ACCTS Ethics Ministry

Prayer request from Capt Wandera concerning upcoming trip to African Table Top Mountain training later this fall:

“My visa application is currently under process at the South African High Commission in Kampala. I trust God that the visa will be granted so that I can attend TMTI26 .

As soon as it is granted, hopefully next week, I will engage to assist with the air ticket and any other facilitation that may be required, such as the conference fees.

Due to some bureaucratic challenges beyond our control, ACCTS Intern Maj. Rev. Yusuf Abaganda from MCF Kenya may not be able to attend TMTI26, as he has not yet been cleared to travel.

This means that I will have to represent ACCTS as per Terry’s recommendation. Terry Wichert has already sent me a presentation, which I will use.

I will also share on PTSD and CISD and, in addition, stand in for Maj. Rev. Yusuf Abaganda on Biblical Military Ethics alongside ethics Intern Lt. Melinyani Gobinca.

At the inception of all this, I never imagined that one day I would be in a position to stand and present, including on behalf of ACCTS. God is indeed amazing.

Please pray with me that God will allow His message to come through me as I stand to present.”

Blessings,

Jude

We are excited about the next steps in ACCTS Ethics Ministry in Africa! The establishment of ACCTS Biblical Military Ethics Ambassadors in AMCF regions beyond E Africa is in our opinion critical to the calling of the ethics team led by Jude, Ivan , and General Wakaalo in Africa. To be effective it will need the support of appropriate AMCF leaders that will oversee their work (previously done in their own country) in their region. Please pray for this upcoming training outlined below of interns who aspire to assist VPs in their areas as Ambassadors. Contact Jude for any additional info.

EXCERPTS FROM JUDE'S MESSAGE:
P r a i s e K i n g J e s u s ,

We have been encouraged to continue with our Mentorship
Training Programme involving the nine (09) ACCTS Africa
Biblical Military Ethics Training interns who are soon to be
c o m m i s s i o n e d a s Ambassadors. The participants
represent Military ChristianFellowships (MCFs) from
B u r u n d i , G h a n a , K e n y a , Nigeria, South Africa, and
Uganda.

We are pleased to announce that the programme will
commence tomorrow, Friday, 11 September 2026, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM East Africa Time. We are also honoured to have our Vice President for East and Central Africa, Maj. Gen. (Rtd.)
David Wakaalo, join us and share brief remarks.

Going forward, we shall meet every second Friday of the
month during the same time as well using the same link below.
It would be a great privilege and blessing to have you as our
AMCF VPs in Africa join us whenever your schedule
permits. Even if you could spare just 20 minutes, we would be
deeply honoured to hear from you on how we can best
develop as Christian, ethical mentors and, more importantly,
how we can effectively mentor and disciple our fellow men and
women in uniform.

Among the key areas we shall
be exploring are:

The Character of a ChristianLeader – John 15:16; Proverbs 29:25

Virtue and Identity Ethics –Matthew 22:37–40

Christ-like Leadership

A t t r i b u t e s o f E ff e c t i v e Mentoring Models

Elements of Jesus’ Mentoring Model

The Jesus Model

Discipleship and Multiplication

We believe that experiences, wisdom, and personal insights, particularly within the African militaryChristian context, would be
immensely valuable to us as we seek to raise another Ethical
AMCF Joshua Generation: Christian men and women in uniform who are spiritually grounded, ethically anchored,
professionally excellent, and committed to influencing
others for Christ. Your contribution would not only enrich our training but could also help shape the next generation of Christian mentors and leaders across our military communities in Africa.
We would be deeply honored to have you share with us, subject
to your availability.

May the Lord continue to bless, strengthen, and greatly use you in His service and in the transformation of lives and
institutions on our continent and beyond.

“And the things that you have
heard from me among many
witnesses, commit these to
faithful men who will be able to
teach others also.” — 2 Timothy
2:2 (NKJV)

Blessings,

Part of today's ethics training in Africa dealt with courage and a presentation by Brig. Gen. Tom Draude's USMC Ret of his experience in Vietnam where he received an order in combat that he had decided he could not obey. He showed courage even as he was in the process of being relieved of his command as company commander by his battalion commander. But the Lord stepped in when Tom was not relieved but praised for his action by a higher commander for his both physical and moral courage. The video is the Kenyan discussant and leader of the discussion of the presentation on various aspects of courage. Please continue to pray for Col /Dr/ Chaplain Jeff Zust USA Ret of ACCTS staff who leads the ACCTS Ethics Ministry and Jude and Ivan who lead the work in Africa. Submitted by Cal Dunlap ACCTS Senior Mentor.

Col Phil And Sue Exner USMC Ret ACCTS staff participated in the ACCTS/IAEC international Chaplain Training hosted in Kenya last week. Among the several topics Phil presented was biblical military ethics.

Summer break and reduced posts are over but posts will now be not as frequent as in the past. I am serving in a limited position as ACCTS Senior Mentor. Thus UNODIR I plan to continue some mentoring of ACCTS ethics ambassadors and interns by occasional posts on this site.

I hope to participate in next weeks last African Ambassador/ Intern 2026 training mentioned in the following exciting message below.

Note the trainers in the message are East and West African as part of their in service ethics activities.

I consider this effort is part of ACCTS new Vision 2035 of emphasizing "indigenous" ... African ...and "multiplication" .... each intern and ambassador teach new teachers not just one)

Again, the message below is from Jude and Ivan , African leaders of this biblical military ethics training . ACCTS overall biblical ethics training world wide is led by Col/Dr/Chaplain Jeff Zust USA ret, ACCTS staff member. ------------

Praise Jesus, God’s Ambassadors.

REPORT ON SUCCESSFUL CONDUCT OF TEACHING SESSION: "GOD'S CODE OF CONDUCT" FOR FLIGHT OFFICER CADETS*

1. Purpose

The purpose of this report is to inform the ACCTS Ethics Team of the successful delivery of a teaching session titled "God's Code of Conduct" for flight officer cadets of Nigerian Defence Academy, as part of their ethical and moral development training.

2. Content Delivered

The session presented a structured outline of "God's Code of Conduct," interpreted as universal moral and ethical principles applicable to military leadership and personal integrity. Key topics included:

· Integrity and truthfulness in command and followership
· Justice and fairness in treatment of subordinates and peers
· Accountability for one's actions before God and fellow humans
· Compassion and respect for the dignity of all persons
· Courage to uphold moral standards under pressure

These principles were grounded in scriptural references Micah 6:8 and explicitly linked to military ethics, professionalism, and operational conduct.

3. Delivery Method

The session was conducted as a lecture-based presentation without. The content was delivered in a sequential, explanatory manner, ensuring clarity and doctrinal consistency throughout.

4. Outcome and Cadet Reception

Cadets remained attentive throughout the session. Post-session observations indicated that the material was received respectfully. No formal feedback mechanism was employed, but the orderly conduct of the session confirmed successful delivery as planned.

5. Conclusion

The teaching on "God's Code of Conduct" was conducted successfully in a lecture-only format, achieving its objective of presenting a divine moral framework for officer conduct.
