Testimonies:

Testimonies we have received after conducting "Walk Thru the Old Testament" & "Walk Thru the New Testament" Seminars in Mahiyanganaya (Uva Province) in October & November, 2007.

1. Pastor M. G. Justin,
Assembly of God Church, Mahiyanganaya.

We greatly appreciate and thank God for the ministry done by you. “Walk Thru the Bible” program has been a great blessing to all our church believers and to all the lay leaders and other church members. May God bless you for the ministry you do to build the Kingdom of God in the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka.

2. Pastor K. J. R. Jayatissa,
Gospel Ministries Church, Girandurukotte.

Both the Seminars, “Walk Thru the Old Testament” and “Walk Thru the New Testament” were very useful to me and the church. By learning the Old Testament and the New Testament histories, God’s plan in it, relationship between the two Testaments and simple teaching technique gave me a great desire to read the Bible in depth.

3. Pastor Ranga S. Perera,
Assemblies of God Church, Bibile.

This great study gave me a clear picture of the flow of the Word of God and it helped me to study the Word in depth. Also I am glad to say that the truths I learnt from these studies touched my life.

4. Pastor Susantha Soyza,
Betany Church, Dehiaththakandiya.

I am glad to have participated in “Walk Thru the Bible” studies. I could learn the Old Testament and the New Testament through the main events. I consider it important, from the beginning of the Bible to the end, I could see one clear picture through these studies. I thank God that your organization coming to this area and did the studies. We who serve in these remote areas expect you to visit us.

5. Pastor Cyril Milton,
Kithu Sevana Church, Mahiyanganaya.

First of all as a church, I thank God for your dedicated service. Since this teaching method is simple, we could grasp it easily. As a pastor, when guiding the flock, the knowledge I received is very useful to me. Though I could not join in the first Seminar, when inquired from someone who participated, I was told that it was very useful and that he liked it very much. We thank God for the ministry you are doing for God with dedication and I want to say that we as a church remember you in our prayers.

6. Pastor B. N. Sumith,
Believers Church, Hasalaka.

First I want to thank God for giving me His grace to participate in these teaching sessions. I appreciate your explanations and illustrations very much when facing difficulties in ministry. Also I appreciate greatly that I was able to grasp the distinction between the 4 Gospels. In future too I hope to participate in “Walk Thru the Bible” Seminars and may God bless your ministry and all the future plans.

7. Bro. Harsha Danushka Dassanayaka,
Apostolic Church, Mahiyanganaya.

First as a church, we appreciate your effort. Specially your teaching style helped us to grasp the teaching. As a pastor, these studies are very important for my pastoral ministry. When I preach to a congregation that has a knowledge of the context of the Bible they will cetainly bear more fruit. Our believers like these teachings and they are eager to attend more Seminars in the future which shows the importance of these studies. We thank God and we pray for your ministry.

8. Bro. P. M. S. Asoka,
Revival Apostolic Church, Mahiyanganaya.

We thank God and you for the blessings we received through the “Walk Thru the Old Testament” Seminar. We consider it a great blessing to receive such studies within a very short period of time. Similarly we as a church are grateful to your ministry, “Walk Thru the New Testament” which is so beneficial to our spiritual lives.
