7 hrs ago | Views
Dr. Thabiso Ngwenya, the renowned prophet and leader of Faith Christ International Church, has added another significant achievement to his name, graduating with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Christian Leadership.
This latest academic accolade follows his honorary degrees received last year. Dr. Ngwenya, who completed his studies through Logos University, based in the United States, was capped in a special ceremony held in South Africa on Sunday.
In June of 2024, Dr. Ngwenya was recognized for his exceptional contributions to the religious community by two prestigious U.S.-based universities. He was awarded a Doctor of Divinity honorary degree by Maxilass University and a Doctor of Social and Leadership Management honorary degree by Logos University.
Reflecting on his academic journey, Dr. Ngwenya expressed gratitude and excitement over earning his academic PhD. "It was quite a challenging but fantastic experience at the same time. The desire to boost my education profile motivated me," he said. The prophet, who is also a retired teacher, explained how he balanced his demanding spiritual duties with his online studies, attending to his followers throughout the week while maintaining his academic focus.
Dr. Ngwenya emphasized that his educational journey was not just for personal achievement but also as a way to inspire the youth. "I used to read after church so that I could keep pace with my studies. As a community leader, it's important to be a good role model for the youth, inspiring them to value education and hard work - critical ingredients for success," he said.
Despite his fame both locally and internationally, Dr. Ngwenya remains known for his humble character. His leadership in the religious sphere extends beyond preaching, with the popular "bombing" method of addressing personal challenges being one of his trademark practices. He operates from a site in the Pumula South suburb, where many flock for spiritual guidance.
The graduation marks a significant milestone in Dr. Ngwenya's life and serves as an encouragement to others, particularly the younger generation, to pursue education relentlessly, regardless of the challenges.
Dr. Ngwenya's continued commitment to education and spiritual leadership has made him an influential figure in both the religious and academic communities.
