Student Testimonials

  • Amy Hudson, 2022 Student

    The Lord has used the Academy to refine and purify me in this season. He has provided a safe space for me to be covered in prayer and given me a community to learn from and be encouraged and equipped. The foundations portion has just highlighted the depth of healing the Lord had to do in my heart in order for me to be able to birth what He has called me to. It has been the most beautiful season of community and refining. The growth is immeasurable. I’m so grateful for this season, as without it, I wouldn’t be walking fully in my God given identity and calling. It has equipped me to walk unapologetically and secured my belief of who I am in Christ.

  • Timena Lealamisa, 2022 Student

    Joining the academy has been life changing for me in so many ways. Really opened my eyes and heart to the foundations of cultivating intimacy and building a relationship with God which has been missing since moving countries 3 years ago. From feeling isolated to now being part of a global community of strong and passionate faith filled sisters who are wanting to pioneer a kingdom business, ministry or movement. There is a deep sense of freedom, peace, hope and empowerment in my mind, body and spirit with every teaching, class and assignment. Has helped me find healing in letting go of past burdens and experiencing breakthrough when experiencing challenges and warfare. Our beautiful mentor Marianne carries the heart of the father and has such a powerful prophetic gift. She is passionate for women who are called to make an impact for Jesus and to build God's way. The best life decision I have ever made!

  • Keshia Ballard, 2022 Student

    I am so happy I took a leap of faith and enrolled in Her Harvest Global Academy because my life has truly been changed for the better. I came to the Academy with a fire in my heart but not knowing what it was God wanted me to birth. The Lord has been transforming my life in ways I could have never imagined. The curriculum is for a time such as this! It’s unbelievable how God has been moving during each of the monthly modules. Through journeying the foundational portion he has healed my heart, torn down strongholds, delivered me from the enemy’s lies and I have been drawn closer to him more than ever before. Now, After the first 6 months I know exactly why I was called to the academy and what God has asked to birth. I love that I am not journeying alone and that I have my sisters to walk along side of. Marianne has such a mighty heart, the way the Holy Spirit speaks through her is an absolute gift and I am so blessed and thankful for her obedience to the lord in pioneering the Academy. It is inspiring to my pioneering walk to be mentored by someone boldly living out her own.

  • Loren Wedrien, 2022 Student

    When I first heard Marianne speak about the launch of Her Harvest Global Academy, something truly stirred in my heart and at the time I didn’t quite know why but what I did know was that I was being called into join the launch year for this incredible academy. What I didn’t know at the time was that God would not only take me out of my comfort zone and change the whole trajectory of where I thought I might have been heading towards the second half of this year but alongside that, I have had nothing but support, love and encouragement right throughout my journey in the academy. I have been truly challenged, pushed yet supported throughout each and every single week that we have met online. Each week has been uplifting and so full of gold! There have definitely been weeks where I have sat and listened to teaching where I have grown so much because the Lord has reinforced teaching and given me new revelation during these weeks. Our activation assignments have gotten me onto a deeper level with the Lord and as I seek to find out exactly what’s next and as I continue to build and unfold my blueprint for where He is leading me, I am so extremely excited for what the academy still has to offer! If you are wondering whether or not you should do this like I was at the beginning of the year, can I say, just do it! Take the leap of faith, you will be challenged in far greater ways to be a better you for who God is calling you to be and there is certainly no way you will regret it! I’ve loved it so much and have been seeking the Lord about jumping in for a second year which I believe is where He is leading me and I hope to see many more of you there to join us on the journey ahead!

  • Fili Tagaloa, 2022 Student

    Oh my where to begin. I don't actually think there are enough words that are able to FULLY encapsulate (in its' entirety) just how much being a student of Her Harvest Global Academy has done for me. I have participated in many challenges before that sister Marianne has stepped out in faith to facilitate but I knew deep down when finding out about HHGA that this was what I needed to be able to grow not only in my relationship with the Father but have it be my training ground of building solid foundations for what I knew the Father was calling me to pioneer and build in the new year. Being in a safe space that allows you to be heard, to be seen and fully embraced as you journey with God really has sharpened me in more ways than I can imagine. The environment that is facilitated and how the teaching schedule has been set out is so of God, to not only be an academy that you are able to learn in but paired with the activation assignments and ministry sessions really allows you to unravel a deeper level of your relationship with the Lord. This foundation portion we are almost through has really brought about healing and deliverance (THANK YOU FATHER) and I am so grateful that I leaned in said YES to being a part of such a Kingdom focused community. This academy is equipping me to walk in my God-given authority and to live out the life I know He has purposed for me.

