It was a journey which was so educative and with great lessons to learn.
I have learnt that in the early church as well today’s church we meet challenges. Leadership has to take bold decisions to end those challenges , and evil powers through the help of Holy Spirit. Jesus is connected to church and its expansion.
The course was very educative and giving broad knowledge on the book of acts.
This study has really helped me especially in the area of resolving internal problems of the church. It has brought forth some light in the choosing of leaders to help run the church so that as a pastor I may concentrate on Prayer and the ministry of the word.
No matter how devil will interfere or hinder or block the work of God always there is success at long last.
Listening to intently, my life being tremendously impacted. I teachings have not left me the same. My view of the new testament, the book Acts in particular, the lesson from witnessing how God is working with His servants is exemplary. Thank You
