My beloved Axx family this is amazing course, that what does it mean for a church to have “effective structures “?that it has organisational structures which facilitate rather than hinder the mission of the Church. So l have to have “Effective Structures “but l must have a organisational structure which facilitate rather than hinder the mission of the Church..Amen!!..
What is The significance of lan’s comment “berelevant and contemporary without compromise “?so that l can stand for the truth in such way that make it meaningful to the people around us.and lan said that faithfulness and fruitfulness are “dipolar “.what he mean by that was that we need both. To put them together and we’ll get Church growths. Thanks you my Axx family for that Teaching. Amen!
Greatings in the the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

In Building Kingdom Centred Churches Ps Mal Macleod examines five principles for Kingdom Growth, how to build your Church Planting team and how to be a Kingdom centred leader. He finished with Four Fundamental Principles of Kingdom Theology.
Senior Pastor, Equip Church International. Ps Malcolm and Karen MacLeod are visionary leaders with a love for people. They have a strong desire to see people grow in Christ through the fulfilment of the Great Commission: “Go make disciples…” This desire to help people grow is coupled with a burden for leaders. They have a heart for the Kingdom, equipping pastors and leading leaders to achieve their full potential in ministry to the body of Christ.
Awesomely thought and so grateful to the Lord and the lecturer Pastor MacLeod hallelujah
God bless pastor Malcolm for the powerful presentation on Building Kingdom Centred Churches.
All the courses were impactful. I specifically learnt that , a leader must disciple people to become leaders and not look for self made leaders. A leader must also be prayerful. I have learnt a lot that I didn’t know.
I have received the needed information,skills and knowledge on Building Kingdom centered Church and Five principles which has made me ready to and lead by God’s call.
Pastor Malcom is a rare blessing.. I could feel this level of anointing throughout the lessons.
Am now certain of what is expected of me as a Pastor/leader..
It’s all about Christ, the kingdom and not me
AFTER THIS SESSION IM JUST MORE AND MORE INLOVE WITH JESUS.THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME HOW A CHURCH OF GOD SHOULD LOOK LIKE.IM SO EXCITED TO START USING AND PREACHING TO MY LEADERS.ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE THAT DURING THIS SESSION I GREW MORE IN JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU.
This unit helped me in knowing or rather explaining better to others on knowing their purpose on earth and what God called them to do, and I now know the difference between the church and the kingdom.
Maranatha, je viens d’achever ma certification pastorale avancée. Cette classe d’étude m’a soumis à une élévation spirituelle avancée par rapport à ma première classe. Dieu m’a parlé, il m’a enseigné, il m’a capacité, il m’a affranchi à travers sa vérité et je me sens désormais accompli pour toute bonne oeuvre évangélique. Pendant que la lumière y est, je voudrais prêcher le retour de Christ afin de sortir ce monde des ténèbres pour son admirable lumière. Je viens de recevoir les outils me permettant de prêcher avec autorité et efficacité. Que le nom de l’Éternel soit glorifié !
Je viens d’achever avec la deuxième partie de ma certification pastorale. C’est pour moi une grande expérience qui me soumet à une grande élévation. Cette classe a apporté des réponses à mes nombreuses préoccupations et je glorifie le nom de l’Éternel. Je peux maintenant exercer mon pastoral avec puissance et autorité car l’Éternel à travers cette école m’a capacité.Mon niveau théologique a pris une tournure assez solide et décisive. Dieu m’a permis à travers tous ces modules à mieux le connaître afin de mieux le servir. Je peux maintenant interpréter avec autorité les textes et les livres de la Bible selon leurs contextes sans inquiétudes sur le sens figuré, narratif, parabolique, prophétique ou poétique. Je connais désormais la différence entre les livres catholiques, apocalyptiques et l’Apocalypse. Les lettres de Paul ont suscité un goût évangélique dans ma vie, ainsi que les Psaumes, les Proverbes, les Cantiques, Ecclésiaste et Job. L’eschatologie devient une réalité dans ma vie et je n’ai plus peur de la mort car, la vie éternelle est plus importante en Jésus-Christ.
Je viens d’aborder un module très important qui traite des évènements de la fin réunis sur le nom Eschatologie. L’ordre chronologique n’étant pas très clair sans l’inspiration, ces événements néanmoins auront tous lieu, que nous le voulions ou pas. Avant le paradis, l’événement final sera la mort qui connaîtra une fin. Le souhait de Dieu étant que nos noms soient inscrits dans le livre de vie afin que nous puissions bénéficier de tout ce qu’il ya de positif dans l’eschatologie. Que l’Éternel visite AXX Bible Theology Collège et se souvienne de Dr John Simon’s comme il se souvint de Noé dans Genèse 8:1.

