Why did you apply to LAUNCH?
LAUNCH was actually my third choice of where to go after high school. I had my eye on a
couple of colleges but they didn’t work out. I was always interested in LAUNCH for learning
about leadership and being in a good environment for spiritual growth.

Why did you apply to LAUNCH?
When I first heard about this program, I was excited for the opportunity because I saw in it a
chance to learn practical skills, ministry experience, and good work ethic. I also anticipated that
I could be disciple here, which is always something I’ve wanted. I want to be a pastor someday,
so all these things made LAUNCH the best opportunity to seize. Praise God for this ministry!

: 18 years

Why did you apply to LAUNCH?
I decided being in LAUNCH would be a good experience for me to be away from home but not
being thrown out into the world. I have always been sheltered from the world and I thought
it would be good to have a stepping stone. LAUNCH seemed like a good fit for me so I can see
what the real world is like as well as being slightly sheltered. The final decision was made when
I felt God pulling me toward this direction.

Why did you apply to LAUNCH?
Over the last few years I have felt God calling me to serve Him through serving others. Having
grown up coming to Hidden Acres as a camper, the ministry here means a lot to me. When
attending LAUNCH started to become a possibility, God really made it clear to me that this is
where He wanted me. Consequently, here I am, ready to serve however God sees fit.
