I am a 68 yr old Desert Storm Veteran who’s on disability, living on a budget, also with a learning disability and hardly no computer training or knowledge. I have taken a few College courses, which I did not do well.

I have a lot of negatives against me, however, if I can afford to go I really would like to see with Yah Hey Vav Hey’s help how far I can go. HIS WORD says, “ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

  Shalom Patricia,
  
  It is never too late to learn the Scriptures for yourself so that you are not at the mercy of man made doctrines and traditions.
  
  Throughout the journey at Hebrew Roots University, we are applying the things we learn. This is a daily walk that will last until we take our last breath. Our goal is to hear “well done, my good and faithful servant”.
