Feedback from our TREASURE Weekend Away in June 2019
Our fifteen-year-old young leader sent us this text before the event:
“I love being a part of the amazing things you do for families so I don’t mind giving my time up at all. I want to thank you for the wonderful opportunity you have given me to help as a young leader at treasure.
“I can’t wait for the next treasure in the summer and I’m certain it will be a spectacular weekend (as it always is) spreading the message of love and having a calm weekend for families.”
His Mum then sent us:
“Have an amazing weekend! You all are so fantastic and create such positive, life changing opportunities. You put in so much time and effort â my son loves being a part of it all.”
Feedback from the families included the following:
“It was unexpected how much I felt loved and supported by everyoneâ
âTreasure has been so good for my son and me â healing with support and love from strangers who now feel like familyâ
âThere is a real sense of release and freedomâ
âIt has been lovely connecting with everyone and has really helped my Mum to be so much more open and happy.â
âYour love and care for all of us has been amazingâ
âTreasure has helped show me how things have moved on for my son and meâ
âYou are good friendsâ
A Mum said, âItâs been so relaxing, not having to do any choresâ
One of our Team told us when we met with her a month after the event, âThe theme this Treasure has been particularly helpful to me. Every day I have been reminded that âLove is always thereââ

âFolks ask me about my time at the TREASURE Weekend; I have told them that, for me, it was the happiest, most wonderful experience of my life, witnessing such harmony with families interacting with each otherâ
âThank youâŚit was lovely to have time together as a family â just to be and to enjoy each other with no pressure from a âto doâ list. At the end of the weekend my husband said to me, âDo you realise, weâve had a whole weekend without having to say, âHurry upâ!ââ
âThank you so much for inviting us on such an amazing experience. It truly has been one of the most beautiful and enriching times in our livesâ
“Thank you both for getting us all away and giving us such a wonderful time together as a family”

âWords cannot express our gratitude; we have been so blessed by the TREASURE Weekend”
âDuring and following on TREASURE, all our faith has again been awakenedâ
âI was in a very dark place and alone, since then Iâve had so many people there for us⌠it all started with you two inviting us to TREASURE when we were literally alone in the world, Iâll never forget your kindnessâ
âThis is the sort of weekend where you make life-long friendsâ

Another Mum told us it wasnât until last Juneâs TREASURE that she fully understood that God really loved her. That perfect love has transformed her and her son.
She told us, âI have felt loved and accepted, part of a family. I love how open I felt and I just felt really specialâ
âWe feel lifted and loved. It was perfectâ
âI felt a lot more peaceful away from everything thatâs going on at homeâ
Beccy was recommended to phone a potential new Mum. âI began to describe TREASURE and she burst into tears⌠so grateful to be invited, so desperate to be touched by God⌠I prayed with her. There are so many more Mums out there like her, desperate to know theyâre lovedâ
