 TESTIMONIES

Tina Halalilo (Auckland, 2021 & 2022)

I completed two years at Equippers College (Certificate & Diploma), with the intention that I would only develop more in my craft and creativity. However, I gained far more knowledge than just an understanding of my craft.

I discovered a deeper biblical understanding that has anchored me, and a greater appreciation for God’s gracious character. This has moulded me and helped me discover my leadership calling, giving me the tools I need for ministry and daily life!

Levi McMillan (Auckland, 2020 & 2021)

When I came to Equippers College, I believed that I would be equipped and grow in my creative skills with a hope to use them to build God’s Kingdom, but God definitely exceeded those expectations.

He revealed to me old dreams that had been buried, new skills and gifts that have opened so many doors outside of College. In learning more about myself, I have been able to discover more of what I love, what I’m good at and what I believe is my God-given calling. I’m really thankful for this environment.

Josh Huirua (Auckland, 2016)

Josh Huirua (Auckland, 2016)

I've always felt a strong call to build God's house and kingdom and grew up growing my gifts and passion in worship and creativity. 

But God did something unexpected, He helped me see my leadership potential and placed a compassion in me for people, which has been the catalyst for what I'm now doing in ministry.
