Online Discipleship Course
The ‘I Am’ Course
For church groups in Europe
Why this Course?
Iranians and Afghans are taught that their value lies in avoiding shame and achieving honour and admiration from others. This way of thinking is a major obstacle for new believers in embracing their true identity in Jesus and in the unconditional love of the Father.
To help believers embrace who they really are in Christ, we have developed the “I Am” Course, a seven-week online training in Farsi (with live English translation), based on the “I Am” sayings of Jesus in the Gospel of John. The course explores the character of Jesus as revealed in the seven sayings and what they mean for our identity as His disciples.
