Miracle Bible College Prospectus 2017-8TESTIMONIES“MBC was like looking in a mirror and discovering the flaws that needed sorting out. I had tolearn to take responsibility for my own life and get rid of a victim mentality. I realised that I HADTO CHANGE, not the people around me and not my environment.” -Margaretha Broekhuizenfrom The Netherlands MBC 1996-1998“If you think you can get joy, peace, direction and purpose for your life in clubs; being cool;wearing nice clothes or having the hottest boyfriend in town, you are moving in the wrongdirection.I came to Bible College knowing God is the answer, I knew He could help me. The decision wasstill up to me, I reached the cross-road in my life where I had to make a decision to either serveGod with all I have and receive eternal life, or take the route the world makes so attractive, thatleads to death, destruction and corruption.Thank God I chose Him, and called my old life obsolete. I started a new life with God, makingHim the most pre-eminent thing in my life.At MBC I learned how to hear God’s voice with an open Bible, the Word became alive and Idiscovered myself in Jesus through spending time in the Word. I even met my husband in BibleCollege, and how precious it is to have a godly husband and marriage based on the foundationsof the Word. Jesus lives and is victorious and He wants us to be victorious too!”Adel Van Wyk. MBC Full time: 2000 – 2002“I have been at MBC and Harvester Reformational Church for 5 years. I met my wife Theresa inBible College. Since the first day I was here the Lord started dealing with me and blessing me.God is faithful and He blesses those who are faithful.I received my first instruction in Mime from apostle Leigh Collins and from there it only grew.Suru Blatter (Swiss Mime Artist) gave a workshop on Mime at MBC and invited me to study andwork with him. God had spoken to me before about going overseas.I have since travelled to Switzerland, Germany, India and Dubai working as a professional Mimeartist.When God says He will do something you can trust that He will. God recently blessed us with ourfirst house. For me it was a dream come true. Since I was a boy I wanted to have my own roombecause we were six kids, living in a two bedroom house.If you choose to make Him the most pre-eminent thing in your life, He will take care of thosethings that you think you need to take care of ”Derrick and Theresa Davids: MBC Full time 1999 – 2002; MBC Lecturers 2000 – 2004. Derrick haspresented Mime workshops at MBC Miracle Arts.“Before leaving Kenya, in my heart I had a desire to know more of God, get some training in the Bible,in ministering and the fivefold ministry. I didn’t want an institution, which is denominational, but onethat taught the truth and Apostolic doctrine. MBC has and is giving me that, though I still am not surewhat God wants me to do yet, I know that this is time of separation, preparation and consecration.MBC has revealed truth about me, the churches and things in the world; what God is doing today, andwhat the next move of God is. And so I will say, Here am I Lord, send me!” Florence Kiritu – Kenya,MBC student 1997.17
