"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, Lead Pastor & Church Planter, New Life Church
"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."

"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."
