• Life Skills

Testimonies from the 2024 Crew:

Academy has been my character building shortcut, knocked off a lot of rough edges and now that I’ve finished, I feel so much more confident! 

— Riley

Academy felt like a step towards my future that took me further than I could have gone on my own. It was a year of personal growth and new experiences that gave me a head start in the life I want to be living.

— Charlotte

Academy showed me the power of surrendering everything you are and everything you have – it’s the greatest act of worship… and doing that built a stronger foundation for my life, trusting in God. 

— Micaylah

Academy instilled in me the confidence to trust God and His voice so that I can boldly step out and fulfil His will for my life. I learnt that it’s only through God I can have real peace and joy. The world cannot compare to Him. I also learnt not to fear mistakes, because God desires our hearts, not perfection.

— Michaeli

As Academy Leader Jakin Mai says, 

“Stepping out of your comfort zone sounds exciting and adventurous but it’s uncomfortable by definition. Each person had a tipping point, but then pushed through – and they grew so much from that point that now they’re still making uncomfortable decisions, knowing that growth lies on the other side! They’ve changed the pattern of their life.”

Pray

For the 2025 crew as they step out of their comfort zones and grow in their relationship with God and the plans He has for them!
