Embracing Transformation: lada Umwi's Journey with The Institute for GOD



As I reflect on my journey with The Institute for G.O.D.'s Online Bible Classes, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for the profound impact it has had on my spiritual growth. Joining the classes was a decision driven by my deep love for the word of God and a desire to delve deeper into its teachings. Little did I know that this journey would not only enrich my understanding but also challenge and inspire me in ways I never imagined.

From the outset, Professor Gregg Garner's teaching stood out as a beacon of wisdom and truth. His passion for the scriptures and commitment to honesty in his delivery resonated deeply with me. Each class was not just a lecture but an experience where biblical truths were sown into our hearts, shaping our perspectives and guiding our paths.


One of the verses that has always inspired me is Romans 10:17, "Faith comes by hearing the word of God." This verse echoed throughout the course, reminding me of the transformative power of God's word. Through Professor Gregg's teachings, I gained insights into the depth of God's love and the way Jesus walked His life on earth, bringing healing and restoration to the broken.

The stories of individuals like the Man at the well, the blind Man, and the Good Samaritan came alive in a new way, showing me how God uses ordinary people to bring about extraordinary change. In particular, the teaching on John 5, where Jesus asks the man if he wants to be healed, challenged me to reconsider my own preconceived notions of wellness and openness to God's healing in unexpected ways.


Moreover, the community of fellow Institute members enriched my experience through their diverse perspectives and shared journey. Interacting with individuals from across the globe who share a common desire to worship and serve God was both humbling and inspiring.


Reflecting on my studies under Professor Gregg Garner's guidance, My gained a deeper understanding of biblical principles and their relevance to real-world issues. Courses like "On Jesus' Mission" and "On Healing and Wellness" have equipped me to actively engage in God's work of restoration, both in my personal life and in my community.

I've witnessed profound spiritual growth in my friends who have also joined the class. They've become more attuned to their strength in the Lord, recognizing their gifts of healing, speaking truth, and maintaining open-mindedness amidst surrounding circumstances. The transformative influence of these teachings, coupled with the supportive community at The Institute for G.O.D., fills me with gratitude. Together, we endeavor to manifest the prayer "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," actively striving for a world where God's love and healing are paramount.


In conclusion, my journey with The Institute for G.O.D. has been nothing short of transformative. Through the guidance of dedicated professors like Gregg Garner and the support of a vibrant community, I've been inspired to embrace my identity as a child of God and actively participate in His mission of bringing transformation to the world. As I continue on this journey, I am reminded that God uses faith-filled people like me to make a difference, one step at a time.
