“Wisdom Trek has been a breakthrough experience for me personally and professionally. It has moved me forward in understanding myself as a leader, removing many obstacles I have faced and shown me specific ways to cultivate and equip the next generation to grow in leadership.” Beth Cook, Gainesville, Georgia

“Wisdom Trek helped me to sort through the busyness of my life, to prune and weed and water, so I can better be about what God wants to be doing through me.” Sharon Brown, Morehead, Minnesota

“My advice is to sit back, take it all in, think on it, pray about it and don’t worry. As your time progresses, your questions of self and ministry will be answered. Fear not it does not wrap up into the neat package you hoped to receive. It’s just that it may not look like what you thought it would. My ‘package’ is more beautiful and energizing than I thought it would be. But then I have to realize it is God’s package for me rather than my own.” Phil Brown, Morehead, Minnesota

“This was different than any conference or retreat I’ve been involved in. I feel that I have broken through the barrier that I’ve been banging against for a long time.” Nancy Anderson, Des Moines, Iowa

“For me the benefit of Wisdom Trek was the networking. We have tended to feel alone in the battle and meeting so many committed people with the same vision and hopes for the spiritual future of our kids was very uplifting.” Linda Armes, Bloomington, Indiana

“Not having burdened myself with expectations beforehand, I had a great time. From your training, from connecting with others, and just the realization that there are others God has called to stand up and speak out boldly for Him in this time.” Rod Armes, Bloomington, Indiana

“Want to make a difference? Leave a legacy to those in your Christian high school? Take, use, pray over and implement the Myers Institute ideas!” Joe Austin, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

“Come focused on clarifying your personal calling in the Kingdom of God and then begin applying that to your organization. Come with your spouse—this is not only about you but about both of you as a team.” Jeff Dill, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

“DO NOT COME! STAY AWAY! DON’T EVEN THINKABOUT IT…unless you are willing to be drawn deeper into an awareness of how God may want to equip you to be more effective within the purposes for which He has designed you.” John Cook, Gainesville, Georgia

“It has been the single most meaningful trip I have made in my life.” Patrick Franklin, Lake Wales, Florida

“The seminar material is excellent, practical, and challenging. Jeff doesn’t offer a cookie-cutter approach. Instead, he provides the principles and tools and challenges as we seek God’s wisdom and guidance in applying them to our particular ministry.” Keener Fry, Barboursville, West Virginia

“Wisdom Trek caused me to look deep inside myself and face the excuses for not being more active in Kingdom work. Doing the action plans took those walls we hide behind away and left me exposed to the Grace of a Loving God who says ‘I will redeem the lost years and make you an effective vessel for service.’” Roger Gupton, Dayton, Tennessee.

“The material is well thought out and the teaching is excellent.” Dianne Gupton, Dayton, Tennessee

“Incredible! In the extremely fast pace of day to day life homeschooling our family in Houston, Texas, we don’t often take the time to coordinate our vision between ourselves. It was amazing to see, after we individually filled out the thought-provoking material, to see how consistent our vision was with one another to mentor the next generation. It was encouraging and exciting to realize how God is in the process of knitting our hearts together with oneness of purpose, even in our hectic lives.” Jeff and Linda Hannawalt, Houston, Texas

“I came expecting tools and systems (which I got) but left with significant breakthroughs of the heart.” Rich Hart, Venice, Florida

“Do whatever you must do to get here. When you get here, be all here. Put all your effort into the evaluations and you will get the most out of them. If taken seriously, this weekend can propel you onto a path of personal transformation and culture-shaping influence for Christ and His kingdom!” Jon Huggins, Flowery Branch, Georgia

“I came to Wisdom Trek not knowing what to expect, but God has done a tremendous work in me these few days. I feel energized and focused on the mission and calling of my life. I’m leaving with specific steps to take to help me maintain this energy and focus.” Lisa Huggins, Flowery Branch, Georgia

“This has been an incredible time of insight and discover, personally as well as for our school. Our vision has been expanded, team-building experienced, and most of all fellowship enjoyed with some of God’s great servants all over the USA.” Steve and Annette Humphries, Gainesville, Georgia

“Jeff challenged me to be much more intentional with our student leadership development. I must be very specific with faculty about how to coach our student leaders. Jeff provided me with excellent resources to accomplish this task.” Joe Austin, Stony Brook, New York

“If you are working harder and harder to implement God’s vision for your organization to no avail, then stop working harder and begin working smarter. Wisdom Trek begins with dependence upon God, then moves you to clear vision, and finally mobilizes you to a strategy for action. Don’t miss this experience.” J.R. Kerr, Sewickley, Pennsylvania

“Very positive for our marriage and clarifying my personal goals and “wiring.” Our children will benefit from our being here.” Julie Broberg, Tacoma, Washington

“I feel empowered to do what I have always known I ought to be doing. I feel free to take on enormous goals in my life, bigger than I can accomplish, and have faith that I will accomplish them well.” Isaac Chiles, Fort Mill, South Carolina

“If nothing else, three and half days away from the grind of daily life will re-invigorate you. At the same time, if you pay attention, your view on living out the rest of your life will be enhanced. This has been excellent. I deeply regret that my wife was not here with me because it could have a significant impact on our marriage and our family. I’m hoping to repeat it with her soon.” Gary Davis, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania

