Diving deeper into the Word and learning about other faiths and non-faith at IDMCi|uni helped me to own my worldview. Through community engagement and heartfelt conversations, I witnessed the value of spiritual community and saw that our faith is to be lived out in spiritual community and in the community of the world. IDMCi|uni surrounded me with friends who hold on to Kingdom values and point me to God's grand story, who show what it means to say no to the world and say yes to God. Unsure and anxious about where your story goes? Join us and flip the page boldly, because this story has a good ending.

I’ve always wanted to but never “had the time”, so I decided to sign up for IDMCi and intentionally set aside the time for God. Through IDMCi|uni, I grew in my understanding of the Word, learning more about the contexts, the meanings, not just for fun facts but in a way that really deepened my understanding of God’s Word and God. IDMCi|uni also challenged me to consider what I wanted to see (in my community, in my walk, in my daily life) and be intentional about it. That is something I am really trying to work on as I’m in uni now. And lastly, to commune with Him is a decision. A tough one. But if you seek the Father, you’ll find He is right next to you.

Before IDMCi|uni, I was serving actively in and out of church and I thought that I knew what my faith was all about. IDMCi|uni opened my eyes to see the amazing breadth and depth of the Bible, showed me examples of lives surrendered fully, and surrounded me with a Christ-like community. As I reflect on my experience months later, in uni, the way I live out my faith each day has changed: from the way I read my Bible, to how I interact with people around me. Join us, and come taste and see that the Lord is good!

Before entering the workforce, I made a huge decision to set aside 3 months of my time to attend IDMCi|uni. And I'm glad I signed up. Attending IDMCi|uni was the best 3 months of my life. During this time, I learnt so much new biblical knowledge, despite being a Christian for most of my life. It also helped to deepen my faith and brought me closer to God, as I realised I was far away from Him. Most importantly, I made very good friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, which would last forever. If you want to experience the best times of your life, join us and you would never regret it! Most importantly, where God leads, He would provide. See you there!

Coming out of two years in the wilderness of Canada, personal experiences mainly informed my knowledge of God. IDMCi|uni reinforced my faith intellectually — tracing the entire Biblical narrative, understanding the heart behind spiritual disciplines and so much more. IDMCi|uni also showed me that there’s nothing under the sun that God isn’t sovereign over. The question isn't whether your job or degree is relevant, but how can you steward your talents and the knowledge you acquire to unfold creation’s potential and bring us one step closer to the Biblical kingdom! Over a year later, it's a privilege to witness my IDMCi|uni batchmates passionately pursuing God and leading in campus ministries, in church and beyond.

Growing up as a second-gen Christian, I thought I knew the Christian life well. Yet, there were still doubts in my heart whether all of this Jesus hubbub was really true. IDMCi|uni challenged me to ask the difficult questions about faith and the world: fundamentally, why I call myself a Christian in a world that seems to offer more. But most of all, this course showed me that spiritual community is beautiful. Not because it is perfect, but because the coming together of brothers and sisters in Christ—who are vulnerable in their doubts, and sincere in their desire to love God and one another—reflects the communal love of a relational God.

"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." IDMCi|uni brought about a pivotal change in the way I viewed various aspects of Christianity—from diving into the word like never before, to reconciling the faith with various issues relevant to a pre-uni young adult. Having a more grounded faith brought about through the programme is crucial in your upcoming season of life, as you grapple with a multitude of intellectual and emotional challenges.

As a new Christian, I felt that there were a lack of opportunities for me to understand the fundamentals of our faith. IDMCi|uni was like a crash course for me — learning how we can seek God through different spiritual disciplines, unpacking our beliefs, and learning how to live out the faith. Reading the bible was very daunting, but not any more now!
There is truly so much one can do during the holiday. But looking back now, I would say joining IDMCi|uni was the best investment of my time. God’s presence was very real and I would say it really rekindled my fire for God :”) Now that I am in university, I realise that university is really where your faith is put to the test, where you will be pressurised to prioritise anything but God. IDMCi|uni really helped to ground my faith on the one solid rock that never fails.

NS was a disorienting season of personal setbacks for me, and God seemed so far away. But where I was far off, God brought me near in his mercy. IDMCi|uni set me on a journey to consider what it means to follow Jesus in all of life. Where I was double-minded before, I experienced the preciousness of community and the grace of wholeness and integrity, which I so longed for. Come and know God's story of redemption in the Old and New Testaments, and find it flowing off the pages into your work, school and life! Few things are more worth your time.
