The Beauty of Transparency

"Back to the Garden was amazing from the organizational process and the spiritual genuineness from the organizers, speakers, worship etc. However, a friend of mine attended the event on Friday evening only and didn’t return for the Saturday and shared her experience with me. She mentioned that she genuinely enjoyed being there and could clearly sense that God’s presence was in the room. She went in expectant and appreciated the heart behind the prayer night and Jackie’s message. Although, she also left feeling quite overwhelmed. She’s originally from Zambia and found it a bit difficult to follow along with the language during worship. Because of that, she wasn’t always sure what she was coming into agreement with while singing — and as someone who values authentic encounters with God, she didn’t want to simply go through the motions. She also became aware of some challenges around accessibility and inclusion, especially for people who might not understand the main language used. Things like the sound levels and the pacing of the lyrics stood out to her as areas that might have made it harder to stay present. She still spoke highly of the atmosphere and the evident move of God, but her reflections highlighted how thoughtful inclusion could make future gatherings even more meaningful for a wider range of people. Moreover, I felt the event leaned heavily on their authenticity more than efficiency in terms of running behind time, seats being double booked and lack of more signage for registration and general orientation of the church. There should be a balance. Looking forward to next year’s event! "

"Oh my word, what an event. Everything that was promised was delivered and more! Tiisetso really outdid herself with this one. Theological sound speakers. Catering for both genders well. All encompassing topics and discussions. Amazing worship and word and POETRY!!!!. Amazing crowd, like-minded, lovers of Christ and BEAUTIFUL. I have never felt more seen and more belonging in a room. I felt like the event was curated especially for me. I love that the food stalls catered for all price brackets. Tasty food! Helpful staff and very fun team. Clean bathrooms and toilet paper and towel never ran out! The thing however i was confused about was that the email with tickets stated event starts at 17:00 pm 17th October-18th October 18pm, which read as either an all night and day event from Friday right through to Saturday or on Saturday the event will start at 18:00 pm. Overall experience was 100%. i absolutely cant wait for next year's event."

"It was perfect. Lovely Venue, lovely host and it was professionally and spiritually done. "

"It was my first time attending. The event was amazing and the speakers were anointed and so much wisdom was imparted to me. To aus Tisetso, honestly I pray that God will expand your territory. I can’t wait for next year."

"God bless you all ! Speakers and organizers. May the Lord reward your obedience . It was an absolutely spirit refreshing conference!! Thank you ??. "
