Here’s what some parents & Pastors are saying:
“Over the past 3 years of pastoring a new church, I’ve seen eight of our students pack up everything and move to Rockford for a ten-month journey of a lifetime. Many of them have since come back with a readiness and a willingness to be used by God to impact the world around them. The leadership team in Rockford is cultivating an environment where God is producing dynamic and passionate followers of Jesus. I highly recommend you take that journey.”Aaron Hubert – New Life Church, Lead Pastor & Church Planter
“We have sent some of our children straight to a four-year college and we believe that taking a year off and really seeking God first is worth the investment. To me, it’s not money poorly spent when a son or daughter can really figure out what they’re called to do and can run with much more clarity down the path to a four-year degree or whatever direction that is. Taking a little extra time as they launch into adulthood to seek God? I don’t think you can put a price on that.”Senator Paul Gazelka – Father
“Our daughter came away a totally different person. She became a leader; there was a real relationship with God, a deeper relationship. As a parent I would strongly encourage any parent to consider sending their child to this program.”John Novak – Father
“As we prepare to send our youngest son off to Focus One, I think about all that God has done in the lives of our two older sons who have already gone through the program. God has truly given them direction in their lives that they had so desired. They are excited and ready to change the world that they live in and trust Him in all that they do.I know God has great things in store for anyone who is willing to invest just 10 months of their lives.”
Beth Peanosky – Mother
“As a pastor and father of a Focus One graduate I am sold on what this ministry is doing. It is truly discipleship at its core. There’s no better way for a young adult to spend their first year beyond high school to lay a foundation for life and get clarity for their future than at Focus One.”Chip Block – Father / Oak Brook Community Church, Lead Pastor
