QUOTES from LIFT GRADUATES

"The best thing about LIFT was having the chance to step away from the fast-paced society and dig deeper, and sometimes just be still and let the Lord work in you." - Julie

"God has shown me Himself as Lord...what it really means for Christ to be the Lord of my life. He is all-encompassing - in a much greater way than I knew Him before. And with that, I'm learning what my life ought to look like under His lordship." - Audry

"The parts of LIFT that impacted me the most were the fellowship and how much more I know God as a result of the information I learned in class as well as the experiences we had. Allowing us to combine all of these aspects led to an abundant and fruitful time, preparing us to go out and be lights in the world." - Erik

"I learned a lot about myself and how I deal with people...I'm learning that I have worth not because of what I do or who I am or who likes me, but solely because I am God's daughter, bought with the blood of Christ." - Katherine

"The most meaningful aspect of LIFT was the community. As we learned in the Creation, we were created for fellowship/relationship. Interacting with the other students was the best thing about LIFT. It was also the hardest thing about LIFT, and the place where I believe the most growth took place." - Adam

"It is interesting to look back on our "LIFT" days and recall how the Lord shaped our lives through the experiences we had then and how He continues to build upon those foundations as we grow in His grace and in our desire to walk with Him daily. I can honestly say that I learned some of the most important truths about the Lord, His Word and His promises during that one short semester and that I return to them often as I work to live a life that is holy and pleasing to Him." - Amy (now married to another LIFT grad)

"The best thing about LIFT was, in a nutshell, the relationships. My LIFT brothers and sisters have a place in my heart that my other friends do not have." - Karen

"God showed me so much about Himself during LIFT...He showed me that He is Lord of all things, even secular literature; that all good gifts come from above and can be used to His glory...He showed me that, while I have no excuse not to strive to be more like Him, ultimately it is He who can alone create the desire and sustain the power for me to change - and that He is faithful and will do it. He is very faithful." - Katherine
