The most exciting thing about teaching at a theological college is seeing students go out into ministry.

Some have obtained a curacy and can look forward to a further three or four years of training on the job. Others have obtained similar posts as assistants in Free churches. All of them can now look forward to an assured salary and housing. Their future financing will be the responsibility of their church.

Different for missionaries

In great contrast to this will be those who have applied to a mission agency to serve in cross-cultural ministry. They have seen God supply their needs over the years of study through friends, churches and trusts.
