That is a mission field, and should be our number one mission field, because we are discovering that young men and women who come out of youth groups, good families and churches are losing their faith when they get on college campuses.” Charles Colson Author and Founder of Prison Fellowship “In the battle being waged for the hearts and minds of young people today, it is essential that they be grounded in their faith and learn to ‘think Christianly’. Anchorsaway is one of the best programs I’ve seen that not only equips students to understand our times, but also to impact our culture through biblical Christian worldview.” Dr. David A. Noebel Author, Worldviews in Collision “I can’t tell you how thrilled I am about the Anchorsaway ministry. It proves that everyday adults can teach a worldview class in their home and keeps kids on the edge of their seats. I’ve been teaching worldview and developing worldview curriculum for 15 years, but I’ve never seen anything like Anchorsaway for having a life-on-life impact on young people. I can’t wait to host an Anchorsaway group in my own home.” Dr. Jeff Myers President, Summit Ministries

What  is  Anchorsaway?

“There are so many kids out there who either lose their faith or walk away from God while they’re at college. It’s sad to see. What my generation needs right now isn’t the next big party on the weekend, we need a worldview. Nancy’s oriented the Anchorsaway training so we’ll have an anchor when the world and the seas start getting rough.”John Harmer, graduate of Anchorsaway
