Voices of servants
What Our Chaplains Say
Servants of God share how the recently concluded Chaplaincy training by PPCSA, in partnership with Family Restoration Bible Institute, equipped them for ministry.
The Chaplain course prepared me that I will face different types of people who will be in trauma, accidents, abuse and violence. As the Chaplain I must be prepared to handle different types of situations that families experience. I must also refer people to experts if I am unable to assist. Give love, be patient, give advice and be available.
Attending the Chaplaincy Diploma online class was truly enriching and a life-changing experience. The training was well-structured, insightful and equipped me with both biblical and practical knowledge to minister with greater excellence and compassion. I am sincerely grateful to FRBI and PPCSA for investing in our growth and for creating such a valuable learning opportunity. I highly recommend this programme to anyone who desires to serve with integrity, wisdom and purpose. Grace upon Grace.
I am really blessed to be part of this Chaplaincy Diploma Class. I have learned a lot, not only for chaplaincy work, but for our ministry and church. How to carry myself, how to approach situations or crisis, and above all, how to serve the community. Our lecturer and the team were very professional.
The Chaplain class of 2026 helped us a lot to deal with problems like emotional, spiritual and psychological, and to help others who need our professional help. Now we know how to deal with situations related to chaplaincy. It is a good course for us as children of God to apply each and every time.
