The following quotes have been taken from personal thank you letters written to CGF staff and/or supporters by individuals who have been impacted by this organization:
“You have really made an impact in my life these past couple years, and I wanted to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into the U.C. Davis golf team and especially my walk with God. You have helped me grow in so many ways. I am so thankful to have someone like you in my life—so strong in knowledge and full of love. You are a huge blessing to many people and your witness has had a huge impact on my life.”
– Jason (U.C. Davis)
“I was already a believer before I came to the CGF conference, but I was shown that really believing the truth, the whole truth, means that I need to recommit my life to God.”
– Erik (UCLA)
“The CGF conference opened my eyes to the Christian faith and was an inspiration that will stick with me for a long time. I know that what I learned and the people I formed relationships with will continue to impact my life for years to come.”
– Chris (LSU)
“CGF has meant so much to me over the years, as God has transformed my mind since being involved with the ministry. Before I put my faith Christ, I used to think the Christian life would be boring. But after I met Brad Payne, Stephen Bunn, and Steve Burdick and went to my first CGF conference, I quickly learned how wrong I was. I have now been a believer for over three years, and I know I owe it all to God, but He has used CGF as His strongest tool in my life.”
– Adam (T.C.U. graduate)
“I left [the conference] renewed and excited to live out the Christian life…we learned what it looks like to be men of Christ and to live with courage and strength in reaching out to the world.”
– Dan (Indiana University)
“I’ve finally realized that having my happiness being based on things like golf, girls, and friends is not the best way to live. It comes and goes and I am getting sick of the roller coaster ride. I really want to start reading more of the Bible and learn more in general about God.”
– Greg (U.C. Santa Barbara)
“I can honestly say that this experience [at the CGF conference] has changed my life. I have a renewed passion to walk closer with Christ and live according to [His] Word.”
– Kyle (Xavier University)
“I met some really strong Christians who were able to open my eyes to the truth and show me a good example of a strong, faithful follower [of Christ]. I’ve realized now that just being a good person isn’t enough, it’s not even close to enough.”
– Jon (Lindenwood University)
“I was not a believer in God before [the CGF conference], but College Golf Fellowship has helped me understand how great God is and how much He loves me.”
– David (San Jose St.)
“I placed my trust in Christ two years ago after attending a CGF conference. This ministry has impacted my life in more ways than I ever thought possible. Learning, exploring, and living a Christian life is something that I am now excited about. I used to think that I only needed God in hard times…but this ministry has helped me want Christ in my life every day.”
– Jimmy (Steven F. Austin University)
“This week [at the CGF conference], I learned about how God has a purpose for taking us through trying times. I learned that He molds and shapes my character through these times. I also realized that I need to strive for greater discipline in all walks of my life to be more of the man God wants me to be.”
– Justin (San Jose St.)
“CGF has had such an influence in my life and I wouldn’t know where I would be without the guidance and friendship that I have had since my first conference in 2003.”
– David (T.C.U.)
“This was my first CGF conference, and I was looking to explore more about God and understand the Bible more…The most important thing I have learned is that Jesus gave his life for us.”
– Chris (UNC Pembroke)
“I have never really known what I wanted to do with my life. All I've ever known is that I want to make an impact on other people’s lives…similar to the impact you and everyone else at CGF have had on me. With that being said I'm leaning towards teaching and coaching, preferably on the college level. I figure there is no greater way to impact people’s lives, especially young people, than by being a teacher and/or a coach. You and everyone at CGF have had a profound impact on my life and I am eternally grateful for everything you've done and continue to do.”
– Spencer (Steven F. Austin University)
