My first elective course was on ‘The book of Philippians’ where divine strength consistently shone in the life of our dear friend, Paul. Philippians 4:13 as he joyfully shouts his Identity in Christ : “Yes..., I can do it! It is through Christ in me”. I have been with AOI College for over a year. It is very rewarding and so rich in ploughing through the word of God with fellow believers. Where seeds are sown, so will there be great harvests.