This session was very beneficial
in self grooming
A leader must be a servant and must have good leadership qualities
To add that-Leaders and Coaches individuals who have high standards of integrity, take responsibility for their actions, and make decisions based on principle rather than short-term success for mission to move forward
I learnt how to use my leader skill to benefit others
I have been through some leadership training over time, AXX training is unique, loaded and interesting. I have been able to hone myself with great leadership
A good leader takes responsibilities respects and values others.They develop and motivate a team to help achieve goals of the ministry
This Course is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to defend the authority of the Christian scriptures and to correctly interpret them and apply their message to contemporary ministry contexts.
Following the completion of his Bachelor of Arts (Biblical Studies), Matthew assumed the Vocational Education Course Supervisor role with Harvest Bible College.
Matt has helped me in understanding how to read, study interpret and explaining the scripture within the context of the author and finding meaning in my current context, his simple way of explanations used is soo very relevant for application, the understanding that scriptures are for all and that the bible is sacred text that was formed through Natural inspiration, divine direction, conceptual inspiration ,verbal plenary and also through dynamic, has made it easy to learn, understand and further explain to others.
I have also understood how the different translation came to be, from the three Initial languages Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, to the current diverse languages of the world without loosing the original meaning. The other key issue I have learnt is how to interpret and communicate the same message within the intended context without loosing the objective of the authors.
With this and more I have learnt ,am helped in becoming a better Bible student and future teacher.
I am so grateful to axx because of what they have done for me. Saying the truth l was blank about Engaging the scriptures but now with the help of axx am able to understand the Bible and to preach with confidence. Thanks for Mr Matt jarlet he is a good lecturer . God bless you all.
I would like to express my gratitude to you men of God for this wonderful opportunity given to me. I can testify that I didn’t know anything about Engaging the Scripture but now I know and I will be doing what I have learned. My lecturer Mr Matt he is good lecturer and all l can say thank you Jesus.
From when I was enrolled to axx course is when I got the knowledge on a good way to interpret the holy scriptures basing on different contexts
This subject has sharpen my knowledge and understanding on how to engage the Scriptures
The course was an eye opener to my life in reading and understanding the scriptures
This course discusses key theological issues related to the Person and Work of Christ. You will analyse the historical development of the doctrines and issues related to the deity, humanity and atoning work of Christ.

In this lesson, i learnt how Jesus is important to us because i learnt through His Atonement, teachings, hope, peace, and example, He helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward with faith as we journey back to Him and His Father.
Thank God for this great knowledge. This course has given me an insight and understanding of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit ( the Divine Nature and the Humanity Nature) thanks so much for the knowledge that keep placing me ahead of many , I’m indeed grateful and will remain grateful.
Our faith is focused on the person and work of Jesus Christ—we trust who He is and what He’s done. We trust that He is God made flesh (John 1:14) and that He died for our sins and rose from the dead. Salvation cannot be separated from the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Salvation could come from no one else but Jesus Christ. Jesus is not simply a great man or a moral teacher, but He is fully God and fully man. The Bible tells us that Jesus is God (John 20:28; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8), and it is equally clear that He is fully human (Luke 19:41; John 19:28; Romans 1:2–4; 1 John 4:2–3). Believing that Jesus is both God and man is of fundamental importance, for that’s what defines the person of Christ.
Jesus’ humanity is significant because there is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22). If Jesus Christ were not truly human, He could not have sacrificed His body and shed His blood for our sins (1 Peter 2:24). If Jesus were not truly God, then He would have sin of His own that needed atoned for. As the God-man, Jesus Christ is the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sins of all who will believe (John 1:29). Accepting Jesus’ perfect humanity is crucial to understanding the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Also essential to trusting in the person and work of Jesus Christ is a belief in His divinity and supremacy. If Jesus were not God, He could not provide salvation, for salvation is of the Lord (Psalm 3:8; Jonah 2:9). If Jesus were not fully God and fully man, His sacrifice would have been insufficient to atone for our sins (Hebrews 2:14–17). It is in believing who Jesus actually is—fully God and fully man—that we can understand what He has done.
No other person could have done what Jesus Christ did.
No other work could have secured our salvation like the work Jesus Christ performed. That’s why we trust in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
I have been able to clearly understand what Jesus Christ did for the salvation of mankind from the Person and Work of Christ class organized by Axx. And this training has provided me with more spirituality which will help me lead my ministry more successfully. So I thank Axx for this great opportunity.