“It is a time to learn the steps necessary to begin clarifying God’s vsion for you and the obstacles in your way. But, it is a beginning, and with God’s grace your persistence and self-determination will be necessary for the final breakthrough.” Gary Kimmel, Santa Rosa, California

“I had no clue what I was coming to…but as I leave and head for home I have been given a clear vision from God about why I came and how He wants me to act upon my passion for developing student leaders and mentors.” Gay Kimmel, Santa Rosa, California

“If you are intent on developing your leadership potential, this is the place to begin—the first place on the journey.” John LaFear, Huntington, West Virginia

“The categories and material were excellent. They helped us focus the camera lens on what we (as a group) were doing right and wrong, what we really needed (felt God was saying to do and how to get there). The experience also helped us identify obstacles (both personal and corporate) that we were and would face and how to persevere through these.” Jamie Leach, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania

“It was great connecting with other Christians and hearing what God is doing in their lives. It caused me to ask more questions than I have answer to. I was surprised that more pastors did not take advantage of this opportunity. There is a lot to process.” John Madden, Onancock, Virginia

“It was very valuable and affirming for me. I was hoping that it would me clarify all of the things swirling around me and it really did help to bring order out of the chaos. Helped me prioritize and set a starting point and to get on the same page with my spouse.” Sharon McEnaney, Cincinnati, Ohio

“It was thought-provoking, action-motivating and God-glorifying.” Jen Mohs, Chaska, Minnesota

“I truly enjoyed Wisdom Trek because it was Christ-centered, clearly directed, and focused. It was a time to really see where God has been dealing with me as well as allowing me to move on to become all God would have me be.” Don Mohs, Chaska, Minnesota

“It was wonderful! It was a time to hear about how God has designed us to be leaders and a time to be still and listen to God, allowing Him to break down the barriers!” Emmaline McKinnon, Snellville, Georgia

“Before arriving my only intention was to be able to support my husband. But I soon realized that I needed it just as much in order to be a more effective mom, wife and teacher.” Beth Nieses, Knoxville, Tennessee

“Very good, it brought to mind some ideas that will be helpful to our church, that I probably would not have thought of otherwise.” John Orr, Rutherfordton, North Carolina

“A lot to take in. Wish I could have filled out all those sections in the Life Impact Guide since they build on one another. Overall enjoyed the lectures, interacting with the folks, the ropes course. Helped to sharpen the focus somewhat.” Anthony LoFaso, Onancock, Virginia

“This has been life-changing for us because we found—through communication—that we do have many of the same big visions—we were just on different paths to achieve those visions. We’re now together on the same road heading for the same destination.” Judy Pivirotto, Bluffton, South Carolina

“Jeff, thank you for confronting me with the reality that my life lacks vision and focus. While I have plenty of action, goals and objectives—and have never had difficulty achieving them—I have not focused on how they impact and make the bigger picture. I have discovered that sometimes I am highly motivated to meet wrong or insignificant goals. Most importantly, I thank you for confronting me with the lack of communication I have with my wife. This has forced us to re-evaluated where we are going and what God would have us do. Our breakthrough was not in doing and persevering, but in drawing the map and measuring what we do against our vision. Thank you for pushing us to that first step.” Mike Pivirotto, Bluffton, South Carolina

“When you come to Wisdom Trek, be prepared to have your expectations interrupted by God. What I thought was the issue actually was not. Through the three days I gained an insight on what the “main thing” was for me. Above all heed the first exhortation—when you come, ‘be all here.’ The Lord will bless!” Dennis Queen, Tulsa, Oklahoma

“Before I knew about this conference I was already thinking about ways to reorganize everyday goals, etc. This definitely brought everything into clarity—it gave me a starting point and a long-term vision.” Patti Rhea, Lawton, Oklahoma

“Typically, one good idea which is put into action is enough to provide an ample return for the time and finances invested in attending a seminar or workshop such as this. I feel confident that there will be a number of ideas that will be appropriated into my life as a result of what I’ve learned. After reviewing the CDs there should be even more. This has been a great investment. The best is yet to come!” Pete Rhea, Lawton, Oklahoma

“Wisdom Trek helped me take a step outside my busy life so God could talk directly to me in areas that I needed to hear from Him. It has provided me movement for my vision and tools to help others do the same.” Kevin Rowe, Carmel, Indiana

“An eye-opening experience into finding out how to prioritize your life’s purpose and teach others to do the same.” Tom Rumping, Kings Mills, Ohio

“This experience has allowed us (my husband and I) to do something we don’t often take the time to do—focus on our vision and goals. Wisdom Trek not only gave us the opportunity to do this, but helped guide us on the way. I feel we are now better equipped to accomplish what we feel God has led us to do.” Meiling Rumping, Kings Mills, Ohio

“Very helpful. I feel like I have tools that are workable for me to achieve God’s purposes for my family.” Wolfgang Seibler, Palm Coast, Florida

“It is an incredible time to get away from the “busyness” and demands of life to take a good, long look at God’s perspective, and our lives. From there, I can evaluate and begin planning and taking steps to overcome obstacles and continue living out my God-given design.” Wayne Smith, Dayton, Tennessee
