| What our students say |
Here are some comments from our students who started courses in September 2009....
Commenting on the first residential teaching week, some said … ‘It has been completely transformative. It has thrown unbiblical theology out of the window and brought me into a fuller understanding of God and his purposes for me in this lifetime!’
‘It felt like an incredible privilege to be getting input from someone so experienced in leadership and ministry with so much humility’.
The worship and ministry times were ‘extremely powerful. God has become so much more real to me this week; I feel like a new creation; with a weight lifted off me’.
‘God engaged with me powerfully on multiple occasions and I have experienced the release of the Spirit in a big way.’
‘As the group prayed together before lunch on Friday … I was stunned into silence. I did not even want to raise my arms in prayer. I felt that no words or actions from me could be an appropriate response to the greatness and love of God. The sense of awe and worship was wonderful – a new experience of worshipping God with my mind. And that sense has remained as I have come home – I am continuing to reflect on all that you taught and to feel the excitement, joy and worship from it. I feel so grateful to God that he has enabled me to do this study at this time – I felt like a child let loose in a sweetshop all week!’
Student excitement has grown with weekly study in Hubs. Here are a couple of excerpts from students’ letters to us in the last few weeks: ‘… I am finding the subject matter both stretching and sometimes challenging, but also exhilarating; perhaps even liberating. I look forward to Monday evenings hugely. … I want to talk about it to everybody I meet. I would never have thought that Theology could be so compelling.’ 'The WTC training has both increased my amazement of God as seen in His Word and helped to inspire my content for talks. I have discovered some absolute 'gems' that I have felt compelled to share with others! I recently spoke about the Bible at an evangelistic event and felt that as I have grown in knowledge personally I had loads more to give.'
