Testimonies for the 2022 Avila Summit

"The Summit was way more than just fruitful for me - it brought me to some kind of re-awakening in my faith. I have been talking about it with many other people. It has become a vehicle for me to have discussions with people about faith, God, the afterlife. Y’all did a great job!" ~ Judy

"The Summit, a precious treasure. Thank you for all your sacrifices to unite & educate us with so many holy souls." ~ Donna
