Understand Calling better - My Calling an eye-opener
This Unit “God’s Call Your Response” was an unbelievable eye-opener to me as an elder for many years and an aspiring Pastor and Teacher. I do understand better the concept of Calling in its Biblical and “practical” form and can only grow much more better from this newly acquired knowledge, perspective and understanding. The practical example of using the Prophet Nehemia in demonstrating the concept of Calling was the main key to my understanding of “Calling”. I have learn a lot from all Presenters since they really break down the content to be understood and the short assessment questions are always very much challenging and summarised the main content very well. The content about the three categories of Ministry discussed was very good and gave me confirmation in my understanding for my Ministry and the Vision I believed God directed me at. Was again like the first Unit interesting, practical and food for using in Ministry. Cant wait to start the third Unit. Will always go back to certain parts in the previous Units since it is very good for life-long learning in Ministry and life.

This Unit “God’s Call Your Response” was an unbelievable eye-opener to me as an elder for many years and an aspiring Pastor and Teacher. I do understand better the concept of Calling in its Biblical and “practical” form and can only grow much more better from this newly acquired knowledge, perspective and understanding. The practical example of using the Prophet Nehemia in demonstrating the concept of Calling was the main key to my understanding of “Calling”. I have learn a lot from all Presenters since they really break down the content to be understood and the short assessment questions are always very much challenging and summarised the main content very well. The content about the three categories of Ministry discussed was very good and gave me confirmation in my understanding for my Ministry and the Vision I believed God directed me at. Was again like the first Unit interesting, practical and food for using in Ministry. Cant wait to start the third Unit. Will always go back to certain parts in the previous Units since it is very good for life-long learning in Ministry and life.
