Written Testimonials from Called & Gifted Participants
“Called & Gifted was one of the most useful classes that I’ve ever taken! I’m a practical gal, so I like to know how I can have the most impact and be the most useful. This class helped me to identify and understand the gifts I have been given in order to better serve God and his kids. It also helped me to see where I am not as gifted, and it is okay to allow others to fulfill their calling in those areas.”
– former Called & Gifted participant, K.W.
“This has changed my life for the better by increasing my self-awareness so that I am able to better serve God and others.” – former Called & Gifted participant, T.J.
