Dear Friend,

What can Rwanda's closure of thousands of churches teach us about Christian ministry today?

The article on page 16 of the latest Southern Cross explores the recent closure of thousands of churches in Rwanda amid concerns about leadership standards, prosperity teaching, and accountability within church communities. While the story is set in East Africa, it raises questions that are relevant for Christians everywhere: What does faithful Christian leadership look like? How do churches remain anchored in biblical truth? And why does sound theological training matter?

The article highlights the need for churches to be led by men and women who know God's Word, teach it faithfully, and exercise ministry with wisdom, integrity and discernment. As Christians, we want our churches to be shaped by Scripture, not by cultural trends, personal charisma, or promises that place material prosperity at the centre of the gospel.

That's why ministries like the Preliminary Theological Certificate (PTC), featured on page 18, play such an important role in the life of the church.

PTC provides accessible, flexible biblical training designed to help Christians deepen their understanding of Scripture and grow in confidence as followers of Jesus. Whether you're serving in a ministry team, leading a Bible study, supporting your local church, or simply wanting to know God's Word better, PTC offers a strong foundation for lifelong learning and faithful service.

Through guided study, students are equipped to:
* Understand the Bible more deeply
* Develop discernment and theological confidence
* Apply God's Word to everyday life
* Serve more effectively in their churches and communities
* Grow in Christian maturity and gospel-shaped leadership

The article on page 16 serves as a reminder that healthy churches are strengthened by faithful teaching and a commitment to God's Word. Investing in biblical training is not just for pastors and ministry leaders. It benefits the whole church and helps Christians of all ages grow in faith and service.

As you read the latest Southern Cross, we encourage you to turn from page 16 to page 18 and discover how PTC can help you take the next step in your own journey of learning, discipleship and ministry.
