Testimonies
"Bev and Lew (with the Lord's help) took me through five days of debriefing, uncovering many of the rejection issues that have dominated all of my life. It was good to come to the realisation that most of these rejection incidents were not of my own making, they were all part of the Lord's plan for me. He has used them to mould and shape me, to equip me for future ministry opportunities."

'Exiting a horribly unjust ministry situation, this oasis of whole-of-life reflection was invaluable.'

"My debriefing sessions with Lew and Bev helped me considerably with the process of transitioning from missionary in a third world country to life back in the first world. Their insights, experience, and non-judgement manner made me very comfortable to share personal thoughts and feelings. The time spent with them, and also quiet time by myself during the afternoon, allowed me the space and environment to deeply reflect and gain new understandings about how my past experiences had shaped me. Lew and Bev's positive encouragement and gentle guidance has given me the strength and confidence to move fully forward into the next chapter of my life."

"I returned to New Zealand on home leave from a country which has experienced a lot of turmoil and conflict in the past 3 years. I was exhausted, drained, and overwhelmed by both my role there and the context I was living. Debriefing with Lew and Bev helped me to gain perspective and clarity, to feel more peaceful in myself, and to talk through all that had happened.

"As my wife and I were considering some life changes, we sought out some people to help us review our past so we could better plan our future.
Lew and Bev ran a Debriefing week for us from their home in Feilding. My wife and I found the time very beneficial with helpful discussions and exercises to reflect on, to learn from our past. Bev and Lew are lovely people and great hosts and discussion guides. If you're looking for time out to consider a new direction, we highly recommend Lew and Bev."

We spent five days debriefing with Bev and Lew after some years overseas.
Listening to each other as we told our stories and thinking through the stresses we have been through was healing and restorative.
Bev and Lew's gentle and accepting style encouraged us to be still and look at the deeper issues beneath surface conflicts without any feeling of pressure or compulsion. As a result of this time we feel we have done business with God and our relationship with each other has been strengthened. We are better equipped to return to our challenging location.

"I had the pleasure of connecting with Lew and Bev in the hopes of utilizing their skills in debrief and guidance for a frontline
worker. I was impressed and touched by the care and commitment they showed while they allowed me to ask them a range of
questions about their ministry and background.
Lew and Bev's commitment and heart for ministry workers was obvious and I felt confident entrusting them with a referral.
I was not let down!
I would encourage others to consider utilizing the services of at Room with a View as I would not hesitate to recommend them again."