  • Donna Stehlin, 2022 Student

    I needed my testimony to be authentic and true so it’s taken me months to write this not because I was busy, but because I wanted to be honest to what this academy has really done for me this year. I can only now truly testify to my journey with HHGA as an experience of a lifetime. It has been an answered prayer. Firstly I give thanks to God for putting me here in this Academy under the mentorship of Principal Marianne and Michelle-Anna and the beautiful women I have come to know as my sisters and fellow students who have championed each other on since day one of this course. God knew what I needed before I knew what I needed!

    I wanted to grow spiritually, entrepreneurially and mentally this year and God lead me to Marianne through a previous mentorship program. My goal was simple, to focus on Him and truly seek His kingdom and His righteousness, believing that everything else will come. His plan was so much more. In the process I have renewed my relationship with Him, displaced an orphan heart, understood His times and seasons with such depth and laid a foundation of values and vision that gives me confidence and peace that can only be from His spirit.

    Our Father has changed the blueprint of my future and thinking from an economical small business goal to a Kingdom establishment and entrepreneurial leader. I say this to glorify Him and not to look at me as having big goals and dreams but believing it is possible because He made a way. For me, this way has been through HHGA.

    Our Father has opened doors and opportunities because I sat with Him in my assignments. It all sounds cliché – but the experience is real. All sorts of distractions in the form of health and history (issues of the past) and fighting for my faith have been prevalent this year and God continued to reveal and restore these areas that were a hinderance in my growth. I knew I was on the right track when the spiritual attack was constant. Under Marianne’s mentorship, she understood God’s assignment for her and us (as her students) and faithfully walked with us through our journey in the academy. I attended online classes, ministry sessions and activation courses and even when I couldn’t, my mentor prayed for me fervently and believed in the process that God was doing with me.

    HHGA is God-breathed and lead. This is why I can testify to the truth of what Marianne is teaching. Marianne has been nothing short of supportive. She understands that our rhythm with God was not according to deadlines of assignments or working on her schedule. She was honest and always aligned what I had shared, with the Word of God. Her teachings are without a doubt downloads from the Lord. I’m most grateful that I wasn’t rushed in this course. There was always room for me to stay on an assignment longer than everyone else until I got the fullness of what God was showing me through it. I was encouraged not to skip teachings but to keep things in order as modelled by our God of order, even if it took weeks longer. My encouragement is to believe what God says about you and walk in obedience to His call. It's so simple but so hard to hear if you’re not ready to listen. It will change your outlook, journey and life. If you need tools, HHGA has the resources and capacity to equip. God bless.

  • Angelique Marichev, 2022 Student

    When I began this journey with HHGA I was like a ship lost out at sea. As a lover of Jesus who followed Him with great faith into the unknown, over the years I had been overwhelmed with great disappointment. I was a shell of my former self, and although I had tried to find His hand in the deep darkness, after many failed attempts I had nothing left to give.

    I didn't sign up to HHGA to pioneer anything; I was merely desperate to find my way back to God.

    During my time in HHGA, with the prophetic being spoken over my life through Marianne, my deeply wounded soul has been led with the utmost care and Spirit-led support and sensitivity, through the valley of lies that has suffocated me for so long, and back into a deep, restorative relationship with my God. And this would have been enough for me! But as we progress together, I am beginning to find the pathway to a destiny that I have been fearfully and wonderfully created for... and it has been under my feet all my life!

    Marianne is not a regular leader: she is the example of grace you always heard about but never saw with your own eyes. She is so honest, and gentle, and cares so deeply about every struggle and triumph. And even though she is a Spirit-filled powerhouse, she sees you as her equal, respecting the God-given call on your life without any doubt.

    And this is not a regular course or program: this is Yeshua, taking your hand, and leading you to the love and the life that you have been longing for since the day you were born.

  • Natasha Fong, 2022 Student

    Kingdom pioneer are 2 words I would have never associated with myself, but the more I was seeking God for direction the more he started showing me it was indeed an aspect of my Identity and so began the journey of Her Harvest Global academy in 2022.

