• My favorite part of the program was reading from the scriptures every day because I felt close to God. – Boy Scout, Beavercreek, OH

• My favorite parts of God and Church were the making the video, and Lesson Seven. I remember when I made a mistake in my video. I said “Hello” but omitted an “O”. I laughed about it for a long time. This program is cool! Thanks! – Boy Scout, Brunswick, OH
   

• Joe is beginning to realize the importance of reading God’s Word. To this point I believe that this has been the most beneficial program that Joe has been involved in and that through this Jesus has begun drawing Joe to Himself. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Elk Grove, CA
   

• The Counselor booklet made my job easier, the hard part was deciding of all the options, which one we were going to do.  Counselor, Elk Grove, CA

•  We enjoyed the intentionality of the Bible study and reflections that occur when we participate in the P.R.A.Y. programs. Morristown, NJ

• Our group planned an outdoor worship for the Troop campout.
   

• My son has started reading the Bible now because of this program. Paducah, KY
   

• Actually, in the final discussions, we found that the video was the most fun -- and perhaps the most memorable for the group. They acted out Jesus' miracle of changing water into wine. It was kind of "amateur" and low-budget-- without costumes, etc, -- I thought it would be a bust, but they actually loved it.
   

• Our son is getting closer to God. We had a lot of personal troubles (our house burned), but he is going back to God.
   

• My favorite part of the God and Church program would probably be the part where we filmed the commercial with the puppets … another person in our group was dressed up in a “beard-wig thing.” Elk Grove, CA

• One of my favorite parts was when I got to go get a tour at the Veteran’s Nevada Nursing Home and how we got to make a movie. Boulder City, NV
   

• This program was used in connection with our one-on-one mentoring program for confirmation. They met once a week for 16 weeks, as well as group activities. This is a nice program that allows the scout to see for herself the connection of faith in their lives.
   

• What I liked best about God and Church is drawing the pictures at the end of each lesson.
   

• Because of this program we have sat down and taken time to read and discuss the Bible together. For both of us, it has been a fun and interesting step on our faith journey. Midwest City, OK  (mentor and scout)
   

• I liked playing the different memory games like Jeopardy. I also enjoyed doing the community service project. It made me feel kind of proud. Houston, TX

• I really like video taping our broadcast. How can I forget any of it? Marion, KY
   

• My favorite parts were the projects for the photo album. The projects made it more than just book work. They made it fun. I looked forward to completing the lesson, not only because I was one step closer to finishing, but also because I got another project to do. I didn’t really have a favorite lesson, but I will remember everything learned for this. Phoenix, AZ
   

• Good program; good Bible study focus; good activities, good accountability. Phoenix, AZ

• It worked well with our church confirmation program.
   

• We saw in this course an amazing metamorphosis. Our youth participant summed it up best: “When I started this program, I was only interested in getting the medal – now that we are finished, I don’t want the classes to end.” Both youth and mentors got so much out of the program, they are all interested in helping put on the next programs.  Springfield, MA
   

• Lesson 4 struck youth and parents most as they came face-to-face with their attitude toward worship compared to the example of Christ. Paulding, OH
   

• My favorite part was the album that we had to do every section. It was cool to see on paper my view on Jesus’ life. It was also cool to see different houses of worship. I also liked it when I found out all this stuff about our church and the history of it. Colchester, CT
   

• It was easy for me as the counselor to use and add follow-up questions and comments. I believe it was well suited for Junior High level and opened the door for good conversation. Columbus, NE
   

• The strength of the program was referring to and having us find answers from scripture. Also under “Picture This” – the variety of ideas/choices was good and each girl could choose what she’d enjoy to do.” Torrance, CA
   

• I couldn’t be more pleased. My child seems more aware and interested in living a lifestyle that keeps him close to God. We have enjoyed our prayer time together. Wylie, TX
   

• The best thing I remember about God and Church is the activities we did such as the video taping. We fished and we played a jeopardy game. My favorite, but hardest lesson, was lesson 3 where I had to memorize the Nicene Creed. Louisville, KY
   

• I enjoyed making the movies the most. I liked all the lessons. It was mostly fun, but there were some hard parts. Learning the difference between ministering and witnessing was the hardest, especially when we had to flip the coin. I would recommend the program to other people because it’s fun and you get to learn more about your religion and faith. I finished it because I had a mom who pushed me and helped me finish and a good counselor who helped me a lot! Louisville, KY
