The school has helped to change the lives of many people. Here are what some of them have to say.
Mitzi, U.S.A.
For the past few years I began to feel that there must be more to the Christian life than mediocrity – or else, what’s the point? I didn’t feel the joy, peace, kindness that I had always heard preached about but I didn’t feel like I could tell people how I felt because I looked like I had it all together. I was in leadership. I was responsible for the impression my Christian experience made on the people I led. I had talked about “hearing from God” but if pressed I’m not sure I could have actually spoken of a specific time that I had heard from Him.
I came to the Lost Glory school partly out of desperation – a last ditch effort to go deeper with God. Early on in the school, I realized that there were many things that I have known with my head but not with my spirit. I believed in the Holy Spirit but I was kind of vague on the details of what He did. In fact I would have said I was vague on the details of what “it” did, that Holy Spirit “thing”.
At the school, I met the Holy Spirit. I experienced the Holy Spirit. I experienced him as a comforter, intercessor, and strengthener. I learned the reality of what God’s grace is and the gigantic role it should play in my life. And that’s the secret of the Lost Glory School –they allow the Holy Spirit to do the work! The Holy Spirit heals, speaks, teaches, corrects, convicts!!
I have learned that there’s a huge difference between your pastor or Sunday school teacher telling you that Jesus loves you and having Jesus find you where you’ve been hiding, look you in the eye and say “I love you.”
Since being here, God has shown me how he sees me and I’ve learned to trust him and believe in my spirit that he only ever speaks the truth and what that really means.
HE SAYS I HAVE A PURPOSE, THEREFORE I DO!
HE SAYS I AM LOVED, I AM WORTHY AND RIGHTEOUS, THEREFORE I AM!
HE SAYS I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM, THEREFORE I CAN!
I can now say, “My name is Mitzi, Karen Ruth Wilson. My name means “pure, beloved, faithful friend”. And my God-given purpose is to teach people about the extreme love of God through grace, friendship, laughter and joy!
Thank you Lost Glory for introducing me to my destiny and the God that not only prepared it for me long ago but says to me, when I’m running towards it with arms open -“That’s my girl!”
Robbie, U.S.A.
I have experienced a lot of rejection in my life revolving around generational sin, lawlessness and my own immoral lifestyle prior to salvation. Even the church made me feel like a spiritual leper. The Lost Glory School has offered an environment of love, acceptance and encouragement that has enabled me to feel safe enough to be myself and allow God to do a much deeper work of healing and transformation of my inner man.Although I have been practicing some of the things that they teach for some time now, my attendance on this school has made it possible to achieve higher levels of spiritual maturity and to develop deeper intimacy with God our Father through Jesus Christ. It is obvious that the teachers and staff are gifted, called and chosen to provide an
anointed atmosphere of growth for Holy Spirit-led leaders and worshipers
in spirit and truth.
Carolina, U.S.A.
Before I came to the school, I didn't really know who I was. I knew what other people had thought about me, what prophets had said about me/thought about me. And I had based my own opinions about myself a lot on what people's opinions were about me. I did not realize this until I came to the school. It really was upsetting when God revealed this to me...and He even showed me that I did not believe in myself, nor did I believe that He believed in me...it was very humbling!!!
Now I know who I am, and what I am created to do - what my purpose / destiny is. My name is Carolina Ana Rovirosa Marrelli. My name means "song of joy", "full of praise", "gracious" and "gracious gift of God". I am called to lead others into restoration and healing through music and worship, and not necessarily in the church. And I am called to help others find their destiny and purpose in the Lord as well.
Rachel, U.S.A.
I came to the Lost Glory school carrying a lot of baggage with the wrong belief that my past sins kept me from being close to God. Even though my head knew Jesus' sacrifice covered my sins, my heart couldn't believe it to be true resulting in an avoidance to face Jesus as myself.
One morning, we had worship where the Holy Spirit's presence was very evident. Prophetic worship broke out and one of the leaders randomly started singing a line from a song I already wrote based on a scripture Dave Markee gave the group to memorize. The line was, "to stand face to face, looking eye to eye" and I then realized I had written a line in my song that I truly didn't believe.
Pat (one of the pastors of the school) made the statement earlier in the school that if you're a songwriter, you don't just write your songs, you live out your songs. I had a picture at that moment that I was crawling through the dirt towards Jesus' feet like Mary Magdalene in the movie, The Passion. I grabbed onto His feet, then the scene changed where I was still holding onto His feet, but He was now hanging on the cross, blood was pouring down covering me and He looked down at me. Suddenly, He was off the cross standing before me looking me in the eye. I was undone because at that moment I was able to accept the fact that He died for me, and it's the greatest expression of His love.
Andrea, U.S.A.
Coming to the school, I knew God was really going to change me, but what I did not realize is that through that God could also bring freedom to my generational line.
Since I was a little girl I have wanted to see my grandparents saved, it was an "every night" prayer of mine. One afternoon on the school, I was praying through some generational prayers and thought that I was just praying for restoration for my mom to daughter relationship. Little did I know that through these prayers of forgiveness God was releasing those years of prayers I prayed as a little girl. Two days after my ministry time, my grandparents gave their hearts to Jesus.
Apparently through a church play my mom was in and my grandparents attended, they gave their hearts to the Lord...through me (my prayers), to my Mom, to my grandparents – ultimately through Jesus!!
Robert & Sheryl, U.S.A.
We went to the Summer Worship Blast thinking it was a conference about why and how to worship. It turned out to be the most peaceful and personally edifying and healing conference we had ever attended. The Summer Blast introduced us to hidden wells God placed deep within us, that we didn't know existed. We met the Lord in a new and different way and we spent time with Him talking about our hearts and His desires for us to use the gifts and talents He has placed inside us.
Each morning at the conference, as we spent personal time with the Lord, we received deep refreshing, healing, words and visions from Him. We grew deeper in our understanding of how much the Father loves us and His awesome thoughts and desires for us. The teachings were powerful as they guided us into understanding how God made us and who we are. This was just a small taste of what The Lost Glory School is like, and it was awesome!

