This is Jesse Burns. I am one of the students who traveled to Tshwane. I want to thank Chris for setting up this blog. I think that it will become a vital part to our spreading of the news about our sister seminary in South Africa. The seminary is such an important place for Lutheranism in Africa and across the world. They are training men who will not only be pastors in South Africa but also men who are the future pastors of many countries on the continent. Please keep Tshwane, the professors, and the students (and their families) in your prayers. These men and their familis have made huge sacrifices to study for the Office of the Holy Ministry.
