TESTIMONIES:

“The path has been great for me in several ways.  It’s helped me get back into the habit of reading for personal growth and development.  Through the Path, I’ve been able to meet some really cool people and develop some lasting relationships.  I can honestly say I feel like I am a better man and youth pastor today because of my time in the Path.” - Dylan

“The path has been a great opportunity to connect with other youth pastors. It’s been a place where I can grow as a pastor and a leader. I’ve been able to make connections and friendships that continue to have an encouraging impact on my ministry and personal life.” - Joseph