    I didn’t quite know what to expect as it was an entirely new journey for me, all I had was a small seed that the Father had placed in my hand and it had been dormant for too long.

    This academy is different from the normal “Christian studies” we have come to expect in this day and age as it teaches us that in order to build for the Kingdom of God, we must in fact first tear up any false foundations in our own lives so we can not just build what he has called us to, but so that it will last!

    When we have Jesus/Yeshua as our cornerstone, when we truly know our identity in him and have a real relationship then he can and will use us to usher in the Kingdom of God on Earth. HHG is truly an end time academy for such a time as this, Marianne comes with so much depth, grace, humility and knowledge because of her obedience to The Lords calling on her life.

    The confidence, healing and restoration that God has imparted to my identity during this year as been life-changing 😭😭😭

  • Laura Ballinger, 2022 Student

    When I enrolled in Her Harvest Global Academy I wasn’t completely sure why but I knew that I needed to be here. I thought it was potentially just to re-launch a Kingdom business that I have been running. However God had much more in store for me! I know that if I didn’t have this space, these teachings, and the mentorship under Marianne, that I potentially would have missed the new thing that God was trying to show me.

    If you’re wondering what HHGA is, I think it’s a number of things!

    It is solid Biblical teaching, and constantly pointing us back to God, back to the Word, back to sitting with Holy Spirit and leaning into what He is trying to tell us and teach us.

    It is community; real and raw and vulnerable. Something you may have thought was impossible to do in the online space! But Marianne has a special gift of creating a safe and open space for people to share and for real community to form.

    It is prayer. Constantly. You can tell that Marianne and the team are constantly seeking God’s heart in how to lead and that they are following Holy Spirit’s guidance in their planning and preparation throughout the year. There are also special class times set aside for ministry and prayer, however, it is not limited just to those moments! It is something that sets HHGA apart from any other academy! The opportunities to receive prayer, to stand together as a community of sisters and pray for one another, to release the Father’s heart through the prophetic. I never expected that I would grow as much in my own prayer life as I have by being in the Academy. Even though prayer was never specifically taught in the first year classes, you can’t help but learn and grow when you are immersed in such a rich environment of prayer. The corporate prayer, standing together and interceding for each other, speaking words of encouragement and growing in the prophetic - that was all such an amazing by-product of being in these classes!

    It is transformational. When you willingly and intentionally give God your surrendered hearts and time, He moves in ways that you could never imagine was possible. Although I had already started working with God on some of the foundational topics that we covered – God had so much more in store for me! So much more to uncover. So much more to heal. So much more to teach me! God has taken me from the girl who was so uncertain she had anything to offer, to a woman walking in Godly confidence and boldness! It’s not something I could have manufactured on my own, it came from the deep heart work that I worked through with Holy Spirit. Things that I didn’t even know that I needed to heal, and strongholds that I didn’t realise were still there! Those foundational teachings and revelations shared with us in the first half of the year were so clearly directed by God!

    It is knowledge. Everything that Marianne teaches in these classes is grounded in the Word of God. As the year progressed and we started looking at how to build a Kingdom business, movement or ministry, that never changed - each class was still always rooted in scripture. Marianne provides the overarching knowledge of how to build with God; she can give you the tips and the Kingdom blueprint checklists - but she knows that Holy Spirit is the one who will provide you with the details. Marianne doesn’t walk you through every tiny detail, instead she helps guide you as you walk with God and allow Holy Spirit to reveal the details. Because of that, we are constantly being reminded to go to the One who has the answers! This is what stops us from building in our own strength and copying what the rest of the world is doing. Marianne isn’t just teaching us how to build a business, movement or ministry, she is teaching us how to build it God’s Kingdom way.

  • Malaea Schuster, 2022 Student

    Mid last year I had a thought I’d be going back to study. I sat with this for a few weeks and prayed on it thinking I’d be going back to uni to finish my second degree that I had started back in 2018. Then I did the 6 week Discover Your Divine Design course and Marianne mentioned the Academy and this really stood out to me. So I took it back to God and asked if this was truly for me as financially I knew I was not in a position to enrol. But during my quiet time with the Father I felt in my spirit to just take a leap of faith and trust that He will provide (and let me tell you - God has truly been faithful to his word and each and every month finances have come in).

