Testimonials
""Don't Buck the Process!"
Don't buck the process... Don't get offended at the process... Don't throw in the towel during the process... Don't murmur and complain about the process... Don't cause the process to cause you to look for somewhere else to go... For in the process, you are being prepared for a heavier weight of His glory!
— Pastor Ken Claytor, SOFBI Alumni & Senior Pastor of Alive Church (Gainesville, FL)

"I encourage you to join SOFBI"
SOFBI has truly impacted my life. I am so glad to be a graduate... it has been worth it! I have been able to transform areas of ministry. I have been able to apply the principles to my own life. I have truly become a better servant and we know that the word of God tells us great is the one who serves and so I am just so proud to be a part of this and I would encourage anyone else who wants to grow in their spiritual life and grow in life in general because we know it’s not about the 4 walls but it’s about what you do outside the building so I encourage you to join us SOFBI and be a graduate, just like me!

"No One Can Back Me Down"
In all these places where I'm able to share the love of Christ on a day-to-day basis, the training in SOFBI has truly helped me with my boldness and with my confidence because, when I know the Word, no one can back me down. There's no fear here because I'm strong and confident and bold in what I believe!
