What our students are saying…

Submit Your Testimony!

LCU opened the door for me to walk in the path God had planned for me!

I began taking LCU classes because I wanted to study the Word more deeply. I never realized I was being set-up by God to minister in a totally new way! The first time I stood behind a pulpit to minister, I knew it was what I was created to do.

Now, I serve several days a week in my local church and minister when needed. I am also our LCU Campus director and a faculty member.

LCU opened the door for me to walk in the path God had planned for me all along.

Sometimes i have to pinch myself

All the classes at LCU have helped me grow so much spiritually I couldn't pick just one as my favorite. I continue to rely on God more and more and grow my relationship with Him. I have learned to recognize my authority over the enemy in all areas of my life and how to deal with them. I know my identity in Christ Jesus, which helps me become stronger every day. I know now how to pray and how to get my prayers answered. I am braver when it comes to praying for people, because I know that we should be like Jesus and have the same compassion for people that He has. I love the way the Holy Ghost moves in all situations and hearing from Him every day. God has moved so much in my life and my family's lives that sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if it is real. I am so happy for LCU and all the teachers for all their knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for answering the calling of God on your lives.

Using my evangelism style

While in class studying evangelism, it was interesting to discover my evangelism style was "testimonial." I never knew I had a "style." The class assignment was to use our evangelism style to minister to an unsaved person. We were instructed to think of three people and choose one to accomplish this goal. I chose my three, but God had another plan.

The very next day, a young lady called our office seeking someone to talk to and pray with her. I work in the Social Service department for Catholic Charities and people often mistake our organization for a church. Most times, I tell people we are not a church and attempt to refer them to a nearby Catholic church.

This time, I told the young lady we were not a church, but I would love to talk with her and pray with her. One hour later, I was leading her to Christ, using my testimonial evangelism style. God knew I needed to see the power of what I had learned and the power it has to help save lives. I'm loving LCU!
