    TESTIMONIES  FROM  PEOPLE  WHO  ATTENDED
    THE  SEMINAR  BY
    The Institute in
    BASIC  LIFE  PRINCIPLES

    Date :  29th June till 4th July 1998
    Venue :  All Saints' Cathedral, Kota Kinabalu.

    The Institute in Basic Life Principles Seminar is a 32 hour seminar on "How to apply seven Biblical principles to resolve basic conflicts and discover purpose in life".  The seminar  clearly explained how problems we face today can be traced to past violations of these principles.  It will also reveal how many unnecessary problems in the past could be solved if certain steps of action had been known and followed.  These universal and non-optional principles of life have helped millions around the world find lasting solutions to personal problems, marriage pressures, financial bondage and parent-teen conflicts.

    Seminar contents include :

    • How to trace problems to root causes
    • How to overcome feelings of inferiority
    • How to resolve family conflicts
    • How to remove guilt
    • How to conquer anger and bitterness
    • How to have a clear conscience
    • How to experience true success
    • How to build genuine friendships
    • How to have harmony in marriage
    • etc.
     
    About 400 people registered for this one week seminar (conducted mostly in the evenings 7 pm - 10 pm, except on Friday and Saturdays full days).

    I thought the seminar would be boring because it would be hours and hours of just watching videos.  However, in reality, we hardly blinked because of the solid and captivating biblical teachings and also the many real life experiences that Bill Gothard shared.  His teaching is God's revelation to him from his 40 years serving God in the youth ministry.

    From the seminar, we all re-learned many good old biblical principles which Bill has put together comprehensively and in wisdom.  Many people are convicted about obeying and taking God's Word seriously and by faith.  Below here are some selected testimonies from the local participants.

    Testimony 3

    As a teenager, I find that this seminar has helped me so much that I can't express it in words.  I didn't miss a single session and am glad I didn't. I learnt that I need to accept myself as how God created me and also to have a grateful spirit. Throughout this week, I felt that God was teaching me His word.  I am blessed by this seminar and by those who made it so successful.   LOTS OF THANKS,

    Testimony 4

    I have attended a lot of 'How-to-do-something' christian seminars but never really learnt 'how to live a christian life'.   I am grateful for the Word of God that was being poured into me for the lord is here. I am grateful for a lifetime that I can envision now which is dedicated to God and to the working out of the 7 principles of life.

    Testimony 5

    Thank God for such excellent teaching materials.  I would save myself and my wife 20 years of heartbreak and frustrations that are a consequence of violating or not observing the proper procedures in God's teaching prior to marriage and we are reaping what we have sown.  Trusting the Lord's mercy towards us and our children.  Thanks.

    Testimony 6

    I'm grateful to Jesus, Lord of my life.

    1.  This week has been amazing for me. Last month was supposedly my last month at my work place.  Having an attitude of gratefulness of what the Lord has already blessed me, I surrendered my future to Him.  On the last day and the last hour at my workplace, I got asked if I could stay on another month. I praise God he watches out for my needs when I just surrender it all to Him.

    2.  I had wanted my car to be sold for almost 6 months to date.  It has been such a
    struggle.  Two nights ago.  I gave up the car and said 'God, that's your car, do what you want to it" Yesterday, I got an email.  The car was sold! Praise God.  He certainly knows  how to handle His property !

    Testimony 8

    That at the point of my turning back to Christ after years of back sliding the Seminar on The Basic Life Principles gave me insight that I have never known before:-

    1)  Suffering upon my Life was allowed so that I may stop sinning and to turn back to Christ and build Godly character which will be everlasting

    2)  That all I have done in the past is no longer important for me to start today to build virtues pleasing unto God

    3)  That my heavenly father will be the father to my fatherless children and Protector / Provider to all my needs.

    4)  The most important is for me to learn to overcome sin by applying the 7 steps into practical living. To bring up my children to be God loving and fearing.

    Thank You for those who has brought in this seminar which has greatly benefited me.  Praise God

    Testimony 11

    A number of the topic Bill Gothard addressed hit upon areas of my life that need work.  I appreciate the good counsel afforded by the seminar. I am particularly i am impressed by the need to relinquish all of my "rights" to God, to honor parental authority and to memorize, motivate upon The Word of God.
    The greatest immediate impact of this seminar has been to stir in me a new
    appreciation of the Word of God and the need to apply practically in my life. Thank You for bringing the seminar here!!

    Please continue in this good works.  I wish very much to home, school, my children age 15,7,2 and another are soon to be born. However, my husband has not agreed on it.  I were to has and drop hints that he should follow me.  Now, I've learn the right way to appeal, and then pray to God to do this work in him, mistake of my own hard nagging and prompting.  I trust God that he'll do in his time and ways.

    Timely reminder on being strong in God's principles considering the times that we are in now. Sometimes without us being aware of it, our standards have lowered due to the pressures of life and working in a worldly environment.  This seminar has strengthen my faith and reminded me about what in truly unimportant.
