Student Testimony
I am now reaping the benefits of my years at college particularly in the area of leadership. I was a bit apprehensive about going at first, as I thought it would take too long and God wants to reach people now. However, to use His people to reap the greatest possible harvest and a trained soldier can be used to greater capacity than an untrained one.
