  • "I have started to make my faith my top priority, and instead of worrying about worldly things, I focus more on my faith. I have developed a better quiet time and I feel much more comfortable sharing my faith with others. The entire summer was a positive experience for me. I enjoyed getting to know the other SummerShiners, staff and campers. I was excited and encouraged by the positive attitudes and giving spirits of the other SummerShiners."

  • "SummerShine teaches you to be a Christian in the real world! We take ministry opportunities when we get them. Those who grow the most make the effort and take the initiative to be intentional."

  • "(Through SummerShine) I learned to put God first and myself second. I learned to be at work on time and do my job to the best of my ability and keep a smile on my face. Very much has changed in my life this summer. I left my home in South Carolina and went alone to Virginia. I literally left on faith. I trusted the Lord to lead me where I could be used most efficiently. Along with his trust and faith, God showed me He is always faithful."
