Testimonials

Nov 2014    "It is so encouraging working on these courses! They have been a wonderful addition to my study time and a great reminder of the great God who we serve."

"The Christian Living Series...was a very good series with plenty of exhortation to live life with Christ & eternity before me continually."

"I found this course, "Win the Battle For Your Mind," to be most helpful and am thankful for God's word, that we can apply these principles to theeveryday circumstances of life."

Great report from an Instructor regarding a student:

... she really enjoyed doing The Christian Life.

Her words at the end of chapter 4 concerning how reading the Bible has helped her so far:

   "I can't seem to get enough. There is always a need and a thirst for more. I never imagined that I would enjoy reading and learning the Bible as much as I do. My hope is to be able to retain as much as I can."

In the Instructor's reports, note the progression as the Lord is at work in this person's life through some Emmaus courses:-

 Feb 10  "D...  is clear that she does not yet have a personal relationship with the Lord, yet she is just as clear that she is heading in the right direction to find such a relationship. 

Feb 17    "I met with  her again this morning. As much as she gives mental assent to most everything I present to her from Scripture, in marking her course I saw that she was still struggling with accepting salvation as a gift; she was still wanting to work for it and "attain" it.

This a.m. we really focused on Eph. 2.8,9 (and Jn. 14.6 since she said Jesus was "the best way to God" as opposed to "the only way to God"). We went over it several times, explaining and defining each word and phrase. She seems to really grasp the difference now - a Gift, in no way to be earned, but received.

Please pray that she will step out in faith and receive this Gift of salvation, our Saviour who is Christ the Lord. Also, very practically, pray that she will be convinced from the Lord Himself and from His Word ... 

Feb 20, 2014  According to what she has written in her second course, she has accepted the Lord Jesus as her personal Saviour.  How I praise the Lord!!!! ..... .... it seems she has understood HOW to be saved and has now gladly RECEIVED the Lord AND His peace!

Feb 2014  "Thanks again for your hard work and kind words of encouragement while I have been studying with Emmaus, these courses have been a great help in my faith, and walk with Christ."

"... thank you very  much for sending the book, I got it already - in fact I am almost done. It did help me a lot and made me be reminded and rediscover more in God's words (Bible)."  

(Ontario, Jan 2014)

"I am just starting to get into the book, Old Testament Poetry & Prophecy. I love these courses ... I have learned a lot from the Emmaus courses, and look forward to taking many more in the future!" (Ontario Jan 2014)

Jan 2014 ... a new student writes, " I am learning a lot about myself and just how much more might life needs to be aligned to the word of God!"

"Thank you  for this course & all of the others, because they are explained so clearly & simply. All involved in these Emmaus courses should be congratulated & thanked for their input - job very well done!"

" I finished "The Word of God" and "The Journey Through the Bible" ...  It has been refreshing and has strengthened my faith ..." 

"I'd heard many sermons but never really understood the Bible for myself ... but since starting the Emmaus courses I have been looking up all the references and seeing firsthand what the Bible actually says, instead of what a preacher or author says the Bible says!" LD

"The courses are profitable mainly in motivating me to take more time to read the Bible."

"Emmaus courses have been a blessing to our family ... we have used them in family devotions & as discipleship materials with our children ... I have used them in camp ministry & youth work ... they have been a very useful tool in many situations."

HALLELUJAH !!

"This course (Summary of the Bible) has helped  to give me a good overview of the Bible. It has helped to fill in many 'gaps' in my knowledge of the Scriptures"  JS

"I have been reading the chapters, looking up the references then completing the tests. I seem to learn quite a bit from the questions on the tests themselves! I am really enjoying the tests and am trying to

   discipline myself to work on the study each day."

"...  always struggled to study the Bible ... never knew where to start ... never had a consistent system ... the Emmaus courses have been such a blessing in giving me the motivation to dig into God's Word systematically ... I feel as if I am finally growing spiritually after all these years of being a 'baby' Christian ..."

I can't say enough about the course "Managing Anger God's Way"  ... my unsaved husband has noticed a change in me ...

"Just mailed out two more tests today.
 
I found the study on "the men who met the master" very challenging and interesting.
 
These study modules are amazing!"

" I have used the "What the Bible Teaches" booklet/course for 30 years and it is still the best resource for guiding seekers through the Christian faith." 

            MY TESTIMONIAL by BARNEY M

Previous to the Emmaus courses I followed sage advice and would rise early to spend 15 minutes in quiet reflective devotion. In 2005, I decided to seek more instructive direction. Hence the Emmaus courses which have encouraged my spiritual growth. 

God is my compass through life. Daily, there are some scriptures that inspire me: 

“This is the day that the Lord hath made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.”

“Let your light so shine before men that it will glorify your Father who is in Heaven.”

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Phil. 4:13.)

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1.)

“Your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light to my path.” (Psalms 119:105.)

Whenever I go turkey or deer hunting I take my study with me for more quality time in my blind always mindful that as much as I love the outdoors I worship my Creator and not the creation.

“Jesus let me walk beside you; Let me feel my hand in thine. Let me know the joy of walking, In your strength and not in mine.” I forget who penned that but I pray it daily.

In closing – the more time I spend studying God’s Word the closer I grow in Him.
