message from ceo
Welcome to Excel Theological Training Academy!
We want to equip pastors for their ministry in the local church through an accredited program in order to adhere to the commission of Jesus and to establishment the church on the foundation of Christ. I know that your participation in our training program will be one of the most transforming experiences of your journey. Our programs are specifically designed to train you to become an efficient, effective and skilful pastor in ministry. I want to encourage you to put your heart, mind and body into this training. When you don’t invest significantly you will not finish what have you started. It’s like the story of a small boy that throws his hat over a very high wall. His friend shocked because of this irresponsible act asked: Why did you do this? His answer was: Now I have to get over the wall to retrieve my hat! Throw your heart into this training and your life will follow with the result of receiving your qualification and at the end to become an effective minister of the Gospel of Christ! – Dr Ernrich Basson
