Dear Bonnie,

 I just want to express my complete gratitutude for all that you taught and shared
 with us in Swaziland.

 I attended the course on trauma therapy hoping that I could gain insight into how I
 could better ministry to the children here, and I left gaining not only that but so
 much more for me personally.  In understanding myself it's created healing in many
 areas of my own life.

 Many of us workers have gone through major trauma ourselves and the healing that
 we received was incredible.  Because of this, I feel that the way we all will respond
 to the children will be different and we are also now equipped to be a vessel for
 their healing which will empower them to lead the lives that God has for them.

 Thank you for the counseling you gave so many people here, I know that many
 bondages were broken, a new freedom has been felt by many.  Thank you for the
 insight you shared about how we can help our orphaned children more, it really
 opened my eyes to why our respond the way they do and practical ways in which we
 can help them.  Many of the foster mums have stated that they see the children with
 new eyes.

 Thank you for spending all day every day pouring yourself out in helping us all.  You
 will never know what a huge impact you have had here.  I pray that God will make a
 way for you to come back and share more of your incredible gift, and I pray that
 many people around the world wil experience what you have given us here.  You are
 an awesome blessing.

 Love,

 To the Supportors of Jewels 4 God Professional Counseling Services,

 May God bless you.  Thank you so much for supporting Bonnie in her work.  I have
 been so blessed by her teaching and ministry.  I had been keeping a secret for
 many years something that happened to me that was very traumatic.  I thought I
 could deal with it myself and that I had put it all in the past.  When Bonnie
 shared how people react differently to trauma I knew that I had to tell my story to
 someone.

 I had not told anyone and was very scared to tell Bonnie but I knew in my heart that
 it was the best thing to do, and so I told her what had happened and how it affected
 me.

 I praise God and give Him all the glory for sending Bonnie here.  God knew that I
 would be serving Him in Swaziland (I am from England) and he knew that Bonnie would
 come to minister here, not just to the Swazis, but also to me.  So I thank you from
 the bottom of my heart for your giving and support for Bonnie and know that you will
 be blessed in your giving because it is bearing fruit.

 I am a changed person and thank God that I can now put what happened to me in the
 past.  Now I will be able to effectively help others through my own experience.

 Bless You and Thank You,
 Liz

 
 Dear Bonnie,

 Tears, lies, acusations, theft...our house was very painful.  All of this left me broken
 and battered.  But God is good and I am so grateful for the perspective you have
 taught me to have and the tools you have given me.  Thank you for opening my eyes.

 Regards,
 Guilhermina Reid
