The Salvation Army Southern Africa Territory rejoices with seven of our Officers who have completed their Higher Certificate in Theology through TEE College (Theological Education by Extension College). This accomplishment reflects their dedication to deepening their understanding of Scripture and strengthening their ability to minister effectively in their communities.
The graduating officers are:
- Lieutenant Nonhlanhla Mbane
- Lieutenant Anelisa Hoho
- Lieutenant Ntobeko Hlengwa
- Lieutenant Gcobani Makebesana
- Lieutenant Siphokazi Makebesana
- Captain Promise Phello
- Captain Gregory Phello
Studying theology while fulfilling the daily responsibilities of active ministry requires commitment, discipline, and a sincere desire to grow. These officers have shown perseverance in their studies, balancing corps work, community engagement, academic responsibilities, and family life with grace and determination.
The Higher Certificate in Theology offers a strong Biblical and theological foundation that will enhance their preaching, teaching, leadership, and pastoral care. It is an investment into their calling and a step that will help shape the way they serve both God and people.
We give thanks to God for the way He continues to raise up officers who are eager to learn and are prepared to grow. As these seven officers continue in their service, we pray that what they have learned will be a source of strength and guidance as they seek to extend the Kingdom of God and live out His love in every setting.
