What's next in 2012?

2012 is set to start off with a burst of activity!

BACHELORS DEGREES
In January we will be handing in our application to the National Council for Higher Education to begin offering Bachelors Degrees. This is the next big step in the accreditation process. If our application is accepted we will begin admitting students into our Bachelors Degree programs in 2013. The staff will be working throughout the year to design and develop these new programs.

DORMITORY EXPANSION
With over 200 students expected to report on January 29 and a Bachelors Degree attracting 300 students in 2013 it is time to complete our third dormitory building. In November we received a grant for $25,000 to begin this project. From now through April we are working to raise an additional $80,000 to complete this project by September 2012. Our giving information is below and you can designate funds for this project by simply adding "ARCC Build" to the memo line.

Your prayers and support for leaders in Africa will impact communities for generations to come! 

Our first year in Buloba!

What an amazing year!

We started the year in boxes as we transitioned from Gaba to Buloba. Over the Christmas and New Years holiday 32 staff moved to Buloba and we all reported to work in January to find 100 construction workers on campus preparing the new facilities.

By February students were reporting while the renovations were still taking place. Picnic tables were used as offices, classrooms were temporary dormitories and we ended up with our largest intake of students ever.

By March 25th the Prime Minister of Uganda Apolo Nsibambi was officially opening our new Buloba campus while the paint on the walls was still drying!

Throughout the months of May-August our campus gained total access to student's with disabilities and our computer lab received a major overhaul doubling from 20 computers to 42!

By September we had 155 students of which 70 were receiving scholarships from you, our friends and supporters! Throughout the term these students gave back to ARCC by volunteering 7,000 hours in the kitchen, library, office and IT lab and an additional 2,500 hours on the farm and campus maintenance projects during our Friday Community Days.

God's provision continued to amazes us was we completed our $250,000 Renovation Project in June and were then able to raise an additional $100,000 from June to December to buy 4.25 acres.

Looking back this has truly been an amazing year! Step by step we are watching God transform our college into a premier training center for training the next generation of Christian leaders for Africa!

Thanks for you for partnering with us to equip Christian leaders for the transformation of society!   

2011 Testimonies

Through the Alumni of ARCC the gospel is spreading throughout East and Central Africa. Here is a small glimpse of the impact our students are having in their churches and communities:

Jimmy, Julius, John, Moses, Allan and Edison have planted churches in Uganda and Rwanda 

Michael, Rogers, Pascal, Robert, Ruben, Nathan, Apollo, Eric, Godfrey, Geoffrey and a host of other continue to serve as Pastors in established churches proclaiming the gospel and making disciples

Emmanuel, John-Baptist and Godfrey serve as overseers of the churches in their districts caring for groups from 30-300 pastors each

Paul, Dorothy, Raymond, Alice, John, Emmanuel and Fridah are actively building up the church and spreading the gospel through their music ministries

Ronald, Fridah, Miriam, Francis and Albert have been sent out as missionaries to Northern Sudan, Nigeria, Congo, Kenya and the Philipinnes

Moises has established a fellowship and bible study for the disabled community in Rwanda

Francis, Dennis, Enoch, Ronald, Moses, Harriet, David, Atrici, Prudence and Mark have strengthened Bible training centers in Kampala, Kiwoko, Lira, Soroti and Burundi 

Dorothy, Patrick, Sarah, Doreen, Carolyn and Thomas have transformed Child Sponsorship programs through their commitment to preaching the gospel and counseling children 

And the cry of the African pastors and leaders for more training is being answered as our programs continue to grow!

We are so encouraged to see our Alumni spreading the gospel to the nations and pray that God will continue to raise up leaders to expand His Kingdom!
