I liked the clips but, I would not mind like a little short quiz. The graphics would need some updating, however it was good. Thank you.

Easy to follow structure. Mostly full of storytelling and bible references that support missionary work. The presents may be reading directly off a screen so the delivery seems a little stiff and uninspired. There could be a few improvements to the course visually, but overall thank you for this FREE course and sharing about god's words and god's work.
