I don't think this got to you and thought you should benefit from the fruit of your labor. It made this grown man cry at work. Becki's story is one that I often think of when I tire in this work. She did the training we put on in May and her x-husband, Brian did our training in August. Both of them got saved on Sunday and they will be getting remarried in about two weeks. She has recently started a women's bible study that meets in Rocklin and has about 12-15 graduates that attend weekly.

Timing is everything -- just when I felt like my life was going great -- God intervened as only God can, and what I saw around the curve in the road was not a pretty picture.

After a year long separation from my wife I was depressed, hopeless, and a world-class enabler. I was existing day to day for the sake of my four kids. I had no goals, felt shame about my broken family, and my wife's alcohol consmption. One by one my kids moved in with me, but I made few real demands on my wife. As a result I began to lose the respect of my kids. Breakthrough forced me to see:

I had long believed that Jesus's sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of sins was enough for me. But I was living my life without letting God in. And my life became a mess. And the pain and despair grew each day.

I have gained an openness with my family and desire to pass on to others the tools that I gathered through Breakthrough, Discovery and One Accord. The vision and passion is back in my life!

I came from a family with an abusive alcoholic father. During the 1st 12 years of my marriage I made my husband pay for the pain I endured as a child by not allowing him to get too close. We had no intimacy, and the lack bled into my relationship with my two boys. God impacted me through ACCD by helping me see how I was contributing to the distance in my marriage.I was able to forgive my father and embrace my husband and fully give all of myself and my heart to him and to my two boys.

I always thought I was a good father because I provided and cared for my family. I loved my wife and two daughters very much. However, I began to realize that in my desire to always do things right I had never given them the one thing they really wanted and needed- my unconditional love. Breakthrough helped open that door for me. I have begun making a conscience effort to give unconditional love to my family. It is a daily effort, but filled with rich rewards.
|
|
I attended the Breakthrough training this past October, in Dallas. I had two close friends that had previously attended Breakthrough, and their excitement about their experience and demonstrated change in how they perceived life and relationships was contagious. When the training opportunity in Dallas became available it didn't take a lot of pursuasion to get me enrolled.

I was not able to physically attend last year’s ACCD fund-raiser in Santa Rosa. The 9/11 tragedies happened and I was still in Ohio the night of the event. However, I was present in spirit and by proxy. I was committed to be their, one way or another. By phone, I enrolled several people to attend and I bid on items on the web site. My Legacy coach, Debralee Ehrenpfort was my proxy at the auction.
|
|
A friend asked me to answer the question: "What happened to you at Breakthrough?" Here’s my nutshell answer. Well, it was intense beyond imagination and a horribly wonderful experience. I could have quit every night except the last. I got caught in all my wrong strategies for living — I could not hide. It was Christian Character Development Training and I really needed it!

I want to thank each of you in my group for all you did and shared of yourselves. Breakthrough opened up emotions in my life and past experiences that I didn't know were even there. I have a tendency to be too analytical and predict or live through in my mind what will or should happen in all of life. But through the four day crucible, it was revealed to me that I had shutdown or "died" about 4 or 5 years ago.

My name is Jennifer Murphree and I attended the Brakthrough Training in May/June of 2001 in Nashville, Tennessee. I was the youngest person in my group (20 years old at the time) and felt overwhelmed and under powered. Every other time in my life I was in complete control and could do anything/everything by myself. I had decided that I didn't need/couldn't depend on anyone else including God. What could He offer me anyways? Sure, he had helped me out of some very sticky situations during my troubled years, but what else did I need him for?

I went to Breakthrough in October of last year in Dallas and I was terrified! I did not want anyone to know anything about me--and certainly didn't care about knowing anything about anyone else. Breakthrough ended up being an incredible experience. I truly know I experienced miracles within and around me during this anointed time.
|
|
I went through Breakthrough in Nov. 2000 with my wonderful wife Stefani. I didn't really feel like I needed to be there so I thought I would go to help other people attending the training. Boy, was I blind to the truth.

I went to Breakthrough because of change I saw in my husband - lasting change. While there, I realized that my desire to love others more fully and genuinely, as Jesus did, was hindered by fears and insecurities. God showed me that my hesitations to be real and honest were a lot more about protecting myself (self-love) than about genuinely loving others.

Breakthrough is an incredible experience that takes you to the depths of yourself and holds up a mirror to see what is really there. I have described it to friends as the Lord taking a vacuum cleaner, reaching in and bringing up all the crap that the our environments, childhoods, life, satan, and ourselves and our choices have filled us with over the course of our lives. It is not an easy process, but it is amazing to learn why we respond the way we do and as a result live in bondage to ourselves.

I’ve known God for many years but most of the time I thought I had to do the things in life by myself. This affected my relationship to God and people. Through the training I learned that I don’t have to live life to survive, but live to win it for God’s sake. I’m able to stretch out to the call God has for my life and stretch out to people especially the people I love. Now it’s learning to serve instead of surviving.

Hello everyone, Before Breakthrough I lived life (if you can call it living) as such a defeated, in the depths of despair, victim. I was consumed by my circumstances and felt trapped and hopeless. I had been to counseling, read a ton of books, listened to excellent teaching, but still just couldn't seem to get past all the junk.

I am the same person with a different perspective on my life. The same but different. Dose'nt sound possible, huh? Well, Breakthrough was a transforming process for me. I have lived my life defined by my bad choices and traumas. Almost "ruled" by them. I struggled with loving and living with myself amist those events.
|
|
Breakthrough has changed my life. It hasn't made it easier, but it has given me hope. I got a glimpse in those four days of what COULD be and of how I was contributing to it not happening. So, it was a beginning. It was discovering things I had never seen before; about me, about my relationships, and about what was wrong.

Dear Dan & Aileen, Ennio & Dawn, Sarah, Davide: Thank you! I went through Breakthrough in April 2001 and through it I was able to see myself the way I really was, not the way I thought I was. I especially saw my pride and my selfishness and that everything was about me. It broke my heart. The realization was devastating, but repentance brought life and with forgiveness came freedom.

Dear Dan, Why did you call Breakthrough breakthough? I thought a lot about Breakthrough as I was meditating and studying a passage in Micah 2 verses 12 and 13.
|
|
The training gave me the opportunity to examine my beliefs systems- which governed my thinking and behaviors- which then allowed me to enforce the things that were working and discontinue the things that were not. The biggest benefit has shown up in my marriage- my wife and I live in intimacy and passion like never before.

It’s impacted my business in a huge way. |
