“Appreciation is the Power of Gratitude which is a Fragrance of the Heart and the Aroma of One’s Spirit”
— Ronnie Moodley
Testimony 1 — Dr Clyde Clarence
My wife and I started our journey of studying Gods word together from 2013 at FBC. We had a yearning & thirst to study Gods Word & needed some sort of program to quench that thirst and hunger.
In the first couple of lessons we have settled that this is the College to be in, since the modules had a balanced diet to complete that hunger burst. Today I can testify of God’s grace during the years of our studies. We had so many challenges on this journey, in our first year. I must say that if it were not for the faith based teaching of God’s word at FBC we would probably not have had a sound understanding of what we were experiencing at the time. The lecturers at FBC and the training really helped us out of our darkest days, and today my wife and I can extend the same help to others in need.
Thanks to FBC I have completed my studies at FBC & am also an ordained Pastor of a church. My wife and I pastor a ministry called Revival Center International where we are adamant about teaching sound doctrine and counselling those who are broken by the difficulties of life’s journey. My wife has completed her bachelor’s degree in ministry and works alongside me as we fulfil our commission and assignment that has been prepared by God.
We are ever grateful for having found authentic Faith Based Modules in FBC that caters to the holistic man, teaches sound doctrine and that has prepared us with the right leadership tools that we can apply in the ministry we are leading today. Thank you Faith Bible College, we forever grateful.

Testimony 4 — Hazel Naomi van Schalkwyk
My name is Hazel Naomi van Schalkwyk and I am a Member of The New Life Baptist Church.
I am a Christian and a leader in my Church and community. After many years, in my Later years I decided to equip myself with the Word of God. Being a Christian for so long, one seems to become complacent and accept the mediocracy standard of modern living, while you know you can do more and better. I came across Faith Bible College in Johannesburg through a Colleague and registered in my 1st Year.
Today I am a student studying my 3rd Year Ministry in Theology. Through the teachings of the materials of Faith Bible College, I was amazed at the head and heart revelation and in-depth teachings that it unveiled my gifts, talents & potentials to be used by God. Today I don’t regret that I have eventually signed up with a very good and reputable Bible College. I was inspired by the enthusiasm and passion of Professor Ronnie Moodley and the Facilitators & the in-depth of spiritual knowledge and education.
I find the teachings very helpful and user friendly & the material is compiled in such a way to be understood and can be applied in your daily life.

I was a student of Faith Bible College for 5 Years and was impressed with the Bible College Modules and its quality that after I received my 4th Year Ministry Major in Christian Counselling I applied to Open a Campus and educate other students in what I have been educated with.
The students in our Campus are not only excited at the Bible College Modules but also in the Change it has caused in them. I want to encourage Pastors who have a passion to empower folks with knowledge of the Word of God to become a Campus and to use the Modules of Faith Bible College.
You will never regret your choice in becoming a Facilitator/Principal of The Campus.

Student Testimonies from Charlene Davids Bible School
Leigh Hawthorn:
“I started studying at Faith Bible College, Western Cape to gain knowledge and qualifications to become a pastor and to be a Christian Marriage Counsellor. As a 1st year student the changes that have impacted my life through FBC are mind blowing. I have not only learned more about God and His Word, but have drawn closer to God. I have developed a better relationship with the Holy Spirit, hence this has resulted in better relationships with people around me, impacted my marriage and relationship with my children. FBC is an amazing and affordable way to study the Word of God, while building on your ministry and calling.”
Brett Hawthorn:
“Studying at FBC has changed my entire life. It has broadened my knowledge of the Bible and I have grown closer to God by studying His Word. The biggest impact was studying Redemption & Salvation: I became convicted to become vulnerable and share my life’s deep dark secrets for the 1st time with my wife after a marriage of 7 years. This has brought me and my wife closer together than we have ever been, there is nothing we can’t communicate about anymore, it has literally made my wife my best friend. We are only 1st year students & Our lives impacted forever.”
Renay Naidoo:
“As a new Christian I was lost in theology. I knew the basics from an early age growing up with Bible stories. After my baptism recently I felt God’s calling and knew I had to understand more. I felt lost and joined Faith Bible School and was fed and am enjoying the Word of God. FBC is the most amazing experience and a learning platform for me. I was with the fire of the Holy Spirit. It all came together like a puzzle — who, what, why and when. The teachings started to unfold and drew me closer to Christ. My encouragement — don’t procrastinate, enrol Now.”
Testimony 5 — Michael Alvin Clarence
When I first attended a bible college, I thought I knew everything I needed to know. However, during my studies, I gained insight, and a better understanding about the bible, and a better understanding of my role as a Christian.
I can confidently say that Faith Bible College is an amazing bible college. The facilitators are amazing. One builds a connection and relationship with them. Faith Bible College has the best programs that allows pastors, leaders, students, and believers to build many essential skills regarding faith, character, ministry, and application of the word of God.
Faith Bible College bestowed a new eye to the world, God, and to me. In fact, I became more of a man of prayer and character. My relationship with God has changed significantly, thanks to Faith Bible College.
I have learned to face the challenges head on but also to live different from it. I have gained knowledge to preach Christ in my context and environment with strong faith, self-trust, and without fear.
My plan was to study for 3 years but Faith Bible College is so amazing I yearned for more! I was accepted at Lighthouse Seminary & completed my further studies.
I would definitely recommend Faith Bible College to people who are interested in studying the Bible. You have so much to gain. All Glory to God!

Campus Facilitator — Dr Roshea Smith, Bible Equip Campus
My name is Dr. Roshea Smith. I am the Principal of Bible Equip Campus, a Satellite School of Faith Bible College.
Let me begin by first thanking God for the grace, wisdom, knowledge and understanding He gave me during my journey in studying His word.
In my 1st year studying at Faith Bible College in 2011, I had just come out of a serious accident the previous year where the medical doctors told my mother that I would be brain dead because of my injuries. At this time I was born again and serving in the house of God. I kept the faith and maintained prayer as a priority. I lost my job at SAA as a result of my injuries.
I then decided to enrol at Faith Bible College with the blessing of my parents. In the midst of everything I continued to study — it was Faith Based, holistic and inspirational as a medication to my soul and body.
The more I studied God’s Word, the more healing I received in my body. The doctors could not believe my progress and recovery at that speed. According to the doctors “I was not supposed to recover at the rate I am recovering.” But I told them that “God had healed me and will continue to heal me” — at that moment the doctor broke out in tears. Today I am completely healed by God!
I continued to study with Faith Bible College and even opened a Campus teaching the Word in my area and city. Do not delay — start your Biblical studies today. Or you can apply to open your own Campus with Faith Bible College, Johannesburg.
