Hear From Our Students
"God is activating something NEW in my spirit"
"Wow! This course was meaty and packed with tons of knowledge. I believe this course has rounded out my understanding of the foundations (doctrines) of our faith. I believe this course will help me better to:
1. lead others to Jesus and explain thoroughly the principles of salvation and God's Kingdom, and
2. and help newer believers understand all that they have received when they made the choice to give their lives to Jesus."
Lisa Lane
"this information has been tremendous"
"All this information has been tremendous. Some of which I put in application right away as I began to recognize what the issues were. This course [Removing Blockages to Transformation] gave name to some things that I did not have a name for. I will apply what I have gleaned in ministry when teaching and counseling and in everyday life by remembering that we all are dealing with some kind of oppression and in prayer by asking the Lord to reveal what spirit is at work and show me how to pray against it."
