We Serve a Miracle-Working God!
Saturday, September 15, 2007 will be forever etched upon the campus of Nazarene Theological College in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The mighty Hand of God moved upon the South African Council of Higher Education whereby NTC was granted accreditation of their bachelor of theology programme submission.
This decision culminates four years of planning and praying by the administration of NTC.
The ramifications of this high decision will impact the entire continent of Africa for theological education in the Church of the Nazarene.
Team leader, Bruce Jacobson said it well: “The WORLD is now NTC’s classroom.” Students will be able to receive a qualified and accredited degree which will enable them to secure viable employment and pastor churches. Many churches in Africa cannot pay their pastors a salary; but when students secure a BTH degree, they can support their families while pastoring a church.
On behalf of the administration of NTC, Dr. Lockard wishes to thank RFN for their continued prayer support of this vast endeavor. Prayer was a significant factor that led to the approval of the BTH.
Please continue to PRAY for NTC administration as they pave a positive way forward for God and theological education in Africa.
O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, even purposes planned of old in faithfulness and truth. Isaiah 25: 1
