Testimonials

hear from former staff

My experience at LVR got me interested in working with church youth groups. For many years to come I helped the youth groups at the churches I attended, taught youth and adult Sunday school, worked with Boy Scouts of America, and taught martial arts to kids and adults.

I remember God showing up and providing strength and courage and patience that I did NOT have on my own. It was humbling and encouraging to know He was taking care of me and all the campers-- He is so faithful! I also loved learning about team dynamics, personality traits, and constructive communication techniques in staph training-- all of that definitely stuck with me. Thanks, Steve!
