Discipleship Training Program Second Semester Exam 4 Fourth Quarter Classes 40 52 1
House Of Israel Discipleship Training Program Exam NOTE TO PARTICIPANT The Discipleship Training Program is part of adult continued study designed to assist students in their comprehension and communication of YeHoVaH s Word through Yeshua s ministry. Students should be encouraged that every level of discipleship study is useful to their life, whether or not they pursue active ministry. After successful completion of this exam, students may progress to the next quarter for further study and examination. Following each class, we recommend self-evaluation of areas of study that have been mastered, as well as those requiring further attention. A survey is provided at the end of this exam to facilitate this evaluation process. It also offers participants a chance to provide valuable feedback of the teaching and examination programs. Each of us has specific abilities and a unique role gifted by the Father. The circumstances of our lives are only one aspect of our experiences. Study is another. What we can do with our experiences when combined with knowledge of the Word and a proper Kingdom mindset is nothing short of miraculous! But in order to properly teach the Word, it must be written upon the mind as well as the heart, in its purest form without religion. It is the desire of House Of Israel to make your journey in the Word as enjoyable and informative as others have found it to be. As always, we invite you, your family and friends to attend and to participate in our services at House Of Israel in Charlotte. We provide programs through our web site, on the internet and on television stations around the world. Please feel free to provide us with your feedback at any time, and may you and your studies be thoroughly blessed! Shalom!
