Through my 12 month journey, Axx Bible College has given me guidance, practical teaching and Holy Spirit spiritual teaching to feel confidently equipped to write my first book, which is at the publishers, and will be available soon. But God doesn’t stop there, and when you’re connected to the Vine, the full Power of Christ emerges and through the Will of the Holy Spirit, I have started creating a second book! I’m only 5,000 words in, but another example of being in the right place at the right time, thank you Axx your teaching resources are special and anointed through Christ Jesus! I feel the Power!

BREAKING TRIBAL AND CULTURAL BARRIERS TO REACH ALL PEOPLE WITH THE GOSPEL

05/09/2025

I have learnt of partnership to build synergy, how to be concerned about community and its transformation, interpreting realities by having Jesus’ worldview in order to interact with reality of people lives to interpret the same in order to reach them effectively. I’ve helped to how to reach cities and building short term mission teams and how to reach the western world.

The importance of spiritual warfare especially to tackle secularism and religious pluralism.

Also i have been inspired by the lives of missionaries to the unreached who are notably world changers and change agents. I should also have Jesus’ attitude to the lost and the high value He places on souls of men , interpreting it as His food.

A great change

06/21/2025

I thank God for the opportunity created for me to join Axx.

Frankly speaking the tutors teaching the cross cultures courses are amazing.May God richly blessed them.

In fact the impartation that has come on my life after this courses can’t be exaggerated. It have given me not only knowledge and skills in missions but also how to live or move with a stranger. It give me insight of the need to find every means to draw people attention to Christ no matter the race, cultures or behavior. I may say with this courses I am full.

I am most grateful for the opportunity given.
