Course Reviews
Interpretation
We have so much to learn. We need more teachers for teaching the Word than always preaching. Our pastors lack hermeneutics and thereby misinterpret the Bible during preaching or even Bible studies. These lessons has to be printed. Download and share with interested church members.
Final review on this course
Pentecostal History
It has been a great course on Pentecostal Perspectives and History, and I was impressed with the quality of the material presented and so many issues and aspects that were discussed and even debated throughout this course. There were some things I’d never given a thought before, but now this course has been a real blessing to me as I did it. Thanks a lot, AXX Bible College, for this wonderful training and teaching!!! God bless you!!!

Come over here
When called, we respond and)act differently. When God calls one has no choice but to respond positively to the call . I know God cares about me and I have to care about those God entrusted me to. It’s all about people’s lives hence being compassionate as Jesus was. God’s plan should always prevail no matter what. All we have to do is avail ourselves and all will fall in place. The command is seek first His kingdom and righteousness and all these things shall added into you.
While a missions calling is scarry though thrilling and exciting it cannot be avoided. Jesus went to places and was successful. God is capable and willing to equip anyone He sends on a mission . Pickups such as language, culture and location are not an excuse as God has a way out for His children to go through all barriers to do his will
Preparing self sums it all up. Getting ready for an assignment gives room for emotional and psychological preparation. Once prepared one will be commited to and focused on the task ahead. Ultimately one will grow mentally and spiritually due to exposure to to a completely new environment.
Missions Training
This opened up a whole set of new. Ideas and ways to look and effectively train people we intend sending on missions and at the same time set my heart and desire to go on more missions
Contextualisation
People should always own the gospel we take to them and not adopting our home way of doing things. i have learnt that it becomes much more easier when people in a host culture take the gospel along side their own cultures through the saying ” its not wrong, but just different”. i liked this a lot and promise to carry it on and also exercise it.
Lecturer Kay gave an example of Jesus in this teaching, that he came into the world from heaven as a human being despite him being God. He wanted to be like us in order to ease the gospel, that is to say, born of a woman, ate food, paid taxes among others.
i have also learnt that contextualisation doesn’t mean compromising other cultures but rather relating, that is getting to know the culture then present the gospel.
Thanks to Lecturer Kay.
