What Is It All About?
This course is not about making you or your life perfect! It is about making your life happier and fuller. It is about finding answers to your questions, and it is about how to help those in your sphere of influence also experience these positive changes.
Our Responsibility As Instructors
When you receive Jesus, that is only the beginning of your new life with Him! You then need to grow in faith. You need to learn how to hear from the Lord, how to praise Him, how to love Him more deeply, how to receive His power from on high.
You also need to understand how your new life affects the way you live, how it affects your relations with others, how it affects your husbands/wives, your children, your relatives, your friends. You need to know how you should relate to your colleagues, your employers or employees, and how you should treat those who don’t treat you so nicely. Then there is also the question of what you should be doing for the Lord.—Witnessing, giving, helping others!
Â
The course is not meant to be merely facts and figures, or book knowledge to fill heads and ‘tickle ears,’ but it’s a course to empower you who take it to change the world! How do you change the world around you? By first of all changing yourself.
Â
The 12 Foundation Stones covers the topics that will help you check the foundation of your Christianity, and then be able to build up other Christians.
The course consists of an introductory class and then twelve sets of two classes, each set covering one of twelve foundation topics, then finally a concluding class. If the course is taken at the rate of one class a week, it will last about six months, though it could be spread out over a shorter or longer period of time, depending on the frequency of study.
Â
Each of these topics is so vast that it would take many more than two classes to teach each of them comprehensively. In order to try to simplify the material so that you can make steady progress without being overwhelmed by information, the classes concentrate on a few key principles of each topic that are called ‘focus points.’
Each topic is presented in manageable portions, that you can receive, assimilate, and put to use.
Each set of classes contains information about a topic and then challenges you to do something with that knowledge.
This Could Be You!
Studying and understanding the word of God is quite revealing by the help of the Holy Spirit, yet Paul, I must confess that it takes the grace of God to apply some to one's daily living; e.g. having to forgive someone who knowingly hurts you simply because you want peace to reign. And not feel bitter about certain issues that can not be changed but that should never have happened in the first place. These are the areas I pray to the Holy Spirit to help change in me. If I can't change the vices in others, I should change the vices in me. This is my best "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Regards and love!

I have been so so busy that the enemy wanted me to take my eyes off the studies. I am back for good because that’s not going to happen!

Value of the Classes
You guys are actually my main link to the Lord right now apart from my parents' efforts in trying to get me closer to him. You're doing a brilliant work for which I pray God bless you a million fold. I might run but I can't hide from His love for me, however hard I try, His love proves stronger and more potent than any fears or misgivings I might have. Our communication though online, doesn't make me enjoy the word of God any less than I would if the contact was physical. I appreciate you guys a lot, more than I let on.
-Helen (Admin Manager)

Putting the Word Into Action!
I am happy to meet a family like you. I am starting to get inspiration of what it takes to be a Christian. It doesn't matter if you go to church or not, but to do the will of the almighty God.
-Michael (Teacher)
I very much appreciate how the LORD has used your organization to transform my personal ministry. I have come a long way and there is no going back, it is forward ever and backward never. I would love to take any test as you deem necessary for my spiritual growth. I’m earnestly waiting to move ahead with the program.
