GLS reviews:  

There are nuggets of wisdom, at the very least, and often truck loads, in every GLS session, for those in ministry as laypeople or clergy and for those outside the faith community.  I would not spend two precious days of summer sitting inside if what I gained at the GLS didn't significantly enhance my effectiveness in ministry and community work and feed my soul!
-Meredith, Bayport
 

This will be my third year at GLS; and I'm excited because I heard a rumor that Michael Jr. is back!  Something happens to me when I'm in a room full of people, hearing talks, testimonies, and teachings specifically designed to motivate and inspire.  I laugh, I cry and I take pages of notes - not just speaker highlights.  Ideas, plans, goals, hopes and dreams flood my mind to overflowing. It's electrifying.  When I leave the summit, I want to do so much. I truly believe I can make a difference.  
-Jann, Bayport
 

Every year that I go to the GLS,  take away something that has deep impact on my personal life, my professional life, and my work within the church.  And the atmosphere of excitement and creativity are invigorating!
-Linda, Wheatley Heights
