Hi L.J. Ehrlich, Thanks for your prompt reply. May I know how can I make a donation at the same time I would like to find out more from you regarding the free course that the ministry offered. I am really keen to know more about about JESUS and would like to have my life transformed although I had been a Christian for 3 years plus.I would like to have a closer walk with HIM and I really need your kind assistant. I am a slow learner and have short memory. Due to personal problem, demonic attack, witchcraft. Get through my hubby that how much the Lord had loved HE him when he had a lot of setback from family and friends. Most important to get closer to HIM and know HIM and need God supernatural to help my family to know JESUS to break away the generation curses. Charis Koh, Singapore

Hello I am glad to say yesterday we graduated , with the National Fellowship of Born Again, and guess what?

In Christ, Noella Ssemaganda

I gave my life to the Lord at age 10. I have wavered for many years. There were so many different teachings out there that it was confusing. I have backslid on occasions but have always come back to the Lord. I was introduced to the Apostolic faith almost two years ago and am now getting the proper teachings at my church. I desire to know more about the Apostolic faith and to be able to properly tell others the truth. Your online courses are perfectly designed to help me in my search for the truth. William Brown

Jehovah Witness Conversion: I was born into the Jehovah's Witness faith. I enrolled in the theoro cratic ministry School at the age of 8. It was at this time in my life where I began to study the bible and deliver sermons in public worship services as well as, outside missionary and informal witness through the field service ministry. I served in the ministry faithfully until the age of 23. I had never been to a church outside of what I was taught under the Jehovah's Witness faith. I heard the true gospel of Jesus Christ preached at a home going service for my grandfather. It was there that I realized that there was so much more to relationship with God than I had learned. I experience the presence of God for the first time in my life at this funeral, and became so overwhelmed in tears as love that I could not contain myself. . 2 years later I decided to attend a church service for the first time in my life. I went to a revival and was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. Kevn, North Carolina

Dear AFOL, I found Jesus 7 years ago after years of being muslim, a painful life, loneliness and depression. Jesus sent me a message and brought me home.

Hello: My name is Gabriel A. Beady I am 39 years old, I live in Aiken Sc. I am married; my wife’s name is Ginger. I have four children their names are Brittany, Kristin, Courtney and Jenny. I am the Founder and Sr. Pastor of New Horizon Vision Center (www.newhorizonvc.org). Our Church is located in the heart of Aiken Sc. We moved from Mansfield Ohio with direction from the Lord to plant a Church In 2002. We planted the church some two years ago and have been truly blessed by the Lord since. We are a Chartered Non-Denominational Church but are currently transitioning into covenant with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. I received my Ministerial License and Ordination in 2002 from Sanctuary of God Ministries in Sandusky Ohio. In November of this year my wife and I received our License with Church of the Foursquare Gospel. I have felt for some time that the Lord was leading me to increase my knowledge and further my education. I have searched the internet for quite a long time trying to make a right decision; where to sow my time and effort. I chose Your College as it looked best to fit my situation. I am very busy and am gone from home a lot so I needed something with great flexibility. This appears to fit my need.

I am a third Generation Gospel Preacher; my father is still in ministry and pastors a church in Mansfield Ohio. He has been with the Church of God (Cleveland TN) for some forty years. I am a firm believer that we are to pass on our knowledge to a coming generation. I would like to better position myself for the Harvest of souls that is at hand.

I also believe that we are to remain teachable and I would like to pass that on by being an example to the flock God has placed me over. In Christ Service; Gabriel A. Beady

Brother L.J. Ehrlich,
I am so excited about starting the Bible courses. I was looking through the courses and they all look so interesting. I am a very eager learner, especially about the Bible. At the time I am using some one else computer, (mine broke down) but I have a new computer on it's way. It should be here by December 1 or sooner. As soon as I receive my own computer and get it hooked up that's when I will begin the lessons. That's when I will also email my picture. The Bible College is going to be such a blessing for me. I truly Thank God for it. God Bless You Sister Lanetta Spencer

Claire, England: Taking Bible, 120, Who is Jesus

I lived in Israel for a while on a kibbutz. Whilst there, I studied the religions and history of the Holy Land. I was greatly impressed by the hospitality and love I received from my Palestinian friends. When I returned to England I converted to Islam and practiced the faith for ten years. I studied at various Universities and as I moved around God brought me closer to who I am today. I became a high school teacher but also got involved in an abusive relationship. Eventually in an attempt to escape from this I moved to Ipswich, a small sleepy town in the countryside. I would never have guest that I would meet the savior here, or that Pentecostal fire was burning and the saints were very much on fire for God. I thought I could start a new life; however my ex-partner continued to haunt me; breaking into my home, sending me hate mail or leaving messages on my phone. I was in despair; I prayed in my heart and asked God to help me. Once you are a Muslim it is very difficult to leave. I started to go swimming at the local pool, and met a woman there and we began to talk and swim together. She was a born again Christian and eventually she invited me to bible study. I went for one visit and knew immediately that God was in this place, He touched my heart. I knew that Jesus was more than a prophet, but my savior, Lord and God. I asked the church to pray for me, told them my situation. Within three days, I was blessed with a cheque, it was for £32,000! With the money I was able to buy myself an apartment in a secure building with security cameras and security doors. If this was not enough, God caused another miracle. The church had been looking for a new building, and two weeks after I moved into my apartment, the church moved directly across the street! God moved me into the right place (the words in Esther come to mind; ‘Called to the kingdom for such a time as this’). Since that time I began to attend church and made a commitment on 6^{th
April 2005. I am now baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Spirit with
evidence of speaking in tongues (Acts 2:38).}

