Words From a student who registered as an atheist:
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to all. This course has been a great experience where I have had the opportunity to learn many things and share different and opposite ideas with my wonderful teacher who opens her heart to everybody, no matter who they are in terms of religion, opinion or culture.”
“I feel very happy to have those diplomas. I cannot wait to have them printed and framed. I did my best to complete this course as a major aim. Thanks to the support and guidance of my teacher, that goal became a reality.”
“I conclude by sending a bear hug from Colombia, where not many people master English. Thanks to programs like this, that is changing. Thanks a billion. Please don’t stop. You’re having a huge positive social impact.”
From a Muslim country:
“I was born in a Muslim community, but God has saved me from their evil teachings. Studying in their schools (which forces students to study Quran) had confused me. At the same time, that gave me a clear idea about what evil religion looks like. Islamic teachings urge followers to discriminate against others in every possible way. When I read the Bible, especially the life of Jesus, I felt different. For the first time in my life I feel peace and secure. I loved Jesus as a person who never sinned, and as a God who loves his children and looks after them. As it’s not allowed in my country to sell or buy religious books except Islamic books, I couldn’t read the Bible if I didn’t have laptop and Internet. Somehow God has provided me with the means to know him and hear his message.”
“I’m sure God will lead me toward the new birth, but being baptized would be difficult because it’s not allowed here to express my new faith in public. Being a Christian would remain a secret as long as I live in a country that enforces Sharia law.”
Isaiah 55:11
