Testimonies
Before joining the course I had certain misconceptions about the nature of God. I was fearful of God and did things out of self performance in order to please God but I ended up being exhausted, confused and a defeated life. The teachings at Charis gave me revelations about the love of God, the nature of God, the grace of God, it revolutionised my thinking and outlook towards life. My relationship with God has got stronger. I no longer live a sin conscious life but a God conscious life, a Joyful and a victorious life.

The lesson on righteousness through grace in DE had a profound impact on my understanding. In my 32 years of ministry, I had never heard of this concept before, so it was an eye-opener for me. The revelation in 2 Corinthians 5:21 states "For our sake he made him be sin who knew no sin so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." Jesus became sin not by committing any sinful actions, and the same applies to us becoming righteous through Him, without any righteous actions of our own.

I was searching for a deep and vibrant relationship with God. I wanted to please God with my own strength, but I kept failing. That's when I discovered the teachings at Charis Bible College. Through their teachings, I came to understand the finished work of Jesus Christ in my life. I learned that He became sin for me, even though He knew no sin so that I might become the righteousness of God in Him. This realization set me free. Now, I don't relate to God based on my own goodness, but on His righteousness in me. This has opened the way for me to receive all things that pertain to life and godliness through His grace. I've also received healing on many occasions because I no longer find it difficult to receive from God. I'm truly grateful to God for Charis Bible College.

After receiving a fibromyalgia diagnosis, I spent a lot of time in bed. I am grateful to God for Charis Bible College since it was there that I discovered how constant and unconditional God's love is for me. I am a new creation in Christ and made in His likeness. I learned to exercise the authority given by God. Now I am healed and ministering God's love to others.

Why Charis Bible College?
Every successful minister goes through school. It's just a matter of whether it's in a formal educational setting with experienced instructors ready to help or an informal one through the “school of hard knocks," alone. I took the latter route, and I must say, if you survive, it makes a great testimony. However, I don't recommend it!
The Lord led me to start Charis Bible College for the purpose of training people for the work of the ministry. He wanted me to take a unique approach; it had to be a combination of the rich teaching of God's Word and practical, hands-on ministry experience.
Whatever God is leading you to do, preparation is never a waste of time. Statistics show that 80% of ministers drop out of the ministry, and 80% of those who stay are on the verge of burnout. I believe the lack of preparation–spiritually, academically, and practically–are at the root of these statistics.
If you choose to attend, I guarantee you it will change your life and the lives of those around you forever.
