How Destiny’s Whole World Changed
Destiny came to the Honor Academy not knowing what to expect. Now, after her first year, her life is completely turned around, and she is leading other interns as they continue to reach their generation together!
The biggest thing learned I learned at the Honor Academy is humility and considering others greater than yourself. I used to think I was all that, but I’m not. Humility is a big lesson.
It was a hard year! But it was absolutely worth it. Even those hard things were only momentary compared to what I learned and what I gained. The books we read, classes we took, even the ministry placement, all of it was completely worth it. I feel like I am 10 times the person I was before.
For my ministry placement I was an encouragement representative with Global Expeditions. I really didn't think I could encourage other teens to get on the mission field but my supervisor was really a huge support. She really inspired and equipped me. Feeling the weight of responsibility to call 70 missionaries was huge. I realized that if I didn't make those calls, they might not be going on the mission field! I was never given that type of responsibility before.
Now I am staying a second year to be a supervisor for other Global Expeditions callers. Some of the biggest lessons I will take with me are humility and faithfulness, and I have a passion for passing along this urgency to support these missionaries.

Imagine what God can do through just ONE person like Destiny. Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us," ... incredible!
I know that sometimes when we're neck deep in the ministry it seams that we can forget or overlook the impact that we're really having, what you are doing at the Honor Academy is literally making an eternal difference in the lives of millions of people! How do I know that, because you've equipped at least one. Keep up the good work! :0) God's always for you.

My daughter Sara was also an Honor Academy student who stayed as a C.A. Thank you for letting God use you and the other leaders in this way. Her life is inspiring to me as I observe what God is doing in her. Her love for Him and others is heart warming

I am planning on attending the Honor Academy in August 2010, and my financial situacion is not at a very good level right now for me or my family. But I know that God will provide because he has shown me that it is his will for me to go to the Honor Academy. I will rely on GOd to provide the money, because God has already begun to radically change my life, and I know that the Honor Academy will help me be completely transformed.
