Carol Davis, formerly with the Church on Brady in Los Angeles, California, concluded that "the Next Generation Series addresses a crying need that parents have to be more intentional regarding not only college and career decisions but integrating this with a spiritual on the world of work for high school students."

Debbie Woolery , a local Precepts facilitator in Mid Michigan indicated that "...the materials on being "one with the Father" have not only been life transforming for many women from among the 60+ women exposed to John 12-17, but it has been life transforming for myself."

Acey Martin, the Student Minister for Mt. Pleasant Community Church in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan stated that "...Their youth ministry has moved from a pilot program in 2002-2003 to using the "Next Generation" material with parents as the first major step in a customized one-to-one mentoring program for high school students in their growing church of 1,000.

Thom Wolf, formerly the Director of the Kim School of Cross Cultural Studies at Golden Gate Seminary and now President of University Institute in Chaing Mai, Thailand "...agreed to include his material on the Universal Discipe in the Next Generation Series because it provided Christ's perspective on the relationship with the Father for youth prior to an exposure to Colossians 1-4."

Highlights of Their Materials

• In the fall, 1985, at the request of some student-athletes at Jason's high school, we began conducting ½ day workshops for college-bound student-athletes and their parents on the college football recruiting process.  This continued during Jason’s years in college and beyond.

• In 1988, Jason received his football scholarship and began his football career at Central Michigan University after being rejected by four other universities with all the frustration and depression that rejection brings.  It turned out to be the best place for him to play and provided great involvement with an athletic director and the NCAA.

• In 1991, Jason received an invitation to make a ½ hour presentation to a presidential commission of twenty presidents entitled the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.  They met in Washington, D.C. and invited athletic directors, coaches and seven All-American athletes or Olympians to speak.  In addition, they invited Jason Wilkie, who was a reserve defensive tackle at the time, to speak.  The Director of the Commission told a Detroit Free Press reporter that Jason was invited because of his expertise on college athletic recruiting reflected in the booklet he wrote and the workshops that he has conducted.

• In 1992, Jason is invited to be a member of the NCAA's relatively new Student-Athlete Advisory Committee meeting quarterly to initiate as well as react to potential changes in NCAA legislation and rules as they affect student-athletes.  Jason served on this committee and several special committees for the next five years.

• In 1992, Jason and Bill Wilkie wrote the college-bound workbook for students as well as a complete 55 page parent manual entitled "Empowering Teens ."  They began conducting workshops in Michigan that same year.

• In 2001, the Wilkie’s introduced a new WWW site that provides an "e" workbook for student-athletes, college-bound students and a "College Financing" manual for parents.  Formerly, this information had only been available through the regional workshops that they offered personally since 1985.

• In 2002, the Miami Herald quoted Bill Wilkie extensively on the issue of elite athletes and their decision processes just before signing.  See article: "Recruiters Put a Blitz on Kids."

• In 2002, the Wilkies introduced a third www site on Empowering Teens @ www.next-generation-series.com focusing on finding purpose and reducing aimlessness for high school students.

Concerned parents who take the initiative and learn how to influence this difficult transition period seem to get better results.  These parents know that it is their student's future that is at stake.
