I enrolled in Victory Bible Institute to deepen my understanding of the Word, to further my relationship with my Lord and Savior, and to equip myself to put on the new man of Christ so that I could live everyday in this crazy world with confidence, peace and victory. God had been nudging me to move forward in my faith, and at the same time I was painfully realizing that I was not able to handle all that life was throwing at me in my own power.

I took four of the classes as an audit student and they were wonderful and rewarding. The teachers and their ability to bring the Word alive in such a practical “here-and-now” application changed how I look at life and handle its ups and downs. With the pressures of today's lifestyle and the fast-paced corporate world I live in, knowing that I can find peace and answers to life's challenges in God's Word is a blessing.

I need to say that several of the classes were so impacting, that I would rush home to my wife (slightly startled) and tell her, “The Holy Spirit was present in the room with us tonight, I could feel His presence and it was awesome!” She could see in my face that it was real.

The classes have been a blessing to me and there is no question that they have furthered my knowledge of Jesus' life and his teachings, the power of the Word, and real impact that accepting God's amazing Love and Grace can have on your heart and life for today and forever.
