Students in Medellin were so deeply moved by the course on prophets that was held last weekend. Many of them said they wished the class could have been longer. \u00a0There was so much more they wanted to learn and discuss. In response to the class Shyrley wrote, &#8220;What would I be without God?! I need God so much. And the prophets teach me about what it means to love God above all things and that this is the way God loves us.&#8221; \u00a0Students in Bogota and Barranquilla will have the opportunity to take this module on the prophets during the month of September.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3433\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/isaza\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/08\/b9e5752e-4c84-4775-9787-3fe0337eae57-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/isaza\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/08\/b9e5752e-4c84-4775-9787-3fe0337eae57.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/isaza\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/08\/b9e5752e-4c84-4775-9787-3fe0337eae57-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/isaza\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/08\/b9e5752e-4c84-4775-9787-3fe0337eae57-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/isaza\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/08\/b9e5752e-4c84-4775-9787-3fe0337eae57-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/isaza\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/08\/b9e5752e-4c84-4775-9787-3fe0337eae57-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One student, when asked why he is taking the certificate program responded,\u00a0\u201cI consider this certificate program to be important because it gives me the tools to study the most important text we have: the Bible.
