You can be sure that if you study with Charis Bible College, it will change your life! That’s the power of the Word of God working in our hearts.
This is what three friends, Sarah, Kitty and Esther, found when they embarked together on eCharis, the first year Charis program. They started in March 2020 and, most weeks, they have spent time together discussing the course content.
Sarah writes:
“Besides the Christian Fellowship in my company, I also have a small team which was started this year, to do one-on-one evangelism in my company. My team members were changed by the truth of the gospel and set free from laws and bondages! They can’t help but grow! We are so excited every time God changes our lives!
Kitty is also leading a group while she does her morning exercise every day. She led the unbelievers to pray after their morning exercise! Esther, too, is a group leader for street evangelism! We changed a lot through the study with Charis. Thank you so much! God is so good to us!”
Their lives are not only changed, but others are being changed through them!
Whether or not you have the gift of evangelism, studying with Charis will provide you with evangelism tools. These come with a revelation of the true gospel – all that Jesus accomplished through His life, death, and resurrection – and its power in our lives. It’s the “too good to be true” gospel that can’t be contained. Whatever your spiritual gift, you will want to use it to share this good news!
It’s the news that by faith in Jesus we have been made completely new in our spirits, born again from above, already made one spirit with God, accepted, righteous and holy. This is the great exchange: Because of God’s great love for us, Jesus died our death that we might live His life. He took away our sin and shame, our sickness and brokenness, and gave us in return His life in all its fullness. This is not just a future reality, this is now!
The Apostle Paul explains in Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 1 that the gospel, the message of the cross, is foolishness to those who don’t believe but, to those who do, it is the wisdom of God and the power of God for salvation.
Sarah said it was the truth of the gospel that changed her team members and set them free. Free from old ways of thinking, erroneous teaching, and strongholds in their minds that kept them captive. Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).”
The evangelism resources that Sarah and her friends discovered were not found in a 10-step program, but in the transforming power of the Word of God.
With a message to communicate, and the power and love of the Holy Spirit within, Charis students are reaching their communities and beyond, making a difference. Timidity and fear no longer rule their lives, and a newfound boldness has arisen!
