Faith in Action

At our first-term LaunchPad graduation, we had a time for students to share testimonies about what God has done in their hearts and lives in the past few months through the classes. Jody’s class is usually very quiet and slow to respond to any invitation to speak or to share their thoughts, so she wasn’t expecting anyone to be excited about talking in front of the whole class.

But to her surprise, Isaac, an elderly gentleman in the class, quickly raised his hand. He walked down the aisle to the front of the class, visibly eager to share something. They were astounded by what he said. “Because of this class, I now go to the hospital and pray for people, and I go to the prisons and talk to the men there. When I go to my friends’ houses, I bring my LaunchPad material and Bible, and I tell them what we are learning. So I want to praise God, but I especially want to praise God for this class.”

It is so exciting to hear how our students are putting their faith into action!

After graduation, Jody was talking to one of her most consistently involved and dedicated students, Pat. When she asked him what he was going to do now that class was over for the term, he simply said with a huge smile on his face, “Preach!” Jody was floored as she listened to Pat describe how he had joined a “preaching team.” He’s really taking his faith to the next level!

All of our staff and interns who teach LaunchPad classes are making a huge impact on so many lives and communities!
