“Before EXCEL, I was starting to realize that things I had always been taught were not what I really believed. While here, my small, distrustful thinking of God was expanded into a more trusting view of a bigger, mightier God. EXCEL covered all areas of personal growth: Spiritual beliefs, relationship with God, time management, relating with people, trusting God, educational skills, etc. Plus meeting many wonderful girls seeking the Lord to encourage you! There′s a loving, caring, considerate team of people working here whose objective is to help us grow in the Lord. I loved it!” — Mary

“EXCEL is the perfect experience for girls from all types of backgrounds. EXCEL is a place where God just melted my heart and revealed His wonderful plan for my life. Coming here I had a past that I felt was unforgivable. I questioned my salvation. Here I was challenged with the question, “Did Jesus not shed enough blood for you?” I came to acknowledge that God is bigger than my problems and circumstances. I highly recommend EXCEL to young women all over. God will richly bless them and they will experience God′s love in many ways.” — Graciela

“I praise God for bringing me to EXCEL. It was a very special time of learning about my God and who I am in Him. I was able to look at the lies of the enemy that I believed, the worldly influences that were in my life, and replace them with the truth. I experienced the amazing love of God and was set free with His truth. His love changed my heart to love Him whole-heartedly and to obey Him with joy. It was also a great blessing to meet Godly, loving people of God. EXCEL was a really precious, life-changing experience for me and I wish every Christian young woman could have this experience!” — Sarah

“It took many years for God to prepare me to come to EXCEL and I found that God′s timing was perfect! All the leaders were simply amazing and the joy of Christ shows through every thing they do. The Bells couldn′t be sweeter or more caring. Every speaker that was brought in God used in an awesome way to speak to my heart. Here at EXCEL I learned so much more about the pure joy and hope I can find in my Savior, it is something that has changed not just my life but also my day-to-day walk with Jesus. Glory to God!” — Liz

“Before I came to EXCEL I thought I knew everything that would be taught and I was just coming for the experience. I was so wrong! Every day God would prick my heart and reveal to me areas in my life that I needed to surrender to Him. When I wrote my first description of who God is I thought it would stay the same the whole eight weeks. Once again, I was wrong. Through some difficult circumstances (catching the flu), I got to spend a week in my room with God. He became so real to me and He continued to become more real as Mrs. Bell finished the Names of God sessions. God is truly amazing! I had no idea that God would use EXCEL to change my life in so many ways, but He did and I am so grateful. I′d recommend EXCEL for any girl who desires having a bigger picture of herself and her God.” — Sarah

“God has used this EXCEL to teach me more about who He is and what kind of relationship He wants with me. I′ve learned more about my life purpose, and am striving to use this springtime to bring God glory and to have an abundant harvest. He showed me His grace is sufficient and He is trustworthy, and that when I step out in faith and obedience God will supply the grace for the rest.” — Katie

“Coming to EXCEL is one of the best things I have ever done. During the course I learned what it means to truly surrender my mind, will, and emotions to God. I was able to take my parents′ standards and make them my own standards by learning more of what it means to really serve God with my life. I have a deeper relationship with God, and I want to take a long walk through life with God before me. I desire to see life through God′s eyes! I would encourage all young ladies to come to EXCEL. This is an awesome course that really helped me know who I am in Christ and how I can serve Him with my life.” — Rachel

“My time at EXCEL completely changed my spiritual life for the better. Before I came I did not have a real desire and love for God′s Word, but now I′m excited to sit down and see what God wants to show me! I was also blown away by the amazing godly speakers we had! God sent me to EXCEL for a purpose and now I am going home with a newfound love for Him and a glimpse of what my life purpose is. God definitely used EXCEL to change my life.” — Elizabeth

“I came to EXCEL excited, but I thought of it more of a “finishing” school with a few additions. Boy, was I wrong. It was so much more than that! I had an encounter with God, and God met me in so many different and wonderful ways. Even though it was tough and stressful at times, I learned how to lean and depend on God. I met amazing girls, made friends for life, and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and watch everyone grow a lot and become different people in the Lord.” — Natasha

“Before coming to EXCEL I struggled with giving my future to God and there was a certain area that I was continuing to hold on to. While at EXCEL God showed me how great He truly is and how able He is to handle my future. I was able to surrender my all to Him. EXCEL has had such an impact on my life. I′ve been challenged to live my life, moment by moment, as a reflector of Christ, encouraging others to seek first our great God.” — Heidi

“EXCEL has changed my life. I learned more in these eight weeks than I ever thought possible. God met me here in an amazing way. I learned to trust Him in every situation. I learned so much from every session. My vision of who God is was totally expanded. I am so much closer to Him now than I ever have been before. I was not willing to trust Him with my future before I came. I surrendered it to Him and am willing to do whatever He leads me to do now. EXCEL did all this for me and so much more!” — Lauren

“I was very upset about coming to EXCEL, but after I got here, the Lord used the teaching to open my heart and give me a burning desire to know Him more. He gave me a desire to allow Him to court me and win my heart. He showed me how special I am, and I am so excited to see how He will work in and through my life as I grow closer to Him.” — Christina
