Question:
Answer:
Thank you so much for your kind words — I truly appreciate your heart and passion for ministry and education. Since you mentioned “Can I join you,” I assume you’re interested in continuing your studies or possibly applying for a scholarship, internship, or transfer opportunity abroad.
Let’s break down what you might need depending on your goal:
1.If You Want to Transfer or Continue Your Studies Abroad (After Graduation)
You can absolutely plan to apply for a master’s or theology-related program abroad after completing your bachelor’s in 2027. Many international universities (especially in the U.S., Canada, Netherlands, Germany, and South Africa) offer fully funded scholarships for graduate studies in theology, divinity, or related fields like pastoral ministry and community development.
What You Will Likely Need:
- A strong academic record from your bachelor's program.
- A passport and valid national ID.
- Proof of English proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, or a letter from your college if it's taught in English).
- A statement of purpose or testimony explaining your calling, vision, and goals in ministry.
- Recommendation letters from your college or pastors.
- Possibly a research proposal if it's a research-based program.
- Some programs may also require you to show community involvement or ministry experience.
🏠 2. Accommodation and Living Costs
When applying to study abroad:
- Many fully funded scholarships (like the Chevening Scholarship, DAAD, Mastercard Foundation, etc.) cover tuition, accommodation, health insurance, visa, and monthly stipend.
- If your scholarship is partial, you may need to budget for accommodation. Dormitories, student hostels, and church-based housing options may be available depending on the country.
📍 3. Where to Apply After 2027
Here are some countries that welcome students in theology and offer scholarships:
| Country | Scholarship Examples | Language | Notes |

| USA | Fulbright, university-based theological scholarships | English | Many faith-based universities |

❤️ 4. Final Encouragement
You have time until 2027 to prepare well. Use this time to:
- Improve your English writing and speaking.
- Gather certificates of your community or ministry work.
- Build strong connections with your teachers and leaders for future references.
- Keep praying and seeking God’s direction for your next step.
