Student Testimonials

Anya Israel, age 20, from Wichita, Kansas

“Honestly, I was surprised most by how much I’ve grown spiritually. I’m stronger, more confident, and more peaceful than I’ve ever been both mentally and spiritually. The results of growth are always worth the pain of the journey.”

Michaylah Malone, age 30s, from Paris, Texas

“If you feel God is calling you to write and you desire hands-on learning, then this school is the perfect place to be! I’ve experienced growth, discipline, discipleship, healing, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be called by God for the glory of His kingdom. Although I enjoyed writing stories before, this school teaches the secrets to actually succeeding in the world of writing. I imagine the experience so far as bones being broken in order to grow back correctly as habits I’ve accumulated over the years are being renewed for the better. Best decision I ever made!”

Thirzah Griffioen, age 18, from Bryans Road, Maryland

“What I really love about the School of Kingdom Writers so far, is that I can already see my writing improve– quite a bit. I’ve learned a lot of different techniques that have completely changed the way I used to write, and I’m so impressed with the results.“
