Testimonials
"exciting and life giving"
"At Forest Grove Reformed Church, we have been blessed by Mike Gafa and the Luminex Group as we have been led through the Church Unique and God Dreams processes so we can gain that clarity as a ministry. Our team finds the processes exciting and life giving. We can't wait to see how God will use these processes through our church body!"
Rev. Daniel DeVries,
Lead Pastor, Forest Grove Reformed Church, Hudsonville MI
"Truly impressive"
"Voyage Church hired Luminex Group to facilitate a long-term visioning retreat for us while we are in the midst of a pastoral transition. Luminex did an excellent job listening, asking insightful questions, reinforcing us for our existing strengths and acknowledging some of our concerns. At the conclusion of the retreat, Luminex offered to draft a long-term vision statement. The draft was outstanding. Truly impressive. Luminex Group has my wholehearted endorsement."
Diane K. Anderson,
Elder, Voyage Church, Kalamazoo MI
"Very Worhwhile"
The entire 2-year Luminex Group process was very worthwhile, and I would highly recommend other churches and leaders engaging in it. The material and sessions are well done and pull together so many critical aspects of ministry. Having an external facilitator was so important – it removed biases, favoritism, clinging to current practices, etc., yet engaged the group and pulled us all together.

"I'm thankful"
"I've been a part of Hopkins Community Reformed Church my entire life, and this is by far the most excited I have been to be a part of HCC's plan, and by far the most confident I have ever been that we are following His plan. I'm thankful God brought Luminex Group to us. I'm thankful they had us go through the God Dreams retreat."
