After doing her gap year at Christ Church Midrand, Tasha had plans to study teaching. When a number of people suggested she consider Bible College, she decided that, if it was something she was being called to, she needed to at least apply. Now in her second year of studies, she can see that this is what God was preparing her for all along…
What have been some of the highlights for you so far in terms of what you’ve learnt?
One of the subjects that has really stuck with me is Biblical Theology – the whole Bible just clicked for me in a way it never had before, as I could connect the Old and New Testament properly. From then on, how I think about God’s Word has been radically changed.
Do you have an idea of how God will have you serve when you complete your studies?
I would love to go back to my church and do children’s ministry, and so that’s the plan Lord-willing, but we’ll see what happens.
How do you feel you are currently being equipped for this service?
I remember one of our lecturers at the beginning of last year saying that we will not be the same people we currently were, when we walked out of GWC’s doors. And that is so true already – I’m just so different in terms of how I think and apply myself to tasks. I remember preparing a Sunday School lesson for my church in June last year, and how I went about it was so different because I knew so much more and felt so much better equipped. I’m excited to teach what I’ve learned to some of the leaders that I’ll train, if I go back to Christ Church. Because I think that should be the point of theological colleges – that what is learned is passed on. I hope I can use my skills to better equip my leaders, who can then better teach the kids in our congregation.
