PERSONAL MANAGEMENT AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH
GLORY TO GOD
Christian Discipline is basic to Personal Management and Spiritual Growth

THEOLOGY OF GOD
Grace has been sufficient
theology of God
its best a good course,its favourite for me. thank you
My testimony concerning theology of God
MY TESTIMONY CONCERNING THEOLOGY OF GOD.
It is a great time to be part of the AXX BIBLE COLLEGE
I have been learning new things in this College especially the course of the theology of God.
I have been about theology: God and humanity
To know the word theology is simply seeking to understand God.
I have learned the proper theology by asking and research the following questions.
What do the Scriptures reveals to us about God?
What does it mean to believe God is Trinity?
What revealed about the Father, son and the Holy Spirit?
I have learned the works of Christ in five keys
1. The Kingdom of God. (It where God reigns as avm King)
2. Jesus’ crucifixion (which represents us with a very human Jesus, who wrestled in the garden and was ill-treated)
3. The atonement ( which means to be reconciled to God because our sins have been dealt with and we are forgiven)
4. Jesus’ resurrection and ascension (it is at the heart of Christian faith, “and if Christ has not been raised your faith is futile, you are still in sins…)
5. Jesus’ second coming. ( For Jesus promised he would return,)
God bless you for such power and inspiring Lessons.
This course equips and inspires ministers and potential ministers to become involved in Church Planting and developing churches. It deals with Church Growth and Health principles to the planting and development of a local congregation.

CROSSING CULTURES
Good for mission preparations.
The Missionary Call
I am so thankful to God and the Axx team for the training. I have completed the crossing cultures course, a totally different person from who I was when I started. My perspective of mission and the missionary’s call was mostly on short term missions and not necessarily to the unreached. The course has opened up my understanding to see God’s heart and focus and to feel the burden that is there. I believe I just didn’t go through the course but that the God Has touched my heart to seek Him more about missions and find my role in this great work. I enjoyed the course. Kay is a wonderful facilitator, doing her work with passion. Her experience in the Philippines and her prayers have touched my heart. I look forward to more interactions with her
God bless Axx
Zero to hero
I’m the definition of zero to hero. I suffered a lot without knowledge, I almost gave up on ministry. Thank you for this course my efforts, time and resources will count for something this time. I sold my car, properties and left home, all to no avail. If I knew then what I know now, it would be a completely different narrative. However I can’t wait to shine after being equipped by Kay and he guests. I’m ready to Go

CROSSING CULTURES

SERMON DESIGN AND DELIVERY
Grace abounds much
Sermon Design and Delivery
Well this course has been quite an eye opener for me. So much info and great tips, the how to and not too. Firstly I sure do get a bit anxious when being in front of people I do not know especially a large crowd. Will need to do small groups and grow as I gain confidence, even though it has ocured where I begin to flow as the Holy Spirit leads. What I do first is fast and pray before I tempt to approach a small group of people, asking the LORD Spirit to give me His Boldness, for His Spirit to speak through me and not my carnal ways or thoughts.
What has happened before after fasting and prayer, I was asked too baptize and entire family, and lead them deeper to Christ. The Spirit being ABBA Father presence took over and a great anointing came over the room/place. I then was lead to pray over them, as I began to pray for the woman, my entire body was flaming up, and I saw in a vision on both my arms the Fire of His Spirit flow off me or through me, to this woman that she fell over and layed there for a while, as I continued to pray over her. It was such a beautiful experience, that it has left me in awe before Abba Father. What I have learnt is to always hear, trust and be lead by His Holy Spirit. There were Angels around this family, when I baptized theem one by one. All Glory to Him Who is our LORD and Savior. His Powerful, Majestic, and Almighty in every way.
So, thank you to both Andrew and Jon for an amazing course thoroughly enjoyed it.
