If you’ve ever sat with a notebook open or stared at the ceiling at night thinking, What is God’s plan for my life? You’re not alone. That question isn’t a sign you’re behind. It’s often a sign you’re hungry. And if we’re going to help lead the next generation, it starts with people like you who want to know what God thinks and want to obey Him.
Here’s the thing: Hunger is real, but clarity can feel just out of reach. You might love Jesus, trust in the Lord, read your Bible, even serve faithfully—yet still wonder, Am I hearing Him? Am I making this up? What if I miss it?
That’s the tension. You don’t want a “good idea.” You want God’s idea. That’s God’s plan.
Edward Garcia Has Been There Before
This is where Edward Garcia’s story is so encouraging—not because he has a perfect life, but because he learned how to follow the Lord one step at a time.
Edward came to Kenneth Copeland Bible College (KCBC) from Austin, Texas, with a simple desire: to know God more. KCBC wasn’t even his original plan. He had other schools he was interested in. But then he took a campus tour, and something happened that’s hard to explain unless you’ve experienced it: The Holy Spirit settled any guessing inside him.
Not pressure and not hype. Just that steady inward witness, the kind of peace that doesn’t scream, but it doesn’t go away either. The kind that makes you realize, Oh, the Lord is leading me.
That’s what finding God’s plan is like. He’s not trying to play keep-away with His will. He’s a good Father. He knows how to lead you—patiently, clearly and faithfully.
The Problem You’re Facing
So here you are, wanting to do the right thing to live in God’s plan for your life, but maybe you’re holding a handful of options and wondering which one is Him. You want to be brave, you want to trust in the Lord, but you don’t want to be reckless. You want to move forward, but you want to move forward with God.
And underneath all of that is something deeply personal: I don’t just want to be useful. I want to be obedient.
That desire matters to the Lord more than you know.
You Need a Plan, Not a Pep Talk
If Edward’s story resonates with you, you’re likely looking for a plan, not a pep talk. Here’s the simple plan: Put yourself in a place where God can speak, confirm, and strengthen you.
KCBC becomes that plan for many people, in three practical ways:
- Get close enough to hear Him clearly
Sometimes clarity isn’t missing because God is silent—it’s missing because we’re surrounded by noise. When you step into an environment built around the Word and the presence of God, it becomes easier to recognize His voice and trust His peace. - Learn to put “handles” on what you believe
Edward describes his KCBC experience as “helping turn truths that once felt vague into something I could actually live.” He learned how to take one Word from God, stand on it, and walk it out “using faith like a mechanic uses a tool,” said Edward. That’s not just inspiring; it’s usable as you walk in God’s plan. - Move forward with confirmation, not confusion
After graduation, Edward didn’t just guess his way into the next season. God showed him his next step through a vision, and Edward did something wise—he asked for scripture to confirm it.
Edward wanted two or three verses before making a major decision. The Lord gave him three. Today, Edward is exactly where God showed him that he would be. He serves as a Young Adult and Online Campus Pastor at Eagle Mountain International Church (EMIC) and helps with EMIC evangelism initiatives.
What Success Looks Like for You
Each student who attends Kenneth Copeland Bible College discovers their mission statement as part of the graduation process. That personal mission statement serves as a guidepost as alumni navigate God’s plan for their lives post-graduation. Edward’s mission is to “saturate the world with God’s glory through teaching, preaching and healing.” The bigger takeaway that Edward wants everyone to know is that, “God wants to use you to establish His covenant in your generation, not in some distant future, not when you feel ‘ready’ but in your generation.”
God doesn’t only pick the people who look impressive on paper. “Looking back at where I started keeps me in awe that He will use anyone who has a hungry and obedient heart for Him.” Wherever you’re starting from, God’s plan can meet you there—and lead you into the plan He’s had for you all along.
“KCBC taught me that every person can be a voice for God.”

Your Next Step
If you feel that tug in your heart—if you’re hungry for God’s plan, if you’re curious, if you’re quietly hoping God will make things clear—don’t brush it off. Give the Lord space to confirm what He’s saying.
KCBC Campus Days are happening March 26–28. Visit and walk the campus. Ask the questions you’ve been carrying. Sit in the atmosphere and let the Holy Spirit do what He does so well: lead you with peace.
If you’re ready to take a real next step, make plans to be there and come expecting God to speak.
Take it from someone who’s been in your shoes before, seeking God’s plan and desiring to trust in the Lord. “No matter where He has me placed now,” said Edward, “I know with 100% confidence that I can reach any and every person He calls me to minister to and minister with.”
