Here's what some former students have to say about their School of Ministry Development:

 

"I’ve learned how important it is
not to place a limit on myself or on God.
I’ve learned not to put ministry in a box --
ministry can happen in many different ways."
  - Chrissy

 

"God has been giving me a heart for the lost,
something I didn’t have before.
It was really hard to believe that God can use me,
but He has shown me that He really can.
Before I didn’t want to do anything related to missions,
but now I know that no matter what,
no matter what my studies or job,
I want to keep sharing the Gospel
and ministering to others."

- Miriam

 

"God taught me how to live and work
out of my heart, not just my head.
He showed me what
I was really passionate about and
how to accomplish that."

- Ian
  

 

"Since doing my SOMD,
I know that God’s got my back and
His plans are always better than mine."
- Josh

 

"Before SOMD I had a small view
of what God could do with me.

I was a broken tool that had little practical use.
Now I recognize the ways that
He has designed me and molded me
so I am more able to do whatever He calls me to.
It’s not in my power to save the lost, but it is my responsibility
to give them the opportunity to accept Christ
and to make clear what His character is.

  - Manny

 

"Christ is a servant.
I want to be like Him.

I want to lay down my life.
I want to wash feet.
I want to choose love even when I don’t feel like it.
These are hefty words.
Am I going to do it?"
