The evening was attended by pastors and church leaders from all over Manchester and the surrounding areas, in addition to many of the students’ family and friends, to make a packed house and a hugely successful and enjoyable evening.
During the presentations we heard various testimonies, including how God had brought a couple from London to attend WHBTC, even though there was no employment; no accommodation; and no finances to pay the fees! – but God provided for them every step of the way. So - not only do we teach faith in the classroom, but our students get to experience living and walking by faith everyday of their lives!
However, graduation is not the end of the road for our students – it’s really the beginning of the next phase into which God is leading them. Please take a look at the following testimony from one of our graduates who is now stepping into her own exciting ministry -
“My name is Rachel, and for me the best way to describe my experience in the training centre is “from fear to faith”. I came in fear and trembling (and under protest!) to find that God was waiting to transform me into a person of faith. Was it easy? No it wasn't - the course stretches you in every capacity. But that’s when you learn that the grace of God is there for you. And it truly is amazing grace!
I am going from glory to glory, being transformed into the image of Jesus.
I would love to think that my name could be added to the Hall of Fame in Hebrews 11 - “Rachel came & completed the course at Whbtc and by faith she.…?”
So - how about you?....."

Finally – a huge thank you to all those who supported our students on the night, and throughout their two years of intensive and thorough ministry training.

Come to the Training Centre and discover what your destiny is. God definitely knows better! I like His plan for my life so much better than mine. Why wasn’t I told before?!! It would have saved me quite a few years of pain and frastration. Still..better late than never!
