“I attended Jubilee in February 2011 and, much as the theme suggested, it changed everything. I can confidently say my life was completely changed as a result of the decisions I made during and after attending Jubilee 2011.”

“The Jubilee conference was one of the first times that I realized I didn’t need to be in ministry in order to do ministry. Jubilee helped me understand that faith is an everyday, 24-hour thing, and is not just about going to church and studying the Bible. I need to live out my faith in everything I do.”

“The CCO has shaped every area of my Christian walk from birth on. Working for the CCO was the most formative part of my life and faith journey—the teaching, training, and fellowship of CCO staff, and the application of that learning was a catalyst for stretching me and accelerating my growth as a follower of Jesus beyond my wildest dreams.”

“[My CCO staff member] Nancy probably had the greatest impact of any person in my life regarding growing in my faith and having a solid desire to understand Scripture and relate it to life. [The Jubilee conference] began a different journey for me, integrating my faith with everything, and seeing God’s redemption in all areas of life.”

“What the CCO really did for my life was to change my perspective to what I like to think of as the ‘Seven Day Jesus.’ I realized that faith cannot be disconnected from my daily life; it must be directing my every decision, otherwise, do I really trust in GOD and his plan for my life?”

“The CCO helped me continue on with my faith walk and allowed me to integrate my faith into the real world and not do what most people do, keeping them in separate compartments. I have to thank Mike for consistently encouraging me—forcefully at times!—to continue in my faith and see the potential I have in life and in God’s Kingdom.”

“My time as a student involved with the CCO influences what I do today because it has truly made me cherish my calling from God as a registered nurse. The CCO has inspired me to live my Christian faith in every area of life.”

“I don’t know if there’s ever a time of faith equivalent to the college years,” says Brett Latta. “Life presents plenty of forks in the road, and when you’re in college, there are more forks than at any other time. I think that’s why the CCO is so key. I had good parents and a [...]

“College was a defining period of my life, when my faith and my commitment to Christ became very concrete. Spending time with Rodney and being a part of [the CCO ministry] STAND helped me move Christianity from being something I believed to something I really knew.”

“Jubilee was a huge turning point in my search for answers about my faith. For the first time, I was able to sincerely sing worship songs, and I loved the breakout sessions. I soaked up the different speakers’ every word! About two weeks later, I accepted Christ during a quiet time, reading the book of John.”
