I learned a lot of TIG techniques from the teachers. I was struggling at first but improved by watching them and copying their techniques. Plus everyone is so positive, telling you that you can do it and cheering you on. Some days we got food and that was a blessing. The program is free and a lot of them do it out of the kindness of their hearts. They are all nice, sweet and patient. Before I came to the program, I was struggling. This program has given me hope and took some stress away, One of the main things I took from here is to put my trust in God and put God first. I'm super motivated and my mindset is different than when I arrived. The program was really fun and I'm grateful for that.

Today I'm a certified welder. I feel great, I feel wonderful. Amazing journey I just experienced, changed my whole life. I thank God for blessing me with this opportunity. I'm a convicted felon, lost hope, going through a lot of trauma in my life. I want to thank the teacher for their encouragement and motivation. I'm so thankful for the program.

I passed my TIG Stainless steel and MIG certification today. I'm so excited and feel the release of so much pressure. Each person who runs this program, donates to this program you've made me feel so blessed. This program not only made me learn about welding but brought me closer to God. My relationship with Him was so rocky. I've been through a miscarriage, hit rock bottom, experienced depression, quit my job and was hopeless. But I found ReIGNITE Hope. I knew it was an opportunity for me to grow closer to God and learn to weld - something I love to do.

I'm a graduate of ReIGNITE Hope. What a program. Started welding on the very first day. Teachers will take the time to help you and teach you. You get God. He'll be pulling at your heart. Maybe by the end of the program you'll get more than certified. May God keep blessing you.

Believe in yourself, believe in God which is most important. Give it all to Him. This program puts God first. If you have any doubts, get rid of them. You'll come out a way better person than when you first started the program.

A big accomplishment in my life thanks to the Lord and this program. I was just certified in MIG 3G and Stick 3F. I am in awe and very grateful. I spent some time in prison...more than a little bit. Heard about the class from a friend at Restoration Life Church at a time I needed hope and something to grasp onto. I was accepted into the program. It's been very positive, very supportive and I do believe that I have an opportunity to have a better life for myself and my family.

By the grace of God, I was certified in MIG 3G and Stick 3F. I feel awesome. I've been given another chance. Currently I am re-entering the community. Just out of prison 6-7 month ago. Heard about the program, applied and got accepted and here I am now a certified welder. It's a fast paced environment but felt welcome...it's a different feeling than I'm used to. I'm looking forward to getting a job in the union.

I've been a troubled youth since the age of 12, in and out of prison. Being around people who know the Lord helped me get sober and change my mentality. Been sober for two months. Gives me more hope. I got certified in MIG and Stick and look forward to starting a career and changing my life.

Before I got here, I was unemployed because of COVID. I was homeless with my two little girls. Never want to go through that again ever. The staff was so supportive on cert day and all throughout the program. I don't think I'd be where I'm at if I didn't have this great support system behind me. The Mobile Training Center is such a blessing.

Before I came here, I was incarcerated for 12 years since the age of 18. I want to make welding a career. This is just a start for me. I'm real thankful to the team and all the support. That's the main thing.

After 1 month, I'm a certified welder and am happy about that. I'm not from around here. I'm not sure how I made it this far. Something drew me to this school. It's only about this school that I moved out here. I'm living in my camper down the street just so I can get this opportunity. I didn't know this place would open my heart, not just about welding. I was in prison for 5 years. I didn't know how important it was to be at one with God. More than the certification; I'm happy now. Thank you for all the love you gave me. You guys are amazing.

I feel good. I want to get a better job now and support my family. I'm real excited, I got my certs today. It was a blessing to watch people getting prayed for and saved during the class. I was a drug addict for 15 years of my life. Clean now for 9 years. I never relapsed. Thank God. Glory to Him.
