My name is Harriet Owino Scott. It is an honor to be an alumnus of such a wonderful University in Africa. I graduated in 2006 with a Master of Arts degree in Christian Education.

What are some of memorable moments you had as a student in AIU?

NEGST shaped and formed me in a number of ways. I still remember the grueling hours spent in the library devouring mountains of books. I’ve never read such thick text books in my life. I think with nostalgia about the diverse student population and the way I learnt from every one of them, the delicious nyama choma get-togethers for single students, the meditative moments at chapel and the great respect that I had for my professors; Professor Cole, Professor Wood, Dr. Raman, Dr. Nkansah, Dr. Starcher, Dr. Kivunzi, and many more, impacted my life as I sat in their classes.

What are some of the challenges you faced as a student in AIU?

Karen can have biting cold seasons, which made burning the midnight oil tough at times, and sometimes I lacked money to buy text books. Read the full story »

Mr. Stanlas Ndambuki is a 2001 alumni of NEGST, with a masters in church history. As a student in NEGST, he was part of  couples’ fellowship and the Bible study group. Currently Stanlas is teaching at NEGST.

Welcome back to NEGST! In addition to teaching, are you involved in any ministry work?

Yes, I am a pastor at A.I.C. Berea. I do church planting and discipleship. Ministry work is very difficult and challenging but this far God has been faithful. Ministry is very practical; one needs to be called to serve effectively.

Dealing with false teachers in the ministry is a difficult and trying venture. The most challenging thing for me is balancing my role as a man of God, husband and father. What gets me through these challenges is prayer and the experiences that I have acquired since I graduated. I have learnt to seek advice from other people who are experts in their fields.

Stanlas, tell us about your most memorable and challenging moments in NEGST.
