TESTIMONIES

“The most important lesson I learned from the class is that it takes serious effort to become an effective and mature Christian- a Christian that is in the image of Christ. With this knowledge, we need to strive more towards perfection in the eyes of God.” – Arvi Pacoy

“I have learned that having a quiet time every single day with God should be the most important thing in my life. That by applying the Scripture to my life would not only make me a better person, but it would strengthen my relationship with God.” – Elaine Pacoy

“I’m learning to memorize more of God’s word every day in my quiet time. In the past, I would just put it off thinking I couldn’t do it. This is where Satan got to me. I didn’t realize it until I started my quiet time and this teaching of spiritual maturity. It takes discipline and a lot of time, but it’s worth it. I think that time with God has and will make me a s stronger and more mature as I grow in His knowledge and understanding.” La Verne Wilkerson

“The lessons on how to memorize and how to meditate on God’s word are very helpful in my spiritual growth. I realized that these are important ways I need to develop to live and to find directions for my life. The lessons helped me to make a commitment to these things in order to be a good teacher someday and a good witness today.

I also learned today the importance of quiet time. Not only will I develop the discipline but it will bring me closer to know God and keep me grounded on His word. This way, I always have my armor on to protect myself from temptation. A quiet time also made me realize that all the temptations, all problems can be overcome.” – Pam Burgos

“I’ve learned that there is an effective pattern to follow in order to obtain the most out of studying and applying God’s Word. Our God is a very systematic and orderly God. We can see everything that he has created all works out together harmoniously for the purpose of their creation. Therefore, if we are to reflect our God, we need to be systematic and orderly as well. I haven’t really had an idea where to begin my quiet time, but now there is a guide for me to follow. By being disciplined and purposeful in my daily meeting with God, I get the freshest revelation from Him, and carry this on for the rest of my day.” – Jeanine Kuizon


“My private time with God is crucial in my Christian walk. It is through this time that I allow God to reveal Himself and His will for me. In return I get to learn how to listen to His voice (Word), to reflect it and to respond to it. It is vital for my growth that I “take the trouble and time” to know God. I really need to make a daily schedule giving at least an hour to God for my personal time with Him.” Jojo Burgos


“It has been a big question mark on when and how to start my daily devotions to Jesus. It’s like being lost in the jungle without a map and a compass. By attending this class (Maturity class), I was able to gather the tools and techniques needed to start with my devotions. Now I have a better insight on where I would like to go with my walk with Christ.” – Manro Abundo
