Africa Renewal University

We have some big news...

We are applying to become a University!

Our vision of equipping Christian leaders to transform society has lead us down a path where we are compelled to train leaders for the church and leaders for the Christian ministries of East Africa. In order to do this we have been encouraged to increase our programs and elevate them to the Bachelors Degree level. 

Over the last 3 months we have shared this vision and have won grants from three Christian foundations and new support from various churches and individuals. It is exciting to see the support of this project!

As we head down this path we have developed four commitments which will define our vision of establishing a premier university  committed to equipping Christian leaders for the transformation of society.

1)   To develop unique programs with a Christian worldview embedded into the framework of each class

2)   To build a university campus that provides a model of our Christian Worldview in the way we care for creation

3)   To provide practical outlets for students to apply a Christian worldview through serving the community

4)   To become sustainable in providing Christian worldview training through recruiting excellent staff committed to producing quality graduates

This Monday September 3 at 2PM EAT we have been invited to present this vision before the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE). They have received our application and now they are asking us to give them convincing evidence of our commitment to this project. We would ask that you join us in prayer this weekend as we prepare for this presentation and specifically that God would grant us favor before the NCHE. The NCHE will then debate our application and presentation and give us a response by the end of the month as to our next steps in this process.
