SATS, Technology, and the Rise of AI: What Has Changed, and What Has Not
A message to our current students, future students, and the churches we serve…
From the beginning, SATS has existed to serve the church by training men and women for ministry. Our commitment has always been to respond to the call that “the harvest is plentiful—the labourers are few.” Our response is to prepare Christlike leaders in every church and marketplace ministry, from a Bible-based, Christ-centered, and Spirit-dependent theological education offering.

Counsellor’s Corner – Steady Progress
Where might God be inviting you to grow patiently rather than quickly?
“Not that I have already obtained all this…but I press on…” (Philippians 3:12, NIV).
As autumn settles in, rhythms slow and deepen. Mental health reminds us that sustainable growth is gradual. Paul acknowledges incompleteness without discouragement—an important posture for emotional well-being. This month, notice small signs of progress rather than focusing on what remains unfinished. Faithful persistence includes rest, reflection, and recalibration. You are not behind; you are becoming. God works steadily in seasons that feel quiet, shaping endurance beneath the surface.
Announcements:
We are excited to announce that SATS will be hosting a series of training events across South Africa from August to November, 2026, as part of the SATS Counselling Roadshow. These sessions will equip participants around the theme of learning to listen deeply and ask wisely when people hurt. Events will take place in Gqeberha, Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. Keep an eye out for upcoming dates and venues near you. Further details will be shared through official communication channels. Email candida@sats.ac.za for enquiries.
