Friends Theological College received notice earlier this month that it has been granted full accreditation with the Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA). FTC is now one of just 14 accredited post-secondary theological colleges in Africa. This process has taken many years, and involved intensive self-study and improvement by the entire college community. Principal Robert Wafula remarked, “We have worked so hard on this process and are filled with joy at this news.” In celebration of this significant achievement, the college named the next calf to be born to the dairy herd “ACTEA”!
This new international recognition gives the college confidence in the quality of its educational offerings, and allows FTC students to continue on to graduate level work with a solid and reputable preparation. From FTC’s website, “The hundreds of men and women who have graduated from FTC’s certificate, diploma, and degree programmes are serving in a variety of ministries, including pastoral ministry, church leadership, missions, chaplaincy, social work, counseling, development, education, civil service, government, and business. Some FTC graduates, including the current FTC principal, Robert Wafula, have gone on from FTC to complete masters and doctoral degrees, qualifying them for teaching and administration at the college and university level.”
We could not be more proud of Robert Wafula’s faithfulness and wisdom in leading this work. He has been present throughout this process organizing and encouraging Friends. Please help us keep him in the field, serving God and the beloved community of Friends! You can support his ministry by choosing from the drop-down list on our donation page.
