May the good God continue blessing axx in Jesus Christ might name
I thought I knew how to teach the word of God
I’ve learnt about analysing the bible and it’s texts and realized how I’ve been misinterpreting and mis-applying it. I’ve learnt how to study properly e.g, the historical context, the gap between the original audience and us, the meaning and application of the word of God in our day and age. I’m so blessed and open to learn so much more from Axx ministries.

Course Reviews
Personal Management & Spiritual Health
Before now i thought that core values and mission statements are only matters related to organisations. After going through this course, my understanding is reshaped. I need core values and mission statement as an individual minister of the gospel.
Immediate Impact
I loved this course as it gave me practical things to do to be more successful in ministry. I immediately implemented some of the teachings like goal setting , mission statements , vision , time management etc and I find them to be transformative and to set me up for success that can be measurable. I am already developing habits that not only benefit me but the church that I lead
Time Management
I have learnt how time management is crucial in our day to day life. If it is not managed effectively then we will fail to meet our goals. As if that is not enough we may find ourselves stress out. Therefore, being proactive and focusing on what is important and not urgent cannot be over emphasized.
I learnt a great and thank you for the opportunity.

What Axx has Done for Me
The qualification has equiped fully and liscence programsfrom one level to another especially how to deal with members in hardship situations and reach resolution.
Further more confidence and accuracy and obviously attained.
My Story or Personal Testimony
As I liscence programs in the course,I have realized a lot of important spiritual weapons as a leader to lead the church and a team .
The most I was very interested is Self leadership.If the leader can manage to lead her self or himself accordingly prosperity and much success can be his or hers and the team at large . Leading from all Direction’s North-those above you’ South -Those below you.”West and East those with same level.It is like a car driver controlling his or her cars meanwhile controlling others.. Accountability,Transperence and responsibilities of good leader I consider as leadsip weapons.
True Christianity theology that are free from here’s and numbers of theories which correctly reveal God’s love and grace towards humanity and that fo not deny deity of Christ are also supportive weapons.
Generally I have gained alot in this level and changed even the way of studying and presenting sermons. God bless my lecturers and Axx coworkers!

Even the so little is important
Im being overwhelmed by the different things I have learnt on this module,the importance of using the stage,eye contact,varieting your voice for emphasis was never serious to me.Im really grateful to God to every details I have learnt to be as clear and simple as possible when delivering a message.Im being built and im learning new things on every module
Ministering across cultures
It enhanced my understanding of different cultures and it’s influence on missions. With an enhanced understanding, I am able to help people go through spiritual rebirth and when planting churches, strive to incorporate local or cultural contexts. The module also highlighted models for mission work and importance of networking
