FROM SHAME TO HONOR: MY JOURNEY INTO SONSHIP
By Peter Jackson
In 1983 I had a moment that changed my life forever. In a vision I saw
myself waking up in a cabin that I used to dream about going to with my
Dad. It was hunting and fishing paradise in the Canadian Rockies, a few
hours drive from where I grew up. My dad had promised to take me there
for my 12th birthday, but at the last minute, he cancelled. He was a very
successful businessman who was also an alcoholic and a workaholic before
he became a Christian and didn't realize how important it was to
me to be able to spend time with him. So, at that moment when I was 12,
I made the decision that I would never believe his word again. As far
as I was concerned, I didn't need a father anyway......... 
TESTIMONY
I came thinking I was trapped in a bubble of loneliness that was forever my fate and was too ashamed to allow others in (especially those who I love the most) Thanks to the honesty of Peter and Heather I found a safe place to break out of the bubble and come into a wide open space of honesty myself, where I experienced the Father's approval, acceptance and love, despite myself!! Now my relationships with those around me have dramatically changed as has my relationship with God - who I now know loves me whether I take a nap or raise the dead! I have Jesus' report card that says accepted, accepted accepted! The revelation of God being a Father to me still seems too good to be true!!! It's like He is allowing me to believe and experience His fathering at my own pace rather that forcing himself on me. What I thought would be a few "ministry sessions" has turned out to be a journey of fifteeen years and the healing keeps on coming. God has begun a deep healing in me. I have been released into a whole new level of worship. The image that sums up the experience is walking hand in hand with my Heavenly Father along a beautiful beach. I am a little girl and He picks me up in His arms and swings me around to my great delight. I have really come to love and accept myself as His precious child.
RECENT TESTIMONY FROM AN ENCOUNTER WEEK IN ENGLAND
"Spending time with Peter and Heather Jackson has completely transformed my relationship with God. I started out with a passion and desperation to find out more about this God that I was supposed to call Father. I was happy as Jesus as my healer and friend but God - well he was distant and ruled with an iron rod. Through the teaching and impartation of Peter and Heather I was blasted by how much God loves me as his son and that he actually likes me just the way i am. The Holy Spirit poured in the love of the Father into my heart and the years of pain, bitterness, judgments and lack of self worth came flooding out. It's changed my life."
