“Formation Internship has genuinely pushed me to a new level of faith and growth. Formation Internship has taught me to be a “heart first” servant, and God has shown himself in my life more in this process than ever before!”
“The Formation Internship has changed my life by teaching me what it means to say yes to God. I have fully come into agreement with what God has and wants for me. The best takeaway from Formation 2020 is how much God can do with our complete yes.”
“The Formation Internship tremendously changed my life forever! It developed me in a season where it was ok to try and fail.
