Here are just a few of the wonderful letters we've received through the years for the Nicholas Love Cruise.....

Thank you for a fantastic time! Looking forward to partnering with you in the future!!   Glory Christian Ctr...Bridgeton, NJ
 

Phil & Brenda,

Ours was many of the relationships that will, THANKFULLY, never be the same.  May God continue to plant the seeds that will grow into fruit as a testimony for others to see.  David & Melody Olson.....Orlando, FL
 

Phil & Brenda,

 Wow, what a time we had sharing music, fellowship, food and Word on the cruise.  We are already gearing up for next year.  Couples are asking and we are telling.  I believe the next cruise will be off the hook! 

 Check out the pics from the big event.  I will be sending groups of pics for you to take a look at.  You guys are awesome.  Thanks for the memories!  “home boy”!  You representing BIG!  Tell Maurice & Rita and also John and Jude we said hi.

 Wink & Ann…….Pittsburgh, PA

 Oh yeah, don’t call me Wendall……..that’s my “in trouble” name when Mom calls me.

 God Bless

 Talk to you soon….  The young lady wiping her eyes during our little celebration of what God has done in our lives ”Oh Happy Day”.  She wept as we sang God’s praises.
 

Renee and I want to thank you both for all you have done for us. Our marriage was pretty good before the cruise, but you helped us increase our love for each other...  We've been on routine cruises before, but we can't imagine going on any other cruises, except with you.  We're praying for the Nicholas Love Cruises!! ...   Dr. WIlliam Souto, IA

I just want to encourage you and tell you that your cruises are so much appreciated.  Our young son after hearing how much the cruise blessed us said, "Mommy, I hope the cruise is still going in 2026, because I want to take my wife too!"  What a blessing! .....The Gatlins, VA

After attending the cruise, we were so excited that while still riding on the bus back to the airport, we called my old service buddy and told him, "You and your wife are going on this cruise next year! - Wow!" .....Cecil & Tiffany Bowman, CA

Our Dearest Phil and Brenda:

 We really do not know where to begin. We’ll try to make our accolades brief yet piercing.  This balance is quite difficult when there is sooo much to report.  Needless to say, the life changing experience of the Love Cruise remains priceless.  From it, we have entered into a greater dimension of romance, internationality and impartation.

 Two specific definitions/statements (shared through Dr. Myles) have revamped our perspective and practice:

    -Care- to anticipate another’s needs and meet it before the need arises

    -Love-, without reasons attached….is truly unconditional.

From these two definitions alone, we’ve experienced a new found freedom to show love without boundaries.  How liberating and fulfilling.

 Truth be told, we were very excited and expectant to go on the cruise.  The greater truth is in this:  WE HAD NO EARTHLY IDEA OUR MARRIAGE WOULD BE BORN AGAIN!  Through the teaching we were taken down to ground zero and reformed all over and in every area.  Who knew we could go higher…but the Lord?!

 Since our time on the cruise, we’ve co-taught the Young Marrieds ministry on the topicof  “The Christian Bedroom”   We’ve counseled and coordinated a wedding, sharing many of the transforming golden nuggets from the cruise.   IT’S ONLY BEEN ONE WEEK!

 Thank you for giving tirelessly with every desire to truly restore God’s plan of “til death do us part” for marriages.  You are directly responsible for who we are today and for whom God has called us to be in the tomorrows ahead.

 We are overjoyed with praise, thanksgiving and honor….to you!!

Thank you for saying “Yes” to His will and not relenting.  We declare the work of your heart and hands to produces extreme favor, prosperity and above all peace in your lives and for others.

 With you, we have our hand to the love plow and we’re not looking back!

 All our Joy and Love in Jesus’ Name!

 Your Sister and Brother in Him,

Pastors Marcus & LaTerra Ruffin.....CA
