Quotes:
“I try to be really prayerful about the projects that I take on and just the direction that I’m taking things.”
“I try to model what I encourage my women to do, which is to make everything a matter of prayer; that God knows exactly what their women need in their particular church.”
“That was one of the biggest things honestly, to come out of my time with you in the upLIFT program. I did not know some of the business type things and structures. I had never been taught that. And we kind of looked at what I had in place and where some of my gaps were, and you helped me to zero in on that in a huge way.”
“That is where we are most effective in our business is when we’re doing something where we’re using our gifts and strengths the way God has wired us. And then we’re also making a big impact for the people that he’s called us to serve.”- Esther Littlefield
“I just felt like you accelerated things for me. And I really just cannot speak highly enough about it [upLIFT MentorMind]. It was exactly what I needed at this time. And I’m so glad that I was part of it.”
“It [upLIFT] kept me going on my own. I definitely would have given up. There’s no way I would have pushed through.”
