What Others are Saying

"Comm Lab made me feel like I transitioned from being a megaphone on a pole, to a person at a coffee table. One of our church partners asked me to fill the pulpit for a Sunday, and this was the first time in two years on staff I felt confident in what I was communicating."

Marcus Pattullo, Campus Ministry

"Everything was so beneficial! I came into Comm Lab with no idea how to speak in public, and as a result I avoided all speaking engagements. It wasn't so much fear as incompetence. How was I suppose to stand? How much should I walk? Where do I look? What do I do with my hands? Now I know! Moreover, I enjoy talking up front now! Excellent conference and one of the best things I have ever been able to participate in."

Christopher Branner, Campus Ministry

"This training was a huge benefit to my campus ministry team in Ireland. I saw visible transformation with some of our young staff in just a few short days. High quality. Very professional. Excellent standard. This training is a must for anyone who is in full- or part-time ministry."

Kelly Mulholland, National Campus Director, Ireland

“The lectures and the drills were extremely beneficial. We were given the theory of speaking then allowed to practice, practice, practice. That really helped me to internalize and put into practice the theory. In addition, having a great coach (go Don!) to help give guidance while practicing was critical. I also enjoyed the time/space we were given to meet with God. I was impressed by how much focus was given to intimacy with the Lord. It was encouraging and meaningful.”
