"I originally decided to take the Leading Edge program because I wanted my first year to have hands-on ministry opportunities alongside of my studies. I can say that I got more than I could have ever hoped for! I was able to break out of my comfort zone and take hold of the bigger and better things God had planned for my life. It was through the leadership opportunities offered in Leading Edge that truly encouraged me to pursue student leadership at Tyndale in my second year. Leading Edge is unique because each person in the program has the same classes and you are also able to do outreach ministry together as a team. Both of these aspects are major bonuses when starting off in a new place! If you are considering taking this program, I can"t imagine a better way to start off your university life at Tyndale!"

"The Leading Edge program helped shape my academic worldview as well as my personal spiritual life in ways beyond what I could have imagined. I appreciated the well-rounded academic aspect as it gave me a taste of all the different majors available to a liberal arts student at Tyndale, making it much easier to choose a major. The Leading Edge program has been a major blessing for me and I"d recommend it to anyone who is unsure about their academic future — LE is the place to figure that stuff out!"

"Leading Edge has been a rewarding experience - from my classes to all the new relationships that have been formed. We have been able to grow together spiritually by studying, praying, and by just having fun together. Being in the Leading Edge program has given me a sense of direction and guided me to where I believe God wants me to be."

 - Rebecca Purnwasie, Leading Edge '07 student

"Leading Edge was both an enriching and formative year, acting as a launch pad for my undergraduate studies. Throughout the year God broadened my cultural perspective and infused in me a passion for missions. Our trip to Camden, New Jersey was unbelievable! In short, Leading Edge has left lasting imprints - through friends, laughs, and life"s many lessons."

"Leading Edge was an incredible start to my university career. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to participate in such a unique educational experience. By far the best experience of the year for me was our trip to Camden, New Jersey. Through this trip God opened my eyes to some of the injustices in our world and stirred in me a passion for missions. Leading Edge provided me with life lessons, friends, and memories that will last a life time. I can think of no better way that I could have started of my university experience."
