Testimonials and Reviews

“One day soon I hope to give back to the program and people who helped save my life, Abundant Life Academy. I am proud to say I want to go back and work there and give hope to the teens there, just like there where staff there to give me hope. I want to help people and someday I hope that God will open up the doors to allow me to do so. For now all I can do is pray for that door to be opened.”  – Stephanie S. (review of former student)

“I thank God for all He has given me and the people He has placed in my life at Abundant Life Academy. And I ask God daily to help me to reach my full potential as a daughter, wife, mother, and friend. Thank you, Abundant Life Academy, for my second chance at life.”  – Liz G. (review of former student)

“At Abundant Life Academy I learned to love without emotionally attaching myself. I haven’t experienced that kind of love from other people in so long, it made me realize how much more I have to offer my family and friends. I am going to love my family with more love than I have. I will be more open to trusting people and letting them love me more than I was before.” – Amanda C. (review of former student)

“I learned at Abundant Life Academy that I have parents who love me with all their being. And I now have an amazing guy in my life, who for the first time, makes me feel respected and safe, I have friends that can’t get enough of me, and I have staff members and directors at Abundant Life Academy that have taken the time out of their lives to help teenagers come to Christ. For the first time in my life, I couldn’t ask for anything more. Materialistic things fade over time, but the love and the bonds that you build with the people that come into your life are things that will be there forever.” – Chris S. (review of former student)

“When I first arrived at Abundant Life Academy the staff and peers helped me realize some problem that I had. On January 23rd, God healed me of my selfishness and helped me every day with my lying and manipulation. God also helped me realized that drugs and alcohol were used as an easy way out. One thing I had to realize is that taking the easy way out just hurt me more in the long run. I learned I don’t need drugs and alcohol in my life.”  –Malica E. (review of former student)

“My life now has changed a lot from attending Abundant Life Academy. I know my life is headed down the right path now. I believe that God will be with me here on out.”  –Anthony G. (review of former student)

“By the time my parents found out about most of my lies, I was addicted to alcohol and into drug abuse, sexually active, a liar, manipulator, and trouble maker within my family. The only one of those that my parents weren’t 100% sure on was the alcohol and drug abuse aspect, but I’m pretty sure they had their suspicions.  At Abundant Life Academy I learned what my deeper problems are. I can’t say it was always easy because that would be very far from the truth. There was times when I wanted to give up, but I stuck it out. This program has made me realize how important my family is and I’ll never again take them for granted.” – Olivia W. (review of former student)

“Praise God!!! Praise God!!!! Praise God for everything that He has done in our life through having our teen at Abundant Life Academy. What an awesome place.” –Ginny S. (review of former student parent)

“Parenting is fun again after our son attended Abundant Life Academy. It is wonderful to watch them make bad and good choices and learn from them. We can’t thank ALA enough. We have a huge prayer list praying for the staff and every day.  We believe in what ALA is doing. God bless all the staff.”  –Robin G. (review of former student parent)