God is love, thus we need to show people in our lives and those around us God’s love.
I learnt the personality and work of Jesus Christ. The theology that surrounds His birth, the essence of His coming, death and resurrection
In this course I was introduced to the work of Jesus Christ, His essence, His theology and how the atonement works with various view from different scholars. But at the end of it, the session was so clear and understandable.
This course discusses key theological issues related to the Person and Work of Christ, and continues to analyse the historical development of the doctrines and issues related to the deity, humanity and atoning work of Christ.

My eyes of understanding is being enlightened. God bless axx Bible college
What Axx has Done for Me
Axx training helped to gain more biblical knowledge, develop skills and gain self- confidence. This knowledge, strength and conviction will enable me to plan new initiatives in my ministry. which will effect the growth of God’s kingdom and righteousness.
I have enjoyed these classes so much, All of the classes have been great so far…some are more informative, and some are more application-oriented, but I can’t thank them enough for such great classes! . One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that it’s important to further our relationship with the Lord. – it’s been awesome. thank God for the opportunity to learn in AXX, it’s the best school I’ve found!”

When Jesus came down, he came to serve. He was never the master. His ministry was upside down. He was serving his servants. We need to be the same.
Here, I learnt theology that surrounds atonement, Grace, Justification and sanctification. It was indeed an eye opener.
I learnt Grace, that God is Grace. Also Grace can also have various forms. More light was shed on Justification and sanctification. Contemporary issues were talked about on how we tell people about God, especially young people.
Good morning my Axx Bible College family, to my review is like this, that the Bible does not tell us much about the early years of Jesus ‘life. It tells us that” Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men”(luke2:52)l understand that Jesus was the Son of God, He was also the son of Mary. Therefore, He was both human and divine. Since He was human, He was tempted in every way as we are. Then Jesus began preaching. (Mark1:15)He also worked many miracle. His miracles prove that God had sent Him. He healed the sick and cast out evil spirits Mark1:34-35,restore sight to the blind (Mark10:46-52),He fed the hungry (Mark6:34-44)and raised the dead,l believe that what Jesus do we will do, as He do,that is my small review. God bless you all Axx Bible College family.

Being able to use my EQ effectively was the most fuscinating thing ever I loved in this subject. It taught me how to use the inner me.
J’apprend à me connaitre moi même et les autres et cela facilitera la collaboration te la gestion des situations
This really helped me in controlling my emotions.
I have learnt a lot in this course and I’m equiped now God bless you
For a team to be productive, there are certain procedures to be followed. The leader must not be self~centered. Members must trust each other and work towards the goal of the team. It is about the team and not about indivudual
I want to thank God for this opportunity to be in this course,i have learnt a lot in this course and thanks to the teachers and our sponsors God bless you
This course gives an overview of the life and ministry of Jesus as described by the four gospel narratives. The aim of the course is to bring an understanding of the cultural and historical environment of the day within its literary setting.

Have understood the importance of application and not just loading audience with principles
Hello Axx fraternity. I take this opportunity to thank you for giving me this chance to learn the word of God and how to spread the gospel. My life is being transformed daily. I look forward to learning new stuff daily. May the Lord bless you and bless our lovely lectures, serving the Lord is not in vain in due time he will repay you in Jesus name.
Ahsante Sana.
The course gives Jesus kingdom gospel an elaborated way in all four but one gospel,also understand how each writer put the subject and how to share it with our audience
I have realised that application is acting on the stipulated principles.
I have also learned that my principles will not last if I don’t apply it.
Jesus kingdom gospel is a life changing course that teaches more on the kingdom know how on Jesus and how to present it to others as fishers of Men.
It was quite long. And my schedule wasn’t as consistent as the others. But this course is a game changer
Thank you Matt

God is really great.I thank Him for such an achievement of ministry in the spirit.I am very grateful for the knowledge I have achieved through out this course and I hope I will do more than I have been doing because the holy spirit is a key person in ministry since he is the one guiding us in ministry work.
I give glory and honor to God.
connaitre sa personnalité, sa divinité, sa relation avec le père, l’église et la sanctification
I always says it good to be taught from such graceful teachers. I appreciate they efforts and thanks Jesus for Axx. I leaned many things in this course.
The indispensability of the Holy Spirit in our life, ministry, evangelism is critical. This is because we are dealing with two kingdoms and two powers that are opposed to each other. The Holy Spirit is poured to believers to spiritual gifts given.
Giving thanks to God and the sponsors have learnt a lot and I’m equiped now God bless you.
Have enjoyed all the different lecturers and have been encouraged by testimonies and practical advise.
This course will equip individuals to care for people pastorally, providing them with tools and teaching them to work within good pastoral care systems.

