May you keep up the good work of empowering servants of God. May God bless the institution and the leaders richly.” ~ Oscar Malete / 2023

“After joining ATS, as I was studying Church History, I read about a Bolobedu king named Kgashane who renounced his tradition and eventually he was killed for his faith. Fortunately, I found a book titled Kgashane by S.P.N Makwala. The question that arose after reading this book was, “if he could renounce his traditional beliefs for Jesus, why can't I?” He was a king! So I also renounced the belief systems I grew up in, and fully followed Jesus.” ~ ATS student / 2024

“There is lot of information we received from the lecturers - ATS is a Word-based seminary with Jesus as a centre of the studies.” ~ ATS student / 2023

“As I was going through the Missiology (MS711) module on the Biblical Foundation of Evangelism, I found myself deeply moved and personally connected to the examples of Paul, Peter, and other apostles who took it upon themselves to disseminate the Gospel, often in the most challenging of circumstances.

Their courage and commitment reminded me of my own journey during my time of incarceration, where I was privileged to start a small church within the prison. What began as a fellowship of just 18 members eventually grew into a powerful movement. As we matured spiritually, we felt compelled to go into other sections of the facility to share the message of Christ. By God's grace, within five years, nearly 300 inmates had come to know the Lord and turned over a new leaf.

Reading this module affirmed that the call to evangelism is not bound by circumstance but fueled by conviction and compassion. It resonated with me 100%, and I wanted to express how grateful I am for the opportunity to reflect on such foundational truths in this course.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our learning.” ~ Solly Mankga / 2025
