"All we need to do is let God love us and let Him love others through us. That's all.” - Kevin Hughes, Senior
At KA, we're always looking for ways to inspire courageous lives of personal holiness, virtue, and wisdom. One of our favorite ways to do this is through "Witness Wednesday," where we invite guests to share how the Lord is working in their lives. But this year, on the first Wednesday of the school year, we did something a little different. Instead of bringing in an outside speaker, we opened the floor to our upper school students, asking if anyone wanted to share what the Lord had put on their hearts over the summer.
The conviction and faith it takes to stand up in front of your peers and share something so personal is a beautiful act of evangelization—and it starts right here, with your friends.These courageous students are living examples of what it means to witness Christ’s love and inspire each other to grow in faith.
Here are some of the powerful testimonies shared by our upperclassmen, offering encouragement and wisdom to their peers.
You need him in everything you do. Power comes from God, not from us, so be selfless and pursue God first." - Quismah Body, Freshman
"Do you know someone who always seems joyful? Chances are, they rely on God. Depend on the Lord, and you will have joy." - Ben Touhill, Senior
"Do not be afraid to sit quietly in your room and pray. Meditate on God's love."
- Lukas Wormack, Sophomore
"God made you as you are for a reason, whether you're loud, quiet, funny, serious— be holy by being yourself."
- Ronnie Niemeyer, Junior
"Be grateful for God and His love!"
- Shiloh Hodges, Senior
"Do not be afraid to be specific in prayer. Be real, be intentional in what you ask for or pray for."
- Maria Mastriano, Sophomore
"We are the Church militant, an army for God. When we get to Heaven, God will ask us, 'Who did you bring with you?' Our job is to sanctify those around us, to live a life of Christ with others rather than trying on our own."
- Joe Hardy, Senior
