“This course has been an answer to prayer. Since graduating from high school, I’ve had a desire to work as a counselor and help people. VCLI has provided a way for me to operate in my calling exactly the way God intended. I have a love and compassion for people like I never had before. I see them with different eyes, “Jesus died for them as well as He died for me”.  I can’t help but think of my lessons all day long. I have VCLI on the brain before I go to bed and the first thing in the morning when I wake up.  VCLI is a major key to the changes and direction my life has taken. I think twice before anything comes out of my mouth. I make decisions that will compliment my walk with the Lord and not jeopardize my testimony. I truly cannot feel any more fulfilled than to know my teaching, my training comes directly from the Bible, God’s Holy Word.”

“As someone who is already in ministry, I was looking for a degree that would help add to my ‘spiritual toolbox’. VCLI has filled up my box with valuable tools for both church ministry and everyday discipleship. The online classroom has provided me with not only essentials for core Christian values but has also brought me into a deep sense of spiritual awareness and growth in the different areas of life. It truly is a blessing to be able to have a degree in something that helps me better fulfill the greatest commandments in this life: ‘Love God’ and ‘Love others.’”

“The Institute has given me a wealth of knowledge, equipping and training. It has personally impacted my life and has given me a tool to mentor, disciple, and counsel. I’ve been prepared to meet the needs of what is really out there… abuse, pain, unforgiveness. I have seen my classmates’ relationship with God grow in magnificent ways and my own relationship with the Lord has been amazing. This course has helped me to truly see that GOD has instituted Biblical Counseling to bring closure and healing to those who have no idea that it’s possible. ”

“Victorious Christian Life Institute’s course for a Master’s Degree in Biblical Counseling has equipped me to counsel, mentor, minister to and help others with troubling issues. I appreciated the demos and feedback from my instructor. The reading material and resources are excellent and will be invaluable for future counseling. The course has and still is an answer to my prayer, “Lord, help me to be who You want me to be and to do what You want me to do.”  This program is “For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry for the building up of the body of Christ.”
