Here are some comments we received from people that are taking the correspondence courses:
• A student in FL responded to ‘Please write and tell us the most important thing you learned in the course.’ I have learned that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus Christ is coming very soon. I prepare for His coming to gather His church to go home (Heaven). What a great joy that will be. I really loved doing “Quiet Time Highlights weekly. I started week 1 thru 6. Just little behind because of working fulltime but this Quiet time helped me to stay in faith.
