It has been structured with a holistic approach to provide the necessary training and exposure for each participant, through a good mix of instruction and application.

"
In line with the name of the course, students learn through easily digestible lessons, hands-on and practical approach. Particularly the Growth and Application Opportunity" during the Batam Ministry which was the most effective learning curve; I witnessed first-hand the presence of God and the mighty works of the Holy Spirit working through our humble selves. My level of faith had raised many folds. I believed my relationship with God has been strengthened, knowing my position in Christ and I am more ready to embrace it and to declare the words of the Lord.
Praise be to God!
