What Other Students Are Saying....
“This class has deepened my understanding of the biblical foundation of missions and revivals, emphasizing the Great Commission and the power of the Holy Spirit in evangelism. I have learned practical strategies for outreach, discipleship, and cross-cultural ministry, which are essential for my calling in street preaching and seeking souls for Christ. The historical accounts of revivals have also inspired me to pray and labor for a move of God in my own ministry. I appreciated the balanced approach of biblical teaching, historical case studies, and practical applications. The discussions on past
revivals provided valuable insights into how God has moved in different generations, while the emphasis on personal holiness and dependence on the Holy Spirit was both encouraging and convicting. The course structure made complex topics accessible and engaging.”
Haryanto Wijaya
“This class has equipped me with valuable insights into the work of the Holy Spirit and how it can move in my ministry setting. I have learned from the heroes of faith and their experiences with revival, which has deepened my understanding of how God works in the hearts of believers. This knowledge will help me foster an environment of spiritual growth and revival in my ministry. I feel more confident in applying these principles, focusing on prayer, bold witness, and relying on the Holy Spirit to empower my efforts. I appreciated the depth of historical examples and the way the course challenged me to think critically about how revival can take place in my own ministry. The focus on practical action steps for local revival, as well as the emphasis on preparation and prayer, was particularly inspiring. The course also allowed me to explore the different ways revival has manifested globally, which has broadened my perspective.”
Marshall Hamelton
“The most important lesson learned from this class is the fact that God is ever prepared to use ordinary believers who avail themselves to do extraordinary things especially starting revivals and awakenings. This was seen all throughout the course content in the way God effected great revivals and awakenings, through ordinary believers. Also, without effectual fervent prayers, and resilience, there can’t be revivals in our churches, communities and the world at large. Apart from these, I have learned that God does not necessarily depend on large numbers to start awakenings in the event of moral decadence. He could use 1, 2
or 3 believers who are burdened to pray for the desired awakening. Finally, as seen from the study, God always sends revival when moral conditions seem worst and believers prayed fervently. I have been inspired to contribute my quota in my ministry to the necessary awakening the church of Christ needs today until Jesus returns.”
