Course Reviews
Answering the Divine Invitation
Embarking on the journey of responding to God’s call has been both exhilarating and humbling—a sacred adventure filled with moments of clarity, challenge, and transformation. In the stillness of prayer and the whispers of the heart, I’ve heard the gentle prompting of God’s voice, beckoning me to step out in faith and obedience.
What sets this journey apart is the profound sense of purpose and fulfilment that accompanies each step taken in response to God’s call. Whether it’s a call to serve, to love, or to surrender, I’ve discovered that saying “yes” to God’s invitation opens doors to unimaginable blessings and opportunities for growth.
Answering the Divine Invitation is not just a one-time decision—it’s a lifelong commitment—a journey of surrender and obedience that leads to the abundant life God promises to those who follow Him wholeheartedly. I am grateful for the opportunity to walk this path of faith, and I eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead as I continue to respond to God’s call with a willing and open heart.
WHEN I CALLED TO GOD
It is when my wife got sick in the year 2011 in may, I dream like I was praying for her and she got healed immediately but ignored, after some days I tried to pray for her fortunately she get healed within two days, so is when I started attending the church services.
How God called me?
It was in may 2011 when my wife got sick, by then I was not attending any Church services, so during the night I dream like am praying to the sick wife and get healed at the same sport and then wake up, after some days when I saw my wife is still suffering I tried to pray and she get healed within few days for there I started praising the Lord.

Organisational Leadership in Christian ministry pt. 2
This aspect of a Course has really increased my skill as well as knowledge on finance and budget as a Pastor.
This is an insightful and interesting course
This course is very insightful and educative.
Servant leadership
It was amazing to learn about servant leadership -the bottom up approach too.
Being a leader, not a boss, and serving the people in their situations in humility. Church Leadership
Church leadership is about serving others in accordance with Christ’s interests so that they can see and accomplish God’s purpose for them in the world. A church leader needs qualities that influence and morally support the congregation, the volunteers, and others within the community. Such qualities include moral trustworthiness, social aptitude, empathy, pastoral care, and more.
Following God’s word is vital to church leadership and is not only the first role of a steward leader; it is the most important.
This course develops skills beyond theology in roles such as chairing business meetings, managing staff, and volunteers and resolving conflicts, as well as performing culturally expected religious roles such as facilitating weddings and funerals.

Lasting longer
Suffering has its place in our lives and in ministry.
As much as we would not want to go through it,it plays a role in our faith.
It stretches us and so we get to know that we can not rely on our own but seek guidance and wisdom from God and out mentors so us to push further
Longevity in ministry
This has been a very well taught session and I have picked a lot of personal lessons.
The application of principals learnt in my life as well as coming up with workable strategies stood out for me.
Longevity in Ministry
