 Must Hear! It is a great thing that you decided to hold this training in Nyeri. I and the pastors are so blessed with your ministry and the teaching about the 43rd tribe which is so great in our community and nation. This is a “MUST HEAR” message to every born again believer. Man, we were so much blessed by the way you present your message with a lot of clarity and much research...My churches and the churches in Nyeri will never be the same again for you have touched my heart and others and encouraged us to move on with the work of ministry.
God bless you and also bless all those who support you to do what you are doing for the Body of Jesus Christ in Africa.
Rev. Charles Wachira, Nyeri |
Projected Into Heart “Les Brickman talking about the cell church is like he projected into my heart and saw the church meet back home. May God bless him for being used together with his wife to minister the Word of God here for me.” Pastor Solomon |
Re-starting Cell Groups “I was blessed about cell church. I would like to tell you that I will tell God to help me to start home cells again with impact of the Holy Spirit.” Lydia Muiruri |
 Splendid Job! “Les and Twyla Brickman did a splendid job in bringing to our attention the need to return to the New Testament model of church as Christ I believe intended. My local church, Glory Community Assembly in Rongo, is supposedly founded on the vision of community transformation through Christ working with and through assembly of believers using the cell group structure in impacting the community. I brought with me to this conference two church leaders and we are challenged to pray and adopt Strategic Cell Church approach in facilitating true fellowship and transformation in the community. Both pastors have been enthusiastically sharing their excitement like I have never seen them do before. They have been energized and encouraged to continue in ministry without reservation. They look forward to future leadership conferences and the cell church conferences by the Brickmans.” Pastor William Aludo, Rongo |
Two-Winged Church “In this conference I am so built in the message of 2-Winged Church by Les Brickman on home ministry. The ministry and vision God has called me has being so much being uplifted and envisioned to encounter every challenge and opposition for fulfillment of the vision plan knowing God’s provision will be supplied.” Pastor Mwabwale |
Wonderful! “The teaching on cell church by Brickman was wonderful.” Rev. Elijah Ngugi |
We Are Lif ers! After two sputtering attempts at transitioning our church to cell life I was fortunate to be able to attend the first module of SCMI's cell training. It was so good I asked my wife to rearrange her busy schedule so that we could attend the next two modules together. The investment helped to get us both on the same page and headed in the same direction with the same vision. The teaching and practical workshops provided the broad perspective, depth of understanding, and ministry tools crucial for a successful cell plant or transition. When I first came to module one (because of my failed attempts) I wasn't totally convinced that the cell church was "doable" in all contexts.
Now, I believe with the right values, vision, and practices cell life is doable in almost any ministry context. My wife and I are very appreciative of the support we received and the relationships we formed with Les and Twyla and the others attending the modules. I guess when it comes to cells as a way of living and ministering you could now say that now we are "Lifers"! Pastor Dave Hagni - Grace Fellowship, Rolla, Missouri

 Inspiration... Quality... Thoroughness... Biblical Integrity I was inspired to see and discover that what I knew in theory should be done can in fact be done - transition a tired old program-driven church into a vibrant body. Quality was written all over it and through and through it. Les' presentations were clear and understandable for everyone. Everything was thoughtfully presented in easily understandable terms without hyperbole or overstatement. The teaching is thorough. Most questions were well-anticipated and reflected experience which came from 'the school of hard knocks.' Yet it was not so voluminous to make it impossible to digest. This was no mere formula. The Biblical basis and roots were not merely proof-texted, but well-considered in Scriptural principles and examples. Les Brickman has lived it and teaches it. I'd say, listen to him. The benefit to your church situation is a transformation of a tired old program into a dynamic movement of the Holy Spirit.

I Have Been and Continue To Be Extremely Blessed.... I have had the distinct pleasure of taking the three cell courses with Dr. Les and Twyla Brickman. My time in class proved incredibly informative. The Lord allowed me to encounter this Spirit-filled couple at a point in my life and the life of our ministry in Kingston, where the concepts of cell life needed to be understood. Time with them allowed me to understand and to strategically plan for how our church might transition to a cell church. Admittedly, the transition process is tenuous at best, and it is not even clear that this transition is possible. However, I have been provided with very pragmatic means of determining the feasibility of transitioning our church, while gleaning some very good tools and information that is already being utilized to change our church into more of what the Lord would have us be.
Dr. Les & Twyla's personal sharing has proven invaluable to my personal walk with the Lord. Their transparency and willingness to open up to me, has had an impact probably beyond what they realize. I certainly have spoken on a few occasions to Dr. Les via telephone and gained specific direction and real discernment about where I was relative to my ministry. I applaud the efforts of the Brickman's, SCMI and Regent University for their offerings to the body of Christ.... I have been and continue to be extremely blessed by them!

 The Cell Classes Revolutionized My Ministry After years of observing 20% of the members of a local church doing 80% of the ministry I realized that our very structures were part of the problem. I became convinced that cell groups were both biblical and practical, i.e. they work! A major reason I attended seminary at Regent University was because they offered a major in cell group ministry. The cell classes taught by Dr. Brickman revolutionized my ministry! The main point he hammered into our heads is that successful cell ministry is built upon a change in values, not a change in structure.
I was challenged, broadened, and excited by what I learned from the Brickman's and would highly recommend that you take advantage of their experience and expertise in this field. My wife and I now serve as the cell ministry coordinators at our church. A little over a year ago we had no cell groups in our church and now 25% of our church is in a group. Since starting cell groups we have seen spiritual growth, a closer fellowship, and more outreach to our unsaved neighbors and friends than ever before. I'll never go back to doing church the traditional way and I'll never grow tired of thanking Les and Twyla Brickman for what they imparted into me.
