Gary and Hilary Palser
Gary and Hilary have been happily married since 1982, have 3 married daughters and five precious grandchildren! They attended the 5-day Love After Marriage Intensive at Bethel in 2013. Gary retired from his work as an actuary and Chief Risk Officer for his company at the end of 2015. As part of a plan to be re-fired rather than retired they attended the Spirit Connection Training workshop in January 2016. While at Bethel they met Phil & Ginny Comstock (LAM Ambassadors) and consequently hosted the Comstocks in their home in Cape Town and at a 3.5-day LAM Intensive workshop in their church. After being approved as weekly LAM leaders they facilitated the first weekly LAM workshop in South Africa in the first half of 2017. They were further re-fired through a year at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in 2017/18. While there, they attended LAM 2, another Spirit Connection Training and the Deeper Intimacy workshop. Gary and Hilary have both received inner healing themselves. Gary grew up in a difficult family situation which caused him to build walls around his emotions. He experienced deep inner healing which brought down these walls. Without this healing, Hilary would never have married him, as she is a feeler! In addition to the Spirit Connection training through Nothing Hidden Ministries, they have also received Sozo training; Hilary has introduced and led Sozo in their church. Gary & Hilary have a calling to see marriages thrive and are very excited to see how God is using LAM and Spirit Connection to heal and restore marriages.

    The best marriage and connection experience out there by far! Physical, Emotional, Spiritual. Raw & honest love opened up for us and I thank our God for giving us the opportunity to be a part of it.

    What stood out to me the most was the authenticity and passion of the team leading the event. They genuinely care about helping people encounter God in a fresh and personal way. I was amazed at how, through guided prayer and quiet reflection, I was able to sense His gentle leading in areas of my life I hadn’t fully surrendered. It was such a freeing and uplifting experience, and it deepened my relationship with Him. The worship times were especially powerful — the atmosphere was filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit, and it felt like heaven touched earth. I found myself lost in worship, and God ministered to my heart in ways I didn’t expect. Another highlight was the small group discussions. Sharing testimonies, insights, and struggles with others brought a sense of community and encouragement that I didn’t even know I needed. I left Spirit Connection feeling renewed, empowered, and equipped to walk out my faith more boldly. It’s an experience I highly recommend to anyone longing for a deeper connection with God and a fresh outpouring of His Spirit. If you’re looking for a place to grow in your faith, be ministered to, and experience God’s presence in a real and transformative way, Spirit Connection is the place to be.

    Good evening family. The Nothing Hidden Ministries was really impactful. I particularly enjoyed and appreciated our Small group sessions. I believe that we were just handpicked by God. I really felt safe to be candid and vulnerable with my issues. I also learned effective ways to resolve Conflict. I also learned how to nail recurring/pertinent matters to the Cross (1-2-3 Skiddoo) I would highly recommend All Married couples (young &old) to attend this seminar. My Marriage is really enriched to the Maximum!

    I attended Single Life Workshop in Cape Town. It was one of the Most Life Changing experiences I have encountered. It has made me believe that I can love again and Trust God in the process for His leading and guidance. Relating to the opposite sex was no go but now I have tools to walk the journey of life to navigate relationships. Thank You for their Love opportunity to sit at the Feet of the Almighty and have Him teach me through His servants Blessings and may the Lord richly reward this Ministry beyond 🌸🌸🌸

    Love after Marriage (LAM) is amazing for all marriages! Whether you are struggling to connect, wanting to go deeper or feel like you don't know how to continue your marriage. LAM meets you where you are. We learnt so much about ourselves and our marriage; and still continue to grow closer years after completing LAM.
