Comments of the Pastors and Missionaries who attended the First Missionary Retreat on July 14-16, 2006:
"I had been blessed through fellowship, testimonies and prayers. Above all to God be the Glory. Meeting and seeing you renewed our friendship because of God's love and faithfulness that binds us together. Looking forward for next year if God willing. Prov.16:3"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm blessed....It's an opportunity to deepen my relationship with my Lord and fellow ministers, experience another/different kind of spiritual upliftment for the ministry, share the blessings and joy from the Chaldean family and their kind-hearted partners in ministry of supporting ministers and more visions through our gathering!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I had been blessed with family atmosphere, care and love, gained new friends, testimonies heard and this is a rare experience"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I was excited joining this weekend retreat and felt the joy of the Lord. I was really impressed of this unique retreat. I was very much blessed of God's wonderful love and His care for us. My three days stay here made me relax, refreshed and was blessed by the Lord. Thank you, thank you very much. This is the first time that I experienced this wonderful and joyous weekend retreat. God bless and more power. I am praying that this will continue next year."

"Salamat gid sang special invitation exclusive gid para sa amon nga Pastors kag Missioneras. Kon ano man ang gina agum nakon karon tungod sang blessing sang Ginoo sa inyo, your faithfulness to the Lord. Thank you for the ministry your home started and may God bless you and the whole family. Continue the good work you have started." (Thank you very much for the special invitation exclusive just for us Pastors and Missionaries. Whatever blessings I have, it's because of God's blessings to you,...)

"I'm blessed and it adds more enthusiasm in my ministry by attending this retreat. Thank you and more praises to the Lord Jesus Christ. Continue serving the Lord and I'll continue to pray for THOTW to continue and be an example to those who are serving the Lord." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Na bless gid ako sa sining nahimo naton sa sulod sang tatlo ka adlaw. Salamat sang mga blessings nga inyo naagum kag ginpaambit man sa amon. God bless you and more power. Wonderful experience." (I was really blessed with what we did for three days. Thank you for the blessings that you have and shared with us.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Nagapasalamat ako sa Ginoo tungod sang inyo mabinuganaon nga paghigugma sa akon paagi sa madamo nga bugay nga naagum nakon tungod sang pagpakamaayo sang Ginoo. Ang Dios magbantay sa inyo tanan." (I thank God for your love and the gifts that I received because of God's blessings. God be with you all.)
