Bernard tell us what influenced you to do this program?

David Njuguna works for the Undergraduate- CMP department as a part time lecturer. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Theology from EAST and is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity in Christian Education at Africa International University.

Mr. Njuguna, what is your teaching philosophy?

“Everyone can learn as long as they are shown how to learn.” I chose this philosophy because I believe that each person has a God-given potential that can be released given appropriate nurturing.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about taking basic theological training to the pastors and church leaders that are; willing to study but they are not able to pay for their training, willing to study but they too busy for full-time studies, and those who are negative about theological training due to ignorance/misinformation – for this group I am thinking of planning for a program of study that will not bear the “offensive names” such as ‘Bible college’ yet the knowledge dispensed Read the full story »

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 »
