Being a facilitator in the team

06/05/2025

This lesson has helped me to understand that I have a very important role to play in a team. It is necessary to know the people with whom I am dealing. I should understand their behavior and personality. I should be ready to listen to their feelings and their challenges bring a solution their problem. The membres of a team should work towards the same goal.

I thank God for this course.

May God bless the lecturers and the Axx Bible College.

This session was very impacting and illuminating at the same time. I used to just read the Bible and teach but now I have a broader understanding of every passage in this book especially how apostles we leading and serving God, and how the Holy Spirit was operating and how they rely and obey the Holy Spirit. There is also an example of seven leaders who were chosen not because of their wealth or education but because they were full of the Holy Spirit, which shows the importance of the Holy Spirit in leadership.

Testimony for Advanced Certification of Ministry Leadership

06/20/2025

I am grateful to have completed the Advanced Certification of Ministry Leadership course. This transformative experience has profoundly impacted my understanding of effective ministry and leadership.

Throughout the course, I was challenged to think critically about my role in ministry. The curriculum was comprehensive, blending theological insights with practical leadership skills. I particularly appreciated the interactive discussions, which allowed me to learn from both instructors and fellow participants.

One of the most valuable aspects was the emphasis on servant leadership. This principle has reshaped my approach, reminding me that leadership in ministry is about uplifting others and fostering a supportive community. The case studies and real-world applications provided me with tools to navigate the complexities of church leadership with confidence.

I feel equipped and inspired to implement what I have learned in my ministry. I am excited to apply these principles in my community, enhancing our outreach and deepening our spiritual engagement.

Thank you to the instructors for their support and encouragement throughout this journey. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to advance their leadership skills in ministry.

I sincerely commend the management of the institute/bible college for the efforts and work put into the study.

my experience in the Advanced Certification of Ministry Leadership had been quite adventurous, every lecture keeps me asking for more, always looking for time to get back to the class.

The lecturers, though more advanced in age (which is plus for me), where very great in there delivery, all had relevant experiences as they lecture.

The guest/special interviews done during the modules is highly commendable.

I pray that the Lord Jesus continue to empower the leadership of the Institute for greater works in Jesus name, amen.

I blessed and honoured to attend a Bible centred advanced leadership program that is so wide,unique and practical in our day to day church/ministry activities as opposed to other programs that provide a body of leadership knowledge without looking at its applicability on the ground.

It is indeed a renowned qualification with a difference.

It will go a long way in assisting me fulfil God’s calling on my life and assist me be effective in teams,church and ministry, and has also improved my personal life.

I am now poised with this knowledge to assist fill where our church/ministry lacked capacity and to take more responsibilities in addition to being Secretary and Treasurer of my church here in Blantyre,Malawi.

It is a strong qualification with a unique and effective way learning. I am very hopeful that my church will entrust me with even greater responsibilities due to this qualification.