Have you ever had a scratch you couldn’t itch? That’s how I felt about creativity. I had so many ideas for songs, artwork and business ideas – part of which was running a multi – national creative arts agency, but I lacked something to actually turn them into action. It was incredibly frustrating as I knew that God had placed a lot of ideas on my heart, yet I didn’t know what was blocking my ability to realise them. The Lost Glory School has enabled me to find out some of what was getting in the way. God showed me some fears I had and lies I have believed that held me back. On the school God showed me just how significant I am to Him. He reminded me that He created me and accepts me just as am. He showed me that I am Richard Mark. My name means Powerful Ruler and Servant of God. Can you imagine an insignificant powerful ruler? How the devil likes to twist things so we don’t believe who we really are. Through the teaching and through activities such as song writing, painting and worship leading, God worked through me to release me from fear, to show me that who I am and what I do is significant to Him. It is a process and I will continue learning and working things through, but He showed me that He will fulfil the desires He has put on my heart.

I grew up with a lot of Christian input so that I already knew a lot about God, when I came on school. I “knew” God’s character and love for me, but that knowledge never really reached my heart. On the school we took a lot of time to just meet God, for the first time in my life I allowed God to romance me without me serving him in order to receive from him. Now that I really feel loved by God, it changes my love for him, to people around me and to myself. I started to accept myself in a different way with the belief that God wanted me exactly the way He made me with all my talents and problems. I can see other people with the same eyes I see myself as well. I can also offer my life and myself much more to God because I don’t only “know” now but believe that God is in control and only wants the best for me.

The School of Worship is more of a personal journey that you take. I have been playing guitar for ten years and ended up stuck. I just could not go any further musically. It then became a great way to learn about the music industry and finally the real reason dawned on me. I needed to build my character, my standing with God, I needed to know more of who God is and what my life means. The School did it all, my music skills have improved dramatically but most importantly my character has been moulded and shaped to face the world and step out as a child of God filled with confidence. I can now proudly say that I have a wonderful intimate relationship with God that I have built over the course of the school.

When I came to school my identity was in my music. If I wasn’t able to do something good I would feel horrible about myself. The process of finding out who I am in the process on this school was very freeing. I have grown in the knowledge that I am me and am more secure with it. There is nothing I can or can’t do that will make God love me more. Before I came to the school I was the quiet type that would let others walk all over me. I hated it and would swear that it wouldn’t happen again, but it always did. On the school God brought this up to the surface in me. During prayer ministry Jesus showed me the root of this, where I had believed a lie from the enemy. The lie was broken and Jesus showed me the truth. I would love to say that I am totally free, but it is a walk to form a new habit. The aspect of having a healed heart always drew me to the school but I never could figure out how to do it. Once at school God started pointing out issues in my heart. I actually feel like I have been healed and know how to do field operations on my heart.
