2026 SATS PhD Scholarship & Internship
SATS is proud to announce the 2026 full PhD scholarship and research and teaching internship for emerging African theologians interested in Applied Hermeneutics for African Realities. The opportunity includes a fully paid PhD scholarship, as well as research assistance and teaching experience. Applicants are required to engage the field of applied biblical hermeneutics and African realities. Holding to biblical faithfulness and the truthfulness of Scripture, SATS is inviting proposals that embrace and develop a hermeneutic that accords ultimate priority to the text and yet grapples with the contemporary context for faithful application and relevance.

Counsellor’s Corner: The Courage to Forgive.
“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” – Colossians 3:13
Forgiveness is not about forgetting the pain but about freeing yourself from its grip. When you forgive, you reflect God’s grace and invite healing into your own heart. Ask God for the courage to take that step—it’s worth it.
If you feel called to minister to others through lay counselling or professional Christian counselling, we are here to walk with you on that journey. Supporting you in answering the calling in your life is ours.
Announcements: Two new courses are launching in the HCCC in term 3: HCC1129 Relationships and Marriage Christian Counselling, and HCC1128 Counselling Spiritual Conflicts in the African Context. Let us know what you think.
