What are pastors and other church leaders saying about the Retool Kit?

I have come to the realization that all the time put in over the last two years with the vision team has truly been ground breaking for our church…

…[this] would be a good resource for other African-American churches who are wondering if the material is transferable to their setting…

-Pastor/Coach

“When we were considering this I was skeptical because I through it was going to take a couple of years before we started to see any changes. But already after the first retreat we’ve had some great results. The action points are being implemented and having a positive effect…The leaders are also pulling together and functioning more as a team. Praise God!”

Our retreat #2 was truly amazing.  God really worked in the hearts of the church’s Vision Team.  They are seriously considering taking a break from the pathway to investigate the history of the church using “Healing the Heart of Your Church” to see if there is unfinished business that needs to be addressed.  Their hunch is that there is a lot of stuff that has never been resolved….

-Coach’s Comments

As [my wife] and I met last week I have come to the realization that all the time that has been put in over the last two years with the vision team has truly been ground breaking for [our church]. I often wondered when we were going to see the fruits of our labor (being the impatient man that I am) and I believe that now we are seeing that. As we have talked to people about what has been going on I truly believe that new trails are being blazed in this church and for that I am excited and feel a great sense of renewal in my spirit. Keep it up…YEA GOD!!!

I’m excited in restarting our church using the retool process. The church I’m leading has been on the decline. God is showing me how to refocus the faith community to growth again…