    Joining the Academy has been what I did not know I needed. But God knew right from the start. Starting the year I didn’t know what to expect but I came expectant. And since journeying with HHGA I’ve seen breakthrough and deep healing in areas of my heart I thought were already healed. And through a place of true surrender allowing God to break and dismantle old mindsets, habits and what I thought my future and business plan would look like God has opened doors for me and my family, preparing and repositioning us all for His Kingdom and Glory.

    I've gained lifelong, faith filled sisters to journey alongside with. Women who’ve prayed with me and for me and my family.

    Marianne has such a fire and passion for all things kingdom, and is the most genuine and caring mentor. Her obedience to the Father and boldness to allow Holy Spirit to speak through her is truly inspiring and encouraging.

    Joining Her Harvest Global Academy has honestly been life changing not only in equipping me for launching a Kingdom Business God’s way but also setting me up with foundational principles and values to walk my everyday life with purpose and authority for such a time as this, as a mighty woman of God

  • Ashley Efaraimo, 2023 Student

    This past year Her Harvest Global Academy has helped walk alongside me in one of my hardest seasons to date. I signed up to this class looking for a breadcrumb of direction back to the Lord as I had lost my way.

    After my second fall and everything coming back my vertigo, anxiety, dizziness and headaches returned I was filled with so much rage, envy, anger, resentment.

    a lot of things from my past had come up again. I wasn’t sure where to go?

    Church wasnt safe, everywhere I went or looked reminded me of what I thought I had lost…

    What I thought was loss or embarrassment, what I thought was betrayal but was Gods protection. All the LIES the enemy fed me within this season that I almost continued to believe. A muffled brain I somehow managed to remember about the email I saw earlier on about registrations opening soon.

    I wasn’t sure what I was called to, because of my orphan heart felt called to everything, everyone. Boy was I wrong.

    Fast forward to the first 6 weeks of the course with Marianne (mentor) the healing process had well and truly begun things that I had missed in my early healing phases with Father he so kindly took me back and re-addressed them all again such patience. He Allowed me to sit at my My Sinai to strategically figure out the why’s and the who’s of my journey and the how’s for my next steps.

    He had me stationary to open my wounds up that I quickly sewed myself and he began healing them & reattaching all his original stitches that he had used to knit me up in the beginning from the womb.

    I’m still a far call from where he’s calling me but I’m on my way back staggering, but still moving my wounds are slowly healing and are waiting to turn to scars but we’re a far way from where I was a year ago and for that I boast and praise on him! HALLELUJAH

    I can look at myself in the mirror again and be filled with the Joy and love towards myself again. I see him in me glimmering championing me on to keep fighting the good fight

  • Grace Miller, 2023 Student

    My time during year 1 with Her Harvest Global Academy was an incredible nourishment to my soul. I came into the Academy with high hopes to move forward in the calling God has placed on my heart and these expectations were beautifully molded into something better than I could have ever asked or imagined.

    Through listening to the Holy Spirit in solitude, through the classes and activations assignments, I was able to return to some basics with God and together we built a stronger foundation filled with a focus on his perfect provision, patience, peace and intimacy. I must add too, the joy of the Lord that was re-discovered within year 1 was an answered prayer. 

    All the women and Marianne herself constantly shared so much love, kindness, wisdom and prayers. I always felt God’s hand on my life even more than before through doing this course and experienced a refreshment of confidence in Christ and excitement to live out and see the plans of hope God has for my life and other people’s lives

  • Ee Laine Tong, 2023 Student

    It has been such a privilege to journey with the ladies at Her Harvest Global Academy this year. I’ve had many revelations from the teaching and sharing of the Word.

    A major breakthrough that I had was that I used to struggle with a lack mentality and often thought that I was stuck in life.

    This changed when I started working with the Lord after having a revelation on the teaching titled Renewal of the Mind. So, watch out year 1 students!

    The raw testimonies have been so encouraging. Student are encouraged to dig deep in order to heal, discover the gifts and calling within us. The classes, ministry and mentoring sessions are Holy Spirit led.

    It has also transformed the way I think and provided me with some useful tools about pioneering whether they are for now or into the future or if we are in a season of waiting.

    I highly recommend it to whoever who felt the Lord has called them to sign up for this course!”
