Testimonials

“Jerry and Denise Basel are amazingly gifted and called into the difficult area of spiritual open-heart surgery!  My husband and I speak from experience when we say they are worth any amount of time, energy, and investment--IF you are interested in change, that is!  Don't bother if you are not looking to be introduced to yourself.  My husband and I worked independently with them and also as a couple.  We have a great marriage, with a lot of history together, but there were things between us that we never understood until our meetings together.  God used the Basels to uncover our secrets and set us free from years of ineffective communication.  Life is too short to waste it on masked communication--whether it is intentionally masked or subconsciously masked--either way it is robbing you of all that God has for you.  We have been in ministry for over 20 years now, and give 150% of ourselves to others in many vulnerable ways, and we have more to offer now than ever before.  We have them on retainer, and will do regular maintenance as needed.  We suggest you do the same.”

“I call Jerry and Denise Basel friends and they have touched my heart in such a way that I can grow, fall down and safely get back up again and laugh and cry.  They bring forth encouragement and love.  Their continuing tenacity to rest in the Fathers heart in difficult circumstances brings the rest of us along with them in that journey, and we receive a greater experience of ourselves and our Lord’s life as a result.  The Father's Heart Ministry is not just a ministry, as many traditionally think of ministries, perhaps, but it is about worship, equipping and healing the brokenhearted and setting the captives free.  This is not just something they do but who they have become and its His fragrance in them that gives life.”

 “Jerry and Denise took the time to really counsel, pray, press in to get to root issues, and it changed my life.  They didn't give up.  They worked, gave direction, support, and affirmation.  In scary situations they stood strong with me.  They never turned their back on me.  They, indeed, exemplify true “Spiritual Fathering and Mothering.”  They love the Lord, are welcoming, have sweet spirits, have a gift of teaching and nurturing, and praying and pressing.  They are always seeking God's will and He is totally pleased with them.”

 “I came to the Father's Heart Ministry last year for counseling.  I had a list of issues that I knew I needed to deal with and a whole other list that I wasn't even aware of.  Jerry and Denise helped me to see that so much of the pain I was in was due to the pain I had ignored throughout the many years before.  I was 33 years old, I had been walking with the Lord for 14 years, and I was numb.  Over those 33 years, I had learned how to "protect" myself from experiencing pain.  What I never realized is that "protecting" myself, shutting down my heart and preventing myself from grieving losses in my life, only served to prevent me from experiencing life.  They walked me through a very painful journey--one I am so very thankful for.  Through their leadership and their extreme sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit, they helped me to become aware of the numerous defense mechanisms that I had built up over a lifetime.  As I allowed God into those areas and began to tear those defenses down, I found life and peace.  In addition, and most importantly, I was able to see God's hand in my life and how He had been trying to get to my heart for years.  I learned that the problem with putting walls up to prevent yourself from feeling pain, is that it also prevents you from feeling at all--and it prevents the Lord from getting to the one thing He is after--your heart.  God was so gracious to lead me to this wonderful couple.  The ministry that He poured into them was absolutely life changing for me.”

 “When I began counseling with The Father’s Heart Ministry, I was a Christian but I did not know the Father or of His intense love for me, His daughter.  Through unconditional love, compassion and patience....a literal demonstration of the Father's Heart....Jerry and Denise walked along side of me and led me back to the Him....My Father.   (Malachi 4:6 – ‘He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers. . .’)”

“We truly appreciated the quality time that we spent with Jerry and Denise.  Since we have been married, we have encountered experiences that have negatively defined our marriage.  Now, with the help of The Fathers Heart Ministry and the Lord, we have a renewed perspective on our marriage and are very optimistic in taking our marriage from glory to glory.  Our relationship has been dramatically transformed by their impartation, objectivity, honesty, prayers, and wisdom.  We would highly recommend couples to invest a portion of their life with The Fathers Heart Ministry, no matter how insurmountable or good things may seem.”

 “I had the privilege of receiving ministry through The Fathers Heart Ministry in a very pivotal time in my life. Though I am not currently through this leg of the journey in my life, God has used Jerry and Denise to help unlock some things that are bringing freedom in my life that has transcended my relationship with Christ, God my father, and others I come in contact with daily. I am grateful for their ministry, and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking guidance and healing in their life.

 “I often tell people that God used Jerry and Denise Basel to save our marriage.  I believe with all my heart that this is true.  Their compassion creates a safe environment.  In the midst of a crisis, it is a relief to have caring people to pray and help focus your eyes on Jesus.  This kind of compassion is the only way to survive hard, painful circumstances that force us to examine our lives.  Their ability to bypass the symptoms and go to the root of the problem is a God given gift.  Being a husband/wife team is an ideal situation for marriage counseling.  Meeting together as a couple regularly and spending significant time individually is a unique feature of their ministry that is critical to the work they do.  I can say healing flows from their biblically-based counseling ministry. Our happy marriage is proof.”