Le pasteur doit aider les gens à recadrer leur vie à la lumière de l’histoire de Dieu
Am a beneficial in this course
I always loved these knowledge and course since i joined them. It upgraded my skills to resolve crisis and to give counseling. Thank you Jesus for Axx.
This lesson reminds me why Jesus asked Peter three times, “Peter do you love me more than others. After Peter’s answer, Jesus’ reason of asking that question is the same today, “look after my sheep”. I was just challenged by this pastoral care session. Jesus asked Peter the relationship first between themselves, this session taught me to take care of myself first so that I may take care of the church of God.
This course trained me to understand the need of caring for God’s people. Not only within the church but also in the community. Identifying their needs and working out a way of meeting these needs. It is important to know your flock so you can care for them better
This course is an introductory study of intercultural ministry principles and practice. People preparing for short term intercultural ministry need grounding in the basic principles of mission and cross-cultural communication.

I have learned that God’s plan for His kingdom was not meant for few people or for a specific nation but for all. So as servants of God we are obliged to take the gospel as we mandated by our Lord Jesus Christ on Matthew 28:19-20. I have also learned how important is the history in the bible. It teaches us how those who came before us carried their duties and their obedience before God.
This is most interesting course of this time i ever studied. Case studies are the best part. I just loved this.
I just want to say thank you tp Ian and his colleague Dr Chin Do Kham who took me through this course. I am very grateful to God for that. I learned so much but what stood out for me is the sacrifice that some people at the risk of their own lives to see the gospel spread. The testimony that it is easier to remove a tooth of an elephant than to convert 1 Hindu. The inseparability of the Church and Mission also stood out for me. the church exists because of missions. I am challenged that we have more missionaries in Christian communities than the unreached people. I was also encouraged by the new way of doing things as I learnt how somebody was able to plant a church via facebook and pastor it.
I very much learned a lot from this topic. As a church planter I should understand culture, appreciate it and be sensetive to it like Christ was Christ has redeemed culture. We should be able to preach the gospel to all nations of different cultures. Jesus became all things to win the souls he passed through culture. He was eating with sinners in order to win them for the kingdom of God. I had a lot of fear with regard culture thinking that somethings in culture are demonic. But now I know that in ourder to win them I should interact, I will not be transformed by culture but I will transform culture. The second ministry that we have is in another village where they have a different culture and I was able to apply what I have learned . Thanks to Axx.
I very much thank God for this course because they made me understand what I am doing, I now understand that all christian believes are called to witness for Christ and proclaim the good news of salvation. Acts 1:8 says you shall receive power after the holy spirit comes upon you and you shall be a witness in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. Christians should be more concerned with the future of the world than with the future of the church. This teachings has equipped me to go where ever God send me to do his work. Thanks to Axx.
I learned a lot in this module and I have now come out of my comfort zone. We have been concentrating on ourselves, our surroundings and our churches which is a limitation and has been stopping up from growing and broadening. I have now learned about world christian, which means you go with God ‘s world vision. Because God loves the whole world not just christians, the bible States it in John 3: 16. For God so lived the world that he gave his only begotten son to die for our sins so that we have life and life in abundance. This teachings has improved my prayer as I now know that I should pray for the whole world. E.g pray for different countries, the economy, pandemics, dessastas, rain, children, different governments etc. It has challenged me to be a real life changer. It has widened my faith. I have realized that when you concentrate on your life you turn to notice lots of problems, but when you take your eyes off your self and focus on God ‘s bigger plan he indeed fights your battles. I very much thank the college for this course.

I felt different studying this. This is so amazing. I love to study more from sir Ian. I don’t have words to explain. Thank you Axx.
This is most interesting course of this time i ever studied. Case studies are the best part. I just loved this.
It has been great listening Dr. Ian share passionately about intercultural ministry. I have been challenged to seek God, be conscious of what is happening in the world around me and be global minded. I can make my life count just as others who were able to do it.

I was also encouraged by the new way of doing things as I learnt how somebody was able to plant a church via facebook and pastor it.
I very much appreciate this topic because we are required to go cross cultural. The great commission tells us to preach the gospel to all nations going to other cultures. As we go to other people we need to understand their culture. Jesus him self demonstrated this aspect as he came from heaven ‘s culture into specific human society and culture. He had appreciation and sensitivity to to other cultures how ever this did not stop him from preaching the gospel, he came and redeemed and transformed all cultures. His teachings passed through culture. He was able to interact with anyone e.g the Samaritan woman although it was against culture. Eating with sinners. This course reaches us we should not be transformed by culture but we should transform culture. The first church feather developed Cross cultural sensetivity. Paul says I am called to bea shaper of culture not to be shaped by culture. Phil 3 and he feather said I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12.
