1. This lesson retaught me the importance of evangelism. God can use me to be His vessel to lead others to Christ. Evangelism should be a burning desire in my heart so that others can know personally Jesus Christ.
2. When I was a teenager, I was addicted to hockey. I would spend everyday playing a hockey game for hours. When I became a Christian, I realized that I had to put hockey on the shelf for awhile. Hockey in itself is not evil. An obsession with hockey is a sin. When I gave hockey for awhile, I felt relieve from the Holy Spirit. I felt His presence and was glad to regain a proper perspective of sports in my life.
3. The characteristic that I felt spoke to me the loudest was to have a burning passion to evangelize to lost sinners. When you have a burning passion, it is not an obsession, but rather a spiritual zeal to proclaim the Gospel to your lost family member or neighbor. If you believe that when a person dies he or she will leave his or her body, and spend an eternity somewhere. With this perspective eternity can motivate you to try to win others to Christ, so that they will experience the presence of Jesus in heaven.

THIS COURSES TEACH THE IMPORTANCE OF DISPCLESHIP AND EVEN IM 8 YEARS OLD AND GRADE TWO STUDENT ,STUDYING IN A CATHOLIC SCHOOL ,THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF BEING A STUDENT IS TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE YET IM YOUNG I THANKED GOD HAVING A PARENTS THAT IS NOT ONLY HAVE FEAR I GOD HAVNG PURE IN HEART A HUMBLE LIFE THAT CHRIST IS THE CENTER OF OUR FAMILY.
PROBLEMS ARE HERE AND PRESENTS BUT THE LOVE OF GOD IS ALWAYS THERE.
THIS LESSONS HELPS ME A LOT TO LEAD OTHERS IN A TRUE VINEYARD OF OUR LORD.IM SET HAVING A GOOD EXAMPLE TO MY CLASSMATE,I DO THE BEST OF MY CAPABILITIES TO REACH OUT OTHERS AS WELL.
HELPING IS NOT NECESSARY BIG ………..EVEN SMALL HELPS I BELIEVE CAN ATTAIN A MILESTONE REACH.
I LEARN THATother work does the Spirit perform…………………………….
“But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.” 2 Thessalonians 2:13.
EVEN IM A CHILD I HAD A MISSION BY BRINGING CHRIST IN EVERY HEART AND BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO THEM.By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:2, 3). If we truly love our neighbor, we will not steel his belongings or kill him. Likewise, if we truly love God we will render full homage and worship to Him, and not fall for any other idol. We also remember to keep His Sabbath day as He has commanded, for we truly love Him with all our hearts. Be ware of the Christian who claims to love God yet disobeys Him. For “he that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 4:2).
AGAIN THANKS A LOT.ADVANCED MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

1. In lesson 4,”Redemptoris Missio”, It taught me the importance of Evangelization, because if we are a “a city on a hiil”, our light is supposed to be seen near and far. as we have learned the missionary activity, our efforts to convert non-Christians and baby Christians should be seen in our parishes and in mission field. God can use us through the gifts of the Holy Spirit to lead others to Christ i.e. to have the desire for evangelization so that others can know the risen Christ through us.
2. I was addicted to alcohol and could spend the whole weekend in drinking and other earthly desires. When I discovered that what I was doing was ruining me and my family and more so it was separating me with my God, I had to turn to God and I kept alcohol at bay. It was difficult but I overcame it with the help of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I started attending Mass, Small Christian Community faith sharing meetings and other Church related meetings, retreats, and church work. Today I feel relieved and I thirst to stay with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
3. I live in intimate communion with Jesus Christ, I did adult catechism and I learnt alot about Jesus our Redeemer and His Mission. When I converted because many people never expected me to change, they gave me time to backtrack but woe to them as my love to serve Christ grows stronger and deeper every day. Many of my friends have joined my Small Christian Community and still as Jesus told Peter, ” I will make you fisher of men,” I am in that process. My love for Christ during Holy Mass and and also at the Blessed Sacrament makes me give up my time to attend daily Mass and thereafter adoration in the Chapel. This has also taught me to love god and also my neighbour. I love also praying the rosary for the sake of those who have not known Christ as their Saviuor and Redeemer. I visit the
