Testimonials

Through GLS Next Gen, our students have been encouraged and equipped to lead where they are, making an impact on the people God has placed in their lives. As one student shared, ‘I really enjoyed how the videos connected leadership with God and His teachings. They strengthened my relationship with Him while helping me understand what it means to be a leader.’ I’m happy to recommend the Next Gen resources to any ministry or organization looking to equip students to lead like Jesus.
