Mentoring of undergraduate students

If you are willing to assist in the mentoring process of undergraduate students you will be investing in the future!
You will be given a list of students in your area with whom you can correspond and encourage in their studies on a weekly or monthly basis. Because you have completed your programme of study, you have much to offer in encouragement and guidance. You will understand that distance learning is sometimes very lonely and a long process. Thank you for making yourself available to help encourage struggling students! Contact [email protected] for more information.

Participating in research projects

SATS desires always to be on the cutting edge and abreast of the needs in the local church. We will seek to undertake the following research projects:

Updating course material
Post-graduate research
Background research for published literature

Contact [email protected] or [email protected] for information regarding current research projects.

Writing articles for Christian Lounge

We are always looking for good articles and links to post on our website that students can use for assignments or just increase their knowledge on different issues. Sermon notes are also a great help! Send them through to [email protected] for evaluation/editing.
