what others say

“I think it’s helped me identify my character flaws and identified my personal strengths. Overall, the year has been a tool which God has used in shaping me and forming me for His works in the future. I feel I’ve grown closer to God because of what He has done for me and through me this year.”

I’ve grown closer to God

“It’s made me more aware of the fact that God is in control. I always used to try and control everything in my life, holding everything in it’s place. Now, I’ve learnt to let God take control which is scary and in the early stages but I’m getting there. In truth, though, I think I’ve probably changed in ways I haven’t realised yet, and won’t until I’m away somewhere new.”

“How I go about planning tasks has changed, my confidence has increased, my discipline skills have increased and my gifts have been developed. Heart-wise, God has dealt with issues that have been unresolved for a long time. He’s also taught me how to wait on him without worrying”

“This year has changed me immensely, maybe even transformed me. I guess through this year, God has challenged me, he has placed me here at Going Public so that my leaders, teachers and my mentor could mould me in line with God’s plan for me.”

This year has changed me immensely

“My relationship with God has always been a triangle of me, God, and someone else, whether it’s church or a person. I feel like this placement has knocked out that third leg and forced me to make my relationship with God just about Him and me. Good, but hard.”

“I am more sure of who I am and where I’m going. I’m better at things I was just good at before and I am more aware of where I need to improve. I’m more secure, brave and happy than I’ve been pretty much ever!”
