“I learned more from the Venture Academy than I did in my $35k MBA program. My family worked through the videos together and much of it applied to our publishing business and our training ministry. We've come a long way since just last year.”
“The quality of instruction and the level of organization was truly impressive! I'm sure this will be very beneficial…and a tremendous encouragement to me as I begin a family business...May God use your work and your family as a witness to inspire others in their pursuit of Godly vocations for their families.”
“I am so thankful for the opportunity to spend last week with you at the Venture Academy. The information provided was an incredible resource to me as I plan for launching my business. The time and effort you put into making this opportunity available is very much appreciated. I believe that your vision for equipping Christians to be entrepreneurial kingdom builders will have a tremendous multi-generational impact. May God richly bless your labors as you seek to honor Him.”
“I believe the Venture Academy benefited me in three main ways. First, it broadened my vision for Christian entrepreneurship while encouraging me to step out and take risks. Second, it provided a foundational framework of sound business concepts to build upon. Third, it connected me to a network of likeminded entrepreneurs whose collective resources and capabilities are truly remarkable. I have no doubt that I return from the Academy better equipped for service in Christ's kingdom. Though still very much an entrepreneurial novice, I now have a much better idea of the right questions to ask and the areas in which to expand my knowledge. I eagerly look forward to further training and discipleship opportunities from New Venture Lab.”
“I just want to say one more time how grateful I am for the opportunity to attend Venture Academy…it was a blessing beyond words…My family and I so appreciate your willingness to give of yourself to help train and teach…”
