"My experience during my Bachelor's Degree studies was both challenging and rewarding. The journey required commitment, discipline, and perseverance, but it also gave me an opportunity to grow academically, professionally, and personally. Through lectures, assignments, research, and online learning, I gained valuable knowledge and skills. The online learning experience was very beneficial and helped me develop self-discipline and independence in my studies. I was able to access learning materials, interact with lecturers, and continue my education effectively despite different challenges. It taught me the importance of time management and commitment. I greatly appreciated the teaching approach of Dr. Rev. Bestone Zimba, who was highly interactive and effective in delivering his lectures during online learning. His guidance, encouragement, and ability to explain concepts clearly made the learning experience more meaningful and enjoyable. The program helped me improve my critical thinking, research, communication, and leadership skills. The knowledge and skills gained have been valuable in my work as a teacher and pastor, enabling me to serve others more effectively and confidently. I am grateful to Tanganyika Christian University, my lecturers, and everyone who contributed to my academic journey. My bachelor's degree experience has shaped my character, broadened my understanding, and prepared me for future opportunities as I continue to pursue excellence."
"My experience during the Bachelor's class was very impactful. The teachings helped me in 3 major ways: 1. SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION: The classes deepened my understanding of the Word and taught me how to rightly divide Scripture. 2 Timothy 2:15. My prayer life and study life grew. 2. CHARACTER AND MINISTRY: I was taught humility, integrity, and servant leadership. God used the teachings to deal with areas in my life and to prepare me to serve people better. 3. PRACTICAL EQUIPPING: The courses on Counseling, Doctrine, and Leadership equipped me to handle real life issues in Ministry. I am now better able to help people with wisdom from the Word and the Holy Spirit. In summary, the Bachelor's program did not just give a certificate. It gave me wisdom, discipline, and a greater burden for God's people. I am very grateful to you Sir and to the entire school for pouring into us. Thank you once again. Yours faithfully, Pastor (Mary Ngulube)"
