Line of Departure Testimonials

Below are some of the comments provided by previous Line of Departure participants.

This experience made me see the hand of God working faithfully to answer my prayers for [our church] . . . to look beyond us and see what God has for us to do in reaching others . . . we are crossing the Line of Departure. May we fix our eyes on Him.

Line of Departure showed me that making disciples is possible for all of us.

I’m committed now to really looking and listening to the people God sends to me.

The time of worship helped me focus on God and how He wants me to share what He’s done for me.

I realize I can step out and talk to others about Jesus, and I know God is here to help me.

I’ve been challenged to put aside excuses and go forward to share Jesus.

Getting close to people and listening to their needs was a significant idea for me.

I am struck by how quickly God answered my prayer to connect with 2 of my 4 lost friends.

The blueprint of visuals, worship, and presentation brought the experience to life.

This was a tremendous weekend! I felt joy and deep sorrow. I’m grateful to be reminded of how God loves me and my fellow man, but . . . am reminded of how little I’ve shared that love.

I liked that we actually participated and did not just listen.

I can’t get my lost friends off my mind. My heart hurts for them.

It is significant to learn the pressure is not on me. We’ve been doing it backward for years.

The material was very easy to understand. Real. I can do this!

The worship helped me to break through the surface of my thoughts and clear other things from my mind so I could see and hear what was presented.

The training put a lot of loose ends together. It made me see that I can share God’s love, my story, and not have to be a pro. It gave me confidence.

I’m committed to spending more time with friends that are not Christians and working on bringing up God and my story with them.

The material was wonderfully illustrated, positively presented, and personally challenging.

I’m motivated to be intentionally connecting to people for God’s glory.

This was the best thing I have attended for my own spiritual growth.

This experience made me evaluate my personal response to God’s tremendous love for me. What can I do but reach out to others?

There are a lot of hot topics and “how to’s” out there . . . but this gets to the heart of Jesus’ ministry.

The training journal is very comprehensive. It provides a good resource for future “tune-ups.”

The worship time helped me to communicate with God in a personal way.

God moved me to a greater desire to move away from the comfortable life and connect with the lost.

The mixture of lessons, visuals, and scripture was significant for me.

This experience changed my life by making me more aware of seeing people through Jesus’ eyes.

I’m committed to being aware daily of opportunities to reach out, even in my mundane routines. There are “fellow seekers” out there waiting for me to find them.

The training showed me that making disciples is not about how much I know, but how I put the principles to work in my life.
