Theological Education in Cape Town, South Africa

Fifty years after Cape Town Baptist Seminary’s (CTBS) founding and 25 years after arriving in Cape Town, missionary Gail Davis heard God tell her to serve Him and people in a different ministry, one that she had never considered. Officially starting in January 2025, Gail will become the chaplain to students at CTBS. This requires being available to meet with students who are struggling. Students face similar dilemmas worldwide: a lack of community support, a struggle to understand the classes, and a lack of food. CTBS will have at least 103 students in 2025. Currently, 11 students are from other places, nationally and internationally. Learning difficulties increase with the need to understand English, write at an academic level, gain community, get medical care, buy food, and more. Ask God to help the students who struggle, and pray for them to ask for help and not remain silent. Intercede for churches to join in this ministry by providing community, food, and so forth. Pray that these churches will accept these students as family whom they should love. Ask the Father to guide Gail in ministry to the students and as she seeks help from local Baptist church members and pastors.
