South Africa: theological training

9 January 2025

We give thanks with mission partners Caroline and Dick Seed for training they recently delivered at the Anglican seminary in Chile to equip lecturers of theology in the country to make the most of their theology training in their teaching. Caroline and Dick are now back in South Africa and will each be providing training at George Whitefield College, where they are based, over the next couple of weeks, and at Uganda Christian University at the end of January. Pray for participants to engage with Caroline’s and Dick’s sessions and gain tools to help them improve their teaching.
