PROPHET EDWIN
It was really a blessing and growth moment..
The course was very insightful and beneficial
Introduction to Biblical Narrative is a very insightful and beneficial course. I will strongly recommend for all pastors (especially new pastors). It was interesting to learn about the former and the latter prophets and how they use narratives, poems, oracles to depict, interpret, and/or express the major historical and religious events of their day, in an effort to convince the Israelites to adopt a lifestyle that was in keeping with the will of YHWH (God).
The course was well organized and logically structured. The instructor teaching method was excellent – In this course, he clearly defined and/or explained the concepts – he enables the student to understand that, though different, the old and New Testament complement one another. The Old Testament, being the first volume of the Bible, teaches the history and culture of God’s people and the New Testament embraces both the Jews and Gentiles and it teaches and encourages people to live a faith-filled life that emulates Jesus and pleases God. The quizzes/assessments were relevant to the topics discussed in each section – It helped improve my understanding. The course definitely met my expectation – I was able to get what I needed to know.
Thank you very much and God bless you…

Title: Embracing the Call of God: A Testimony of Growth and Blessing
I am immensely grateful for the journey I’ve embarked upon with Axx. Through this platform, I’ve experienced profound growth, development, and a deepening of my faith journey as I follow the call of God.
From the moment I joined Axx, I sensed a divine presence guiding me through each step. The resources provided have been instrumental in nurturing my spiritual growth and equipping me to fulfill my purpose in God’s kingdom.
One of the most significant blessings I’ve encountered through Axx is the sense of community and fellowship. Connecting with like-minded individuals who share a passion for serving God has been both encouraging and empowering. Together, we’ve shared our testimonies, prayed for one another, and celebrated each other’s milestones on this journey of faith.
Moreover, Axx has provided me with practical tools and teachings that have enabled me to discern and faithfully follow the call of God in my life. Whether through insightful articles, inspiring sermons, or thought-provoking discussions, Axx has consistently equipped me to navigate the complexities of life with wisdom and discernment.
Through it all, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of God’s grace at work in my life. As I continue to journey with Axx, I am confident that God will continue to mold me into the person He has called me to be, enabling me to make a meaningful impact in His kingdom.
In the words of Psalm 66:16, “Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.” I am grateful for the opportunity to share my testimony of growth, development, and following the call of God through Axx. May my story serve as a testament to God’s faithfulness and the transformative power of His love.

I am in God's plan
Very clear teaching and illustration of where I am in God’s ultimate plan.
It was very interesting and thought provoking 🙂
I thought this course was very thought-provoking. I especially liked the lesson about how we need to proclaim the good news in a different way rather than just washing it down. It really resonated with me.
Understanding God's plan
Knowing and understanding God’s plan from the very beginning of the book of Genesis and after the fall of man is so amazing. God by His divine and master plan makes the church and the individual that trusted Him to be partakers of His something big. I am so grateful as being in that circle and to go and proclaim God’s saving grace to all.