nicknames: either Donna or Grace. Am 33 years old and was born on July 10, 1974.
Am annulled for 9 yrs now and I have one son who is now 11 yrs old. For my
education, I graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Science major in Business
Management. Currently am not working because am a full time student in Bachelor
of Science in Nursing and by God's grace I will be completing it hopefully this
coming October 2007. As to my involvement in church, by faith am a born again
Christian (Evangelical). I used to be the praise and worship song leader in
church but due to conflict in schedules at school I have to give the task to
others. But I am still actively involve and leading a cell group of adult
professionals every Wednesday and participative in other task such as on
schedule service leader or Scripture reader or tithe encourager and other
activities in church. The reason why I enrolled in your school was because of my
great desire to learn more about the Word of God and my desire to be able to
minister to a lot of people and share His Word. Even with my busy schedule in
Nursing school I do not see it as a hindrance in my personal spiritual growth. I
always place God above everything else cause He matters to me most more than
anything in the world. I believe your school will help me to be more equipped
Biblically, professionally, and spiritually and help me learn how to handle the
word of truth accurately to be effective in the ministry and it is my prayer to
be able to fulfill my dream of evangelizing and bringing more people to the Lord
in God's own appointed time. Thank you once again for giving me this chance to
be part of your school, am honored and grateful. In Christ, Donabel}}

^{Brother Ehrlich^{It is good indeed to hear that others are sacrificing. Myself am in a more
similar situation as my country is on a continued recession and internet costs
are spiraling. That is what at times i send more than 1 lesson to my instructor.
What i do is that i have friends who have internet access at their workplaces
and i visit them regularly and i download as much lessons as i can,
copy them and send them to my work email address. i then print them out and work
on them one by one at night after work, then input my answers at a later stage
then email my instructors. When my friends are busy, I sacrifice the little that
I have and go to an internet cafe, download, copy and paste to my yahoo email
and send to my work email. It is hard but I persevere, as I want to serve the
lord at any cost. In
the mean time, I’m as well requesting for assistance to acquire a laptop. it
would be easier for me as I can apply for internet access at home and the rates
for private use are not huge. I would then let some of my brethren whom I’m
doing bible study with, enroll with AF Online so that we can share the costs and
labour in the Lord's vine together. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for launching AF Online} ^{May
God continue to richly bless you.
Brother Graham Mhlakaza

I am very committed in this course and is better I go with out food just to look

feel too that God has great plans for me. God bless you greeting from my family.

^{Sister
Ehrlich, Thank you for your kind words when you e-mailed me welcoming me
to your class. What a pleasure it was to work this lesson. I could
actually feel God moving as I worked my way through the lesson. Just a
little about myself, I am disabled with a crippling form of arthritis. So
this gives me a whole lot of time to study and do these lessons. If I run
into no problems I should finish the Character Study within a few days. I
usually do 2 or 3 lessons a day. Once again, thank you for your kind words
and if there is anything that I may do to be of service to you, please
feel free to let me know.Your brother in Christ.

Topeka, Kansas I
worked with a friend who kept inviting me to "church" events. Finally,
I went to see the movie "A Thief In The Night".I was struck with this
thought: " If I believe and they have lied, I have lost nothing. But if I
do not believe and they are telling the truth, I have lost everything." A
week later was Easter Sunday and I went to church with my friend. When the
invitation was given, I could not keep myself from running to the front of the
church, getting on my knees, and surrending all to the LORD. The forgiveness for
my sin was completely overwhelming. D. Downs

Dear Dean Ehrlich. I am so greatful for being

^{BIBL101, "This lesson really
makes me think about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus suffered for a
sinner like me. Jesus came to show us the way, and to give us life. By His
stripes I am healed today, I am no longer controlled by sin. I am now controlled
by the Holy Spirit which helps guides me unto righteousness. Also Jesus as human
was tempted but He sinned not. Jesus gave us power so that we don't have to be
controlled by sin and bow down to every temptation that comes our way. I now
have hope in Jesus, I have a new life and my Father is preparing a place for
me." AFOL Student, May 2008}

I grew up as a Catholic and later converted to
Pentecostal in 1996. I was baptized by emersion that year and received the Holy
Spirit with the sign of speaking in tongue. Since then, The LORD has laid it
upon my heart the burden to reach out to others with His Word. In the zeal of
the new spirit, I moved to the Gambia, West Africa, a predominantly Moslem
county and began evangelizing among them. With no support from any organization,
I was able to establish Bible study groups, work with other Christian groups on
the ground and distribute Christian literature freely in most parts of the
country. With the desire to be fully trained for ministry, I attempted a few
times to apply to a Bible college but, due to the lack of finance, I was
unsuccessful. I eventually decided to return home in 2002 to wait on God for the
appropriate time when He will make the way for me to fulfill what He has laid on
my heart. Kevin B. Sierra Leone, Africa}}}
