Course Reviews
excellent teachings
It was just an amazing lesson to have attended. Nice demonstrations and teachings are easy to relate to. I have learnt a lot from this topic.
How Engaging scriptures has empowered me.
I recently enrolled for this course. I have always desired to learn in a deeper way matters of sound Biblical interpretation. Axx platform has given me that opportunity. Sitting under the tutelage and instruction of Matt Jarlett has helped reshape my thinking and approach to biblical truths especially proper and balanced interpretation. Exposure to introductory information about how the Bible transitioned from God all the way to the pages of Bible that we have today was really eye-opening and inspiring.
I now have a greater desire and hunger to learn more to build on that foundation. I am now assured of having a sound and balanced ability to correctly divide the word of truth to those I minister to.
It was a good course!
This short bible course helped me in some theological concepts of bible, learnt new things and it definitely helped me a lot in bringing clarity on many aspects.

Pastoral Ministry Review
The Pastoral Ministry course was a remarkable experience that has deepened my understanding of God’s word and His call upon my Life as a preacher.
The course has covered a wide range of topics, from biblical leadership principles,crossing cultures, sermon design and delivery,focusing on the main thing which is to tell the world of a King and His Kingdom.I appreciated the emphasis on developing a strong theological foundation as a leader. The course has equipped me with the knowledge,skills I lacked and I have more confidence to pursue my calling in pastoral ministry. I am truly impacted,blessed and transformed. Thanks to Axx Bible College,Remain blessed!

Community transformation
I think this session teaches me much about love and care which our Lord Jesus Christ practiced when He was on earth. He fed 5 thousand and He healed the sick, that was humanitarian and caring. We are also encouraged to do have mission of humanitarian and transform the communities to potray the love of Christ such as advocating for social Justice and helping the poor. Early christians are a good example to us , Acts 2:42-46.
Mission and God's rule
This was a very interesting session taught me about the call and my call in the mission of God. I was very challenged by the question;- what is world Christian? Which is to enlarge our hearts and vision and be committed to our father’s purpose for His world. Matthew 5:13 says; we are the light of the world. Matthew 28:19 also says; therefore go and make disciples of all nations, that is our father’s purpose.
Mission work
It has been an eye opener and I feel strongly charged to get out and do the will of God in the mission field.
