Here are some notes from TEENAGERS:

  • "Thanks for making such a wonderful website organization that helps people grow in faith and in their relationship with God. I have learned so much through these lessons. I’ve learnt the best way to tell people about Jesus, how to deal with various situations teens face, and most importantly my relationship with God has grown significantly." (16-year-old online)

  • "Thanks for all the lessons and study papers. It always refills my Christian IV."

  • "The thing I love most about these online lessons is that they are so convenient! I can do them whenever I want to and I can go at my own rate."

  • "I love the lessons and I’m growing closer to God."

  • "I have really enjoyed the "Majoring in Life" lessons that I have been receiving recently! They have been really helpful in just the different situations that I am facing." (19-year-old)

  • "Well, I was really excited to read this lesson. For a long time I wanted to be a happy Christian but it seemed that I didn’t know how. I have been blessed through this lesson and want to apply it to my life."

  • "It was strange how the answers to my questions were found in these two lessons I received! As I read I was filled with such an awesome feeling. It even made me weep."

  • "The first chapter [of a book we sent, Majoring in Life] has truly opened my eyes and made me realize what matters most in life. Life without Jesus is no life at all." (19-year-old girl)

  • "I’m really enjoying these lessons! They each teach me valuable information that will be beneficial in my future…" (15-year-old boy)

  • "Sometimes I feel a bit awkward because I feel like I’m the only person without a boyfriend, but these lessons are helping me! Jesus will always be my one true love, even when I find my husband!!" (15-year-old girl)

  • "The last lesson I received came right when I needed it… It was on being lonely and not having friends when you’re in a new place away from all you know… Thank you for putting out these lessons."

  • "I am writing you this letter in order to thank you for what you have done in my life and that of my family. I can see my sister growing in the knowledge of Christ because of your lessons. I have had my own experiences where I have “leaned” back on your lessons in order to stay strong… The only reason I am still a Christian today would be by all the Bible verses I have read and memorized through the David and Jonathan organization… I thank you David and Jonathan for instilling these verses deep into my heart so that when I needed them most I could recall them. I praise God for your organization." (15-year-old)

  • "I really enjoy your program. It’s the best thing that has happened to me because I get to learn about God and enhance my faith. Whenever I see your letter in the mail I get so excited." (14-year-old)

  • "This lesson was really great. Lately, at church and youth group I have been learning about forgiveness. This lesson just brought that back up. I think this is God telling me that something is not right, that I need to forgive and forget. I find it hard but I will ask God to give me strength. This series was really amazing. I learned so much. I really think if someone unsaved came on the internet and was just browsing around and looked at any of your lessons that through the Spirit of God they would get saved. This series was incredible and I enjoyed learning all the way through." (16-year-old online)

  • "I am 13 yrs. old and I became a Christian 3 yrs ago at camp. I love camp! I especially love my connection with God while I'm there. But I feel like as soon as I leave camp I lose that special connection and I feel very far apart from God. I realized that there had to be something to keep me learning and in touch with God while I'm not at camp. It took me 3 years, but I finally found it, it's David and Jonathan. This year as I'm going back to school I'm not leaving God behind. I finally found a way to keep Him with me and I have David & Jonathan to thank for that."
  • "I'd just like to thank you again for these lessons, they really help me out in life. They have helped me to say NO to peer pressure..."
  • "I enjoy doing lessons because it sets a path out for my confusing teen-age life."
  • "I just want to take this opportunity to thank you. I'm not sure if you realize how much you have invested into my life. I've been doing lessons for at least 5 yrs of the most challenging time of a young person's life, the "teenage time"... When I'm in certain situations I've been able to say, "No, this isn't right. I know in my heart this isn't God's best and I refuse to compromise because I know God's got better." ...And I was asking God, "Why is it that I feel like I know so much more than most young people my age?" I've realized now that it's the foundation of my life, the stability I have standing on God's Word. I know I didn't develop this stability on my own... you guys built something in my life that no attack or temptation will be big enough to destroy."
  • "I'd just like to thank you people for printing and sending me, My Parents are Bugging Me! [a Timely Topic for Teens lesson] It helped me a lot, and it surprised me that most of the lessons directly applied to my life."
  • "Wow! I really enjoyed this book! ...From this book, I learned never to give up, but to keep trusting the Lord. It really encouraged me to go through to become a missionary, and to become a missionary in my own community today."
  • "I have learned that dating isn't based on sex, it's getting to know each other when searching for a mate. Love is a commitment, not a feeling or sex. When the time comes for me to date, I'm not going to ruin it by having sex. I've made up my mind with the help of this course to wait until marriage."
  • "Thank you for this lesson. It is just what I needed to give me a push in the right direction."
  • "I want to thank you for the book I just received. I have looked at plenty of books on divorce and can say that this was the only one that has helped me. My parents separated when I was only 5 years old, so I didn't have many questions and it really didn't hit me until this year, 10 years later... This book... showed me that I'm not the only one with these feelings and all this pain."
  • "I just wanted to write and thank you from the bottom of my heart for sending me this lesson. I know you cannot see into my heart, but this lesson seemed to see into my heart and grab it!"
  • "My next lesson came just in time! I had been dating a 16 yr. old guy and he was starting to put pressure on me to have sex with him. When I got the lesson I read it through and realized I needed to make some changes before it was too late."
  • "I just wanted to thank you for the scholarship you sent me [for Bible college]. I'm really enjoying myself here. I have never before realized that a place like this could exist."

I appreciate so much the positive input these lessons are in the girls’ lives."

Our older ones are in High School and facing a lot of pressures. Your lessons are a source of helping them stay on the straight and narrow. One of our children went to camp this past summer using your camp coupons. He was able to take a friend along who is not raised in a Christian home."

Thank you for your impact!!" (21-year-old girl)

I try to lead the children as David did and I am proud to say the lessons I am using from your site has been a big help as Jonathan was to David.
