t wait until Refuel 2006.”

Jermaine Jack (Barbados)

“Refuel! Refuel! What can I say? It was the most incredible experience I ever had. It was also the most mind blowing, understood thing I had ever done, it was just amazing. We had so much Food (spiritually) in one week; I am still getting revelation. The ministries were great they were plain, so plain everyone could understand. Because of Refuel my life will never be the same. It was just awesome; it was just you and God and then His wonderful people. There was no worldly music, no swearing or anything to distract you or contaminate what God was doing. We were just filled with pure Food, Refuel was the best.”
Jonathan Allen (St. Maarten)

“My experience at the Refuel camp was wonderful. It was fun for me to meet new people and see other cultures and also it gave me a spiritual boost. The speakers were brilliant and they came down to our level as they educated us on their experiences.
So I would invite anyone who wants to grow spiritually and meet new people to come next year and be blessed.”

Trudi Brathwaite (Barbados)

“Refuel was the best. Although I was a bit nervous at first as soon as I got there I had a sense of calmness. When everything had officially started, it was awesome. God spoke to people in many different ways and I believe everyone was changed and moved to a higher level. For me, I sensed God's presence in my life stronger than ever and when I arrived back home in Barbados, I can truly say I came back fired-up and refueled. Members of my church saw the difference and I'm sure each and everyone who attended refuel can say the same for themselves. It was a great experience with God and great fellowship with others from around the world.”

Chinaka Pierre (Trinidad)

“I grew up in a regular Roman Catholic home, and I always thought that I loved the Lord and was on the straight path. I did not offend Him and I refrained from doing wrong. I joined my church choir when I was at the age of seven, so you could say I was church based. Back then if you asked me anything about the traditions of the church I could have told you. It took me a while to figure out some traditions are made to be broken. I realized that even the oldest traditions of the church have nothing to do with the church. But even though that was understood, there were still many obstacles for me to overcome. I was - like many - a victim of peer pressure. It was learnt that it wasn't 'cool' to boast about God, but it was 'cool' to boast about your boyfriends. It wasn't 'cool' to correct people when they were blaspheming or making serious mistakes about religion, but it was 'cool' to allow people to curse and offend each other. I adhered to these rules because at the time I wanted to be 'cool'. So most of my life, I thought I was 'cool' not knowing that this physical life would soon pass and I would never know when so I need to change for me to able to not only be on God's side but to experience the best in life. I was then introduced to 'Refuel 2005' by my dad the day before the actual retreat. I made my choice to go because I was always up for change and what harm can it do. When I went to my first session the first thing that struck me was the way how these youths were able to praise God without thinking of what the other person was thinking of them. They were all in it for God. I watched as they were able to let themselves go and just let God take control. I asked myself “Why can't I do it?” I'm no different. And I was able to let myself go and it felt so good knowing that I had nothing to worry about because I let God in and he was in total control of my life. Refuel really helped me to understand myself, my religion and my God. It also introduced me to the most wonderful and happy people I have ever met. I was able to make friendships, that I am sure, will last a long time. So I was so happy when Lisa the founder of Refuel to ask me to testify about my experience, because I am always so happy to talk about how God has made a difference in my life. So for all those out there, realize that it's not just the grown-ups talking about Christ, so are the youths. We are the ones to make a difference. 'Try it you will like it.'”
