“The greatest blessing I received from Tres Dias was freedom. Sometimes in the world, we live in spiritual bondage — the world puts chains on us that we don’t even realize are there. Through the prayers of the community and the incredible love from everyone on the weekend, that bondage was broken and I felt spiritually free. That freedom made me want to love and serve God even more. For me personally, it was a truly liberating weekend that has moved me from a worldly focus to more of a kingdom focus.”
Karin Klinger – Lehigh Valley Tres Dias #6
“My Tres Dias weekend made a huge impact on me. I always believed in Christ, but before my weekend, I seemed to take for granted what He did for me. Listening to the talks and experiencing God’s love on the weekend made the whole experience come together for me. It was a pivotal weekend in my life where my faith became a conscious choice, more of a priority to me. I’ve changed. I now see how God has influenced every aspect of my life and is constantly at work in everything I do. Tres Dias made me realize the importance of reprioritizing my life to consciously choose to put Christ at the core of everything I think, say and do.”
Jim Makovetz – Lehigh Valley Tres Dias #3
“Tres Dias is a very important part of my life. I came to my weekend heart broken as I had just gone through a divorce. I had been married for 30 years and had six children. I have been blessed by a wonderful childhood, the best parents, brother and 4 sisters, and the most loving and thoughtful children and grandchildren. I knew I was loved. However, I felt the love of Jesus in a way I had never experienced before. I felt His love through perfect strangers. Now many of those strangers have become dear friends. They helped me to heal and now I so enjoy every weekend I get to serve God and show His love to new perfect strangers. Tres Dias is a true blessing to me and I thank God I said yes to my weekend.”
Kate Cornell – Lehigh Valley Tres Dias #6
“God richly blessed me during my weekend. The talks and small group discussions truly opened my eyes to the unfailing love of God. I could see the changes possible in lives touched by that love. The testimonies, given by ordinary people like me, to what Christ can do through His redeeming grace inspired me and helped me see that I, too, could find a deeper relationship with Him. It was through my becoming a part of LVTD and serving on teams that I could, once again, participate in events which helped me privately — before God — confront and let go of the guilt caused by a past sin. I could finally accept God’s forgiveness. It broke the chains that I didn’t even realize had such a strong hold on me, and once broken, I now have a deeper sense of the peace that surpasses all understanding.”
Lorraine Roberts – Lehigh Valley Tres Dias #1
“Tres Dias changed my life and my spiritual focus. Not only am I closer to God than I’ve ever been, I’m also much more focused on caring for others in my church and community. It’s the difference between sitting on the sidelines of Christian service and jumping in to really be the hands and feet of Christ. Tres Dias has helped me develop more of a servant’s heart, and that has translated to more active involvement in the leadership and programs at my church, as well as a more Christ-like focus in my home and family.”
Mark Miller – Lehigh Valley Tres Dias #1
“My experience at Tres Dias made my relationship with Christ much stronger and more meaningful. It also helped my relationships with others blossom. The kindness of everyone on my weekend made me more comfortable with people than I’ve been most of my life. Now, I volunteer at church regularly and really enjoy serving others whenever/however I can.”
Deanna Steich – Lehigh Valley Tres Dias #1
“My Tres Dias weekend was the beginning of my Christian life as it is today. After my husband died, I was afraid of facing the future. But God took control and guided me back to my Church and ultimately to Tres Dias. Every weekend is unique and God chooses each person who attends for a specific reason. Lives are touched and changed by the experience. I am now more active in my Church and also supported by my Christian friends from the Tres Dias community who bring joy into my life. God continues to bless me with a quiet mind and a peaceful heart.”
Jean Coughlin – Susquehanna Valley Tres Dias #39
“When I made my original weekend back in 1982, I was so shy and quiet that I barely spoke to anyone. I was so afraid that I would be asked to speak in front of people, and that was terrifying to me. It wasn’t until a year later when I served on my first team that I began to feel more comfortable with myself and my relationship to others. Tres Dias taught me that God loves me for who I am and not for what I can do or not do. I’m grateful for the way Tres Dias impacted my life. I now have many friends through this community and the confidence in myself to pray out loud and talk in front of people.”
Roseanne Acevedo – Tres Dias of Northern New Jersey #22
“Tres Dias taught me that I am incredibly blessed and that there is so much joy to be found in serving. My experience on the weekend deepened the richness of my relationship with Jesus Christ, and that has inspired me to serve extensively at my church. Serving at church and within the Tres Dias community has brought a joy into my life that, frankly, is hard to describe. It is so deep that I feel a comfort every day, which I know is directly from Jesus Christ. I know that no matter what I’ve been through and what I still have to experience, He planned all of this just for me. He will always be right here with me, as He always has been. As a result of my Tres Dias experience, I’ve learned how to be fully aware of His presence and blessings.”
