Your word, O LORD, is eternal..

Student Testimonies: Alvaro Oviedo Munoz "My life has been transformed from the knowledge I received at the School of Discipleship & Ministry, and from seeing the testimonies of the teacher's lives at the school. I have received instruction on how to live a life in Christ. It has not been easy, being 54 yrs. of age and having lived in the world for a long time, for my pleasure, selfishness, and in sin. But since the day that my Lord gave me the opportunity to repent of my sins and make the decision to give my life to Christ, I've seen his hand on myself, my marriage, and my family. Though I have alot to learn, I know that every day He is transforming my life. As it says in Isaiah 43:13 "For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you" in my case, it has been a great blessing to be in the Bible courses. They have allowed me to remove the bandage from my eyes and know that without God we are nothing. I thank God for this school, the teachers whom let God use them. Because it is through them that the Lord speaks to our hearts and shows us his holy will through his word, Blessings.

Fernando-(Left corner white collared shirt) One has been a Christian for 15 yrs. He began classes last year in Sept. and is continuing the program, his desire and prayer is that God will give him the perseverance to finish the two yr. discipleship. He says that he was a good Christian however, he was not studying God’s word on his own besides Sunday services, and he had a conviction to go deeper with his walk with Jesus. Not knowing where to begin, as he sat in a Sunday service at his church, Victor & I went to share about the opportunity to study God’s word, he says he knew that was his answer to how to do it! As he let months go by, one day he decided to take the step and give it a chance. Since then he has been faithfully attending, began serving in his church and his pastor says he is on fire for the Lord!!! When we arrived in Jan. from our furlough he was so excited that his 18yr. old son was going to join him on his new adventure in studying God’s word.
