Testimonies
"Imagine the shock of our entire team being kicked out by our mission organization - an organization that some of us had served with for over thirty years! But what could have been a freefall was not - we were caught in the arms of God and nurtured by the loving member care of Kevin and Gina at Twelve Springs. Each team member has received targeted, individual care and we are able to continue on now as a new 'mission' because we as the leaders feel don't have to provide everything needed by the team by ourselves. We feel confident in the member care being supplied by Twelve Springs and are already receiving new members with their help and discernment."

“I was introduced to Twelve Springs on the mission field at a time in my life when I was seeking direction for a way to stay on the field, a way to manage finances, and a way to be healthy for the benefit of those God had sent me to minister to, as well as to myself. I have known the McNellys for many years. Their caring hearts, love for God and His people, and love of people are a beacon of light to steer others to be better ministers of God's love wherever God leads us to serve. They have been a stable influence in my life throughout my journey.”

“I look forward to every meeting with the McNellys. I feel like God has anointed them with loads of wisdom and pure love to care for missionaries like me. Every time I meet with them I gain new insights and perspectives about God, life and missions. With their mentorship, I am able to be more positive, grounded and wise with my decisions. The support from Twelve Springs fuels me to continue and live victoriously on the mission field. I thank God for them.”

“Kevin & Gina at Twelve Springs were a great help to me during a season when I needed a listening ear and some accountability to help me move forward. I really appreciated their willingness to make time for me, their flexibility to accommodate my needs, and their friendly & warm personalities. I would recommend them to anyone looking for advice or counseling, or just an objective listener!”

“Thank you so much for the blessing you are in our lives. We so appreciate your encouragement and prayer! Thank you so much for the precious gift of a date-night – WOW! Those 3-hours were life-giving! May the Lord continue to bless you and may you continue to be a blessing.”

“This week I had an opportunity to speak to the mission students at RSM about the Reality of the Mission Field. One of the things that I told them was you will experience a bit of "being forgotten". It's normal for the people back home to go about their lives and the communication and connections become fewer and far between. And then this arrived! I hope they don't mind me sharing this. But my good friends at Twelve Springs know all to well the realities of the Mission Field. And they also know just the words that need to be heard to breath life into you. Thank you both so much. What might seem little to you was big to me.”

“I got your card in the mail today. :) And it reminded me that your Christmas card was here waiting for me when I got back from the states… thank you so much for sending those. It is very sweet and is an encouragement. :) Thank you again also for the kick in the pants from your last email. I have been doing better. I let myself slip out of the Word for a day or two and, man, it knocked me sideways. Thank you again so much for the card and for all your prayers and input. It's all so helpful and encouraging.”
