DLA articulates God's affection for students, which empowers them to desire a lifestyle of holiness and prayer. This program helps young people realize they are able to love and serve God with fervency even from their youth.
John and Lisa Bevere - Authors, Speakers, Founders of Messenger International
We're excited about what God is doing through DLA. How awesome that these college students are laying down their lives in prayer, discipline of the Word, and intercession, when others are spending this season wastefully. Jesus said to "go and make disciples of all nations." Discipleship is not accomplished by attending church or Bible school. It is accomplished by spending time with people 24 hours a day, seven days a week. DLA is a program I highly endorse, as it will bring impartation into your life to fulfill your destiny in Christ.
Aaron Stern - College Pastor, theMILL
The Church needs leaders who serve God wholeheartedly, live sacrificially, proclaim His fame boldly, and finish well. So join DLA and don't miss this chance to cultivate these core leadership tenets and prepare for your future!
Jon Egan - Desperation Band
I love this program. These are the kinds of young people God is looking for to spread salvation all over the earth. It's happening!
Glenn Packiam - Associate Worship Pastor, New Life School of Worship Director
This is the best program I know of that helps young people get filled up with the power and presence of God and take it into their spheres of influence.
Jared Anderson - Desperation Band
DLA prayer meetings are THE place for power encounters with God.
Matt & Dana Candler - Authors, International House of Prayer
Amidst a generation infiltrated with every kind of entertainment and every pull toward earthly pleasure, a community of college-age men and women called the Furnace seek to live counter to their culture and to love Jesus with radical lifestyles of prayer, fasting and abandonment to God.
Brent Parsley - One Chapel Youth Pastor
The young leaders coming out of DLA are passionate for God and focused on fulfilling the purposes of God in their generation.
Fred Markert - Missiologist, Youth With A Mission
As a global Christian strategist, I genuinely believe that every Christian High School graduate should spend at least one year in an intensive Christian discipleship and internship program like DLA before going onto university or into the marketplace. I think it's the most important thing any Christian young person can do with their lives. Their persistent hours in prayer open the door for power encounters with God and ministry. These students possess an uncommon maturity and spiritual passion that makes them effective in service. If you want God to use you to make a measurable impact in reaching the planet, get started in DLA!

God has NOT called you to be average or bored or aimless. Rather, the Christian life should be a meaningful extraordinary and thrilling experience. I challenge you to consider this program and with it, the opportunity to begin the adventure of a lifetime.
