Hear from Our Students

These testimonies from students and grads give you a real look at life, growth, and transformation at the School of Ministry.

‘‘

Through the School of Ministry, my shame was replaced with boldness and confidence. I discovered my voice, experienced true forgiveness, and now I’m empowered to encourage others to step into their God-given identity.

Matt, UK

‘‘

Before the School of Ministry, my life felt aimless; now, I have clear direction and a strong relationship with God. The practical ministry experiences taught me how to prioritize God in my daily decisions and equipped me for effective leadership and outreach.

Ethan, UK

‘‘

At the School of Ministry, I learned to stop hiding my emotions and discovered they were a gift from God. The teachings on emotional healing helped me break free from years of suppression, allowed me to confidently share my feelings with God, and deepened my spiritual intimacy and freedom.” — Lois, France
