    Soul-Care

    The Triune God loves us deeply. We are his beloved children. He cares for our whole being – body, mind and soul. The Lord’s invitation is to live from a place of deep rest and communion with the Father instead of burning oneself out. We are invited to live from such a place of rest.

Testimonials

Perspectives Reshaped

“The ‘With God’ Education course reshaped my perspective, restoring my identity in the image of God and bringing healing to childhood wounds that had distorted it. It opened my eyes to how culture subtly shapes education and, in turn, young minds. Above all, I was reminded that true transformation comes only by the renewing of the mind. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2).”

Vital Preparation for Parenting

“The course deepened my understanding of my privelege and responsibility as a father and what God expects from us as parents. It helped me understand my child better and taught me patience in my connection with her. Additionally , the course improved my relationship with my spouse. It helped me understand that raising my child was more about preparing myself and gaining confidence to navigate through the changing education system in a wholesome and unoverwhelmed way. This course is a vital preparation for parenting today.”

Equipped for Meaningful Engagement

“I believe nothing in our life happens by accident and everything is God ordained and in His time we understand the reason why. This year my daughter who has joined School has been facing challenges and that’s when I was introduced to this training program. This course has helped me to introspect my own life and change my attitudes and actions. It has also given me a new perspective of how God
looks at education. The foundation course has also helped me to engage more meaningfully with my child asking and answering the right questions.”

Restored Relationships

“I longed for a deeper intimacy with God for many years but found it difficult. However, from day one of joining this foundation course, I noticed my relationship with the Lord growing stronger, and I could genuinely call Him my Father from the depths of my heart. I learned the concept of “practicing the presence of God,” which encouraged me to set aside time to quietly sit, become aware of God’s presence, and have a meaningful conversation with Jesus. As a father of two children under ten, this course sparked daily curiosity to share my relationship with God with them and to guide them as they pray in their own words. I’ve witnessed my children begin expressing their thoughts about God, life, and the world around us. Our family devotion times have become more meaningful and enriching. I highly recommend this foundation course to all Christian parents who wish to restore their relationship with the Lord and share their With-God Life with their children, actively engaging with them in daily life and education.”

Greatly Blessed

“I am greatly blessed by this course. I have got to know God more intimately. The course is useful in teaching and training my children with more compassion and patience. This course led me to think about the purpose of education. It was all about knowing God through his creation. This course helped me to gain stability in my thoughts about education. The teachers are approachable, loving and they listen. Every session was special and well planned.”
