What Others Are Saying
An Inside Look During Spring Break 2008, a group of students from Taylor University in Indiana participated in our Bridge Builders program. The students chronicled their time through their university's website and the leader of the program, Kyle Lantz, blogged about their adventures. Taylor University Website - Click Here!

"This was a fantastic trip! I've been on many service-mission trips before but, this truly stands out as one of the best experiences. The learning elements from this trip and the exposure to so many ministries really made the week outstanding."
"I loved this week! It was such an eye opener and I wouldn't change anything.
"The greatest testimony I can give to the impact this trip had on me, however, is its permanence in my life. I didn't just feel all warm and fuzzy during that week, and then forget everything I learned. That trip turned my life around forever. I was a completely different person when I came home. My interest in sharing the Gospel continued to grow..."
"Ever since my time in Chicago [with the Bridge Builders group] I have begun to rethink my life as it pertains to living out the Gospel amongst the poor and Christ's commands to "love your neighbor. I am thinking of changing majors and making some changes in my everyday life so that I can truly become like Christ."
"The in-depth Bible studies have made me see the Bible in a whole new light! I was never taught that the Bible had such strong commands in the areas of justice and concerning the poor."
"Can I come and work with you guys as an intern? I was so impacted by the Bible studies and ministry experiences that I feel I need to explore whether or not urban ministry is what God is calling me to."
"I am really thinking about changing my major to social work. Although I don't think that by doing this it will [necessarily] prepare me for what's ahead. I am just so overwhelmed by God's heart for the poor and my calling in this, that I really don't know where to turn next. All I know is that I no longer look at ministry to the poor as an option but rather, as a commandment!" |
