"INITIATIVE is one of our cities' key catalyst in bringing together young adults to impact our city in positive ways for the gospel. They have worked to unleash a generation of young adults with a passion for Christ and a passion for the city. Our city is better and has a brighter future because of them."
Bryan Carter, Concord Church
"Everybody's trying to figure out how to advance the Gospel in this generation, while INITIATIVE is doing it. I've been privileged to come alongside a group of young leaders who are simply following the ways of Jesus. This network is ablaze with the glory of Christ."
Dr. Jeff Warren, Park Cities Baptist Church
"Young adults are critical to the success of any movement and especially for the long-term sustainability of an organization or even a city. I am excited about what God is doing through this exceptional group of young adult leaders and their desire to make a difference for His Kingdom!"
Froswa-Booker Drew, Writer/Speaker
"The Lord has used INITIATIVE to connect the local church in Dallas to one another and to motivate young adults towards faithfulness. Our church has been blessed by what the Lord is doing through INITIATIVE and we are grateful to see the Lord using this ministry strategically to help the Church bring glory to God by seeking the transformation of our city."
Steve Hardin, The Village Church
"The success of any local church is measured by successors. The Gospel never changes but it changes clothes in every generation. That’s why I am so supportive of INITIATIVE. The leaders of INITIATIVE are unafraid to explore off the map and chart a bold course for the next generation of church leaders to impact our city for Jesus Christ."
Gary Brandenburg, Fellowship Bible
"When passion, hope, and faith come together, you get INITIATIVE. This group has a leadership style that weaves a community together for a stronger purpose. Through words, gestures, and a lot of heart, this group engages young communities and changes lives in a profound way."
Shelly Slater, WFAA News Anchor
"What these young leaders have created is remarkable - INITIATIVE channels the passion, purpose, and aptitude of a ready and willing group of believers to live out the gospel in our works as opposed to just our words. I consider myself blessed to witness this powerful exemplar of God's love inspiring a generation to act."
Byron Sanders, Millennial Entrepreneur
"It's amazing to see how God has used INITIATVE to raise up a whole new generation of servant leaders who are passionate about serving our city and the global church. When you partner with INITIATVE you are connecting with passionate, visionary, and magnetic leaders who are capable of mobilizing effective and capable teams to help lead your efforts."
Kevin Batista, First Baptist Dallas
"The courageous leadership of the Initiative Network has created a vibrant community of young Christians that are on mission with spreading the message of hope found in the person of Jesus. I'm very expectant for what God will do in and through them in the years to come, here in Dallas and around the world."
Oscar Castillo, Watermark Community Church
"We recently had Grant Skeldon speak to our company. I was immediately impressed with the wisdom he shared and the mission of INITIATIVE. Our team members enjoyed the authenticity of their group. We left challenged, inspired and equipped to better connect with the largest and most influential group in American history."
Tyler Reeves, Interstate Batteries
"INITIATIVE recognizes that almost all great spiritual movements are started by leaders under 30 years of age. This is a critical platform to identify and mobilize the leaders for the current gospel movements in our cities. Every city needs an INITIATIVE type effort to harness the passion of younger leaders in an intelligent, collaborative way."
Mac Pier, Movement Day
"The Lord is working in and through Initiative to wake up the church to pray, to share Jesus in word and deed, and to reach the next generation for Christ. Initiative is part of God's plan to bring transformation to our city. We, as the body of Christ need to listen to them, to support them, and to welcome them."
Carrie Boren Headington, Episcopal Diocese
"INITIATIVE is impacting millennials in their walk with the Lord by encouraging them to be participants, and not spectators. They encourage these young adults to be active in living out their faith, thus transforming their communities in which they live. I am proud to partner with them in raising up the next generation of leaders in the Body of Christ."
Chad Hennings, Wingmen Ministries
God is using INITIATIVE to turn the city upside down. Through networking, discipling, equipping, and mobilizing, INITIATIVE is unleashing the next generation to be marketplace missionaries for the sake of Christ. This movement has as much potential to change the world as any I have ever seen. I am personally excited to witness how God will use this network for His glory!
