This conference is sponsored by JWTC in part to
officially launch PSP in connection with the
Jonathan Edwards Centre Africa at the University of
the Free State. PSP provides post-graduate (MTh
and PhD) studies with the burden to provide higher
education that helps rather than hinders the work
of Christ’s church. For more details, please email
