What Others Say about John and Judy and Christview Ministries
About how Christview Ministries helps in Serving Christ
"We are serving the Lord by walking in faith to fulfill a dream God put on our hearts to grow food for God’s people. We connected with Christview Ministries while we were in Eureka Springs to learn about organic gardening. From the first day we met John and Judy, they listened to our hearts and helped us grow spiritually. We have never before experienced such prayer and support! They also help us in practical ways to see options and take steps to move forward. They were God’s messengers to tell us not to give up! "
Rick and Karen Duggan, Farmers and Teachers, "The Shepherd's Garden" Model Farm, near Overbrook, Kansas
About what a person experiences at Christview
"I have been to group studies at Christview—and also to private spiritual direction and inner healing prayer sessions. John and Judy are compassionate, gentle, and thorough in determining the root causes of long-standing problems—helping a person to correct unhealthy thought patterns and emotional blockages, clearing the way for more abundant life. Christview is a wonderful retreat center. Going there for a session is like stepping through the wardrobe and getting a taste of a better reality."
Jody Stephenson, Artist and Writer, Eureka Springs, Arkansas
About spiritual retreats at Christview
"My personal mission statement is, 'Empowered by faith, I empower others, all for the Glory of God.' In order for me to follow these words, it is vital for me to stay spiritually strong. Along with daily personal time with the Lord, one of the most helpful things I do is to plan for additional time away with the Lord. I love going to Christview Ministries to experience solitude with Him. Judy and I have grown in our friendship, and she is a treasured spiritual mentor. Each time I have taken this special time to be with the Lord, He has blest it richly, and my walk with Him grows more intimate. When I am faced with important decisions or needing wisdom to help me grow through trying times, I have found that Christview is an excellent place for me to experience rest, healing, and renewal. I am so thankful for John and Judy and their ministry at Christview and I highly recommend it to others."
Cindy Harness, Senior Sales Director, Harrison, Arkansas
About John and Judy
“This is what I have been looking for: mature, experienced ministers to help me develop my leadership without imposing their own denominational or doctrinal agendas on me. I am exploring different models for sermon preparation, and, at the same time, learning to develop my own style as a preacher.
“Judy urges me to begin from my own careful reading of a Bible passage, listening to the Spirit’s leading as to what message from it is most important for the congregation to hear.
"John guides me to study tools I can use to make sure that my message is on track with what God is saying through the passage. Based on the study, I can then add to or adjust my original message.
“John and Judy help me achieve a balance of Bible teaching, spiritual enrichment, practical application, and presentation of the saving gospel. As I deliver the sermon, they encourage me to be myself and to let the Spirit guide me.”
Scott Frame, mechanic at Tyson's, developing preacher, Berryville, AR
About John
“I came to John with these questions: ‘Who was Jesus Christ really? How do the scriptures reveal this? How do the gifts Christ brought to all humankind enter into my life?’ John is qualified to answer the questions. He is teaching me the solid biblical content I was seeking. But, more importantly, he takes a quiet, gentle, reflective, mentoring approach. He listens to me and adjusts his teaching to my needs. He is interested in my developing my own ability to read and interpret the scriptures. My study each week is an exciting and eye-opening adventure!”

About John
“John Turner introduces five approaches to Bible study. Understanding these five approaches provides options for more effectively presenting Bible truths to people with different learning styles and for different purposes. I found it absolutely fascinating and exciting. I thank God for the opportunity John Turner provides for deep, methodical, clear, challenging, sound biblical teaching. This is something I have longed for my entire life.”
