Only today I understand that Mount Zion International School of Ministry has been the answer to my heart’s cry.

Some years ago when in the middle of rushing through life, amidst the daily busyness and pursuit for education, the Lord birthed in my heart this deep desire to be set apart and to spend time getting to know Him – a time of just listening to Him. I heard Him inviting me, but felt tied up in responsibilities and duties so that it seemed impossible for me to be set apart for such a purpose in my circumstances, although I longed for it so much. But with God all things are possible and He did a miracle and made a way for me to come to this place.

Now being here I give Him all glory because I cannot imagine myself in a better place. He has been teaching me to draw strength from Him and to walk in intimacy with Him. It was exactly here where the Lord opened my eyes to how much He actually loves me and cares for me. He is revealing His truth to me and this truth is truly setting me free. Still of all the good things I have learned, intimacy – times spent with the Lord is the most important – it is the beginning of all things.
