The hunger for the encouragement and training was evident.

Here are just a few of the things we heard from those who were there:

“I used to think I was not able to do more with my life, but during the Summit, I was convinced that I can." (He was one of the 15 people that traveled 50 miles.)

“I live out my faith very actively in the church and I enjoy it, but I never thought about living out my faith at my work. I am in my office more than I spend my time in the church.

The Summit awakened me. I need to learn to take my faith to my workplace."

“I have a tendency to draw back whenever I face challenges, but the Summit inspired me to embrace leadership challenges.” - Vinny, Radio operator for the Indian Navy, and a Pastor

“Today I surrendered my life to Jesus. I am changed from here on out.”
