"I first felt my calling to Grace from a dynamic minister who said, 'We tie God's hands when we do not educate ourselves to our fullest potential.' I'm reminded of Hosea 4:6: 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge'.
"Being in the EXCEL program has allowed me to seek my greater purpose in life and still work full-time to pay the bills and put food on the table. I'm probably the oldest student in the class, but I feel a youthful energy to realize God's plan in my life and a revitalized focus on moving ahead in my career." |

"I've worked with Campus Crusade for many years, most recently in the Persian Gulf. I wanted to enhance my field experience in ministry with a theological perspective - and Grace was the obvious choice. The kind of flexibility, reinforced by the personal relationships with faculty and students, is something that I don't think you could find anywhere else. Now, I'm returning to missionary work in Europe with an ever stronger biblical and interpersonal perspective." |

"Among the greatest decisions I've made in life is the decision to complete my undergraduate degree. Apart from the achievement of a college degree and the potential to further myself in life, is the complete life transformation I have undergone. While in the EXCEL program, I hardly noticed the change that all my family said was quite noticeable. I, however, began to notice the difference after graduation. My whole world view, thought process, and life mission changed. Thanks to all the EXCEL staff, I will begin graduate studies this fall. I really could not have completed this degree without the encouragement from my professors. I would encourage anyone to test themselves and find that they, too, can reach this attainable goal." |
