South Africa: teaching amid myriad stressors

23 April 2026

Caroline and Dick Seed are based in Cape Town, and train and resource theological educators both in person and online. Caroline and Dick ask for prayer as they co-teach a PG Dip module on learning and teaching this week and next.

Pray for two students in northern Nigeria, who are doing their best to study despite a constant danger of attack.

Pray for both Caroline and Dick to be on top of the prep for the course, and for good learning opportunities for all.

Please also lift up background stressors: pray for them to find someone who can fix their car, for quick healing for Dick, who recently injured his foot, and for quick resolution of problems with a partner organisation.
