“There are 4c’s that make a leader.

• C- Calling a spiritual leader should be called by God.
• C- Charisma (gift); leaders are born with leadership gift, they just need to nurture and develop their gifts.
• C- Competence; Most of the spiritual leaders in our society are not striving for excellence; there is a lot of compromise. Read the full story »

My name is Jane Mwangi. I am a staff member at AIU working on full time basis in the Library and at the same time pursuing Masters of Arts in Mission Studies (General Track) course. I decided to pursue this course after developing a passion for mission work and specifically working with the less privileged in our societies. One course that I did was, Biblical Theology of Missions by Dr. Rasmussen. From this course, I learnt that God has a specific Mission in the world, which is redeeming or restoring creation back to its original design. Read the full story »

I decided to pursue this course after developing a passion for mission work and specifically working with the less privileged in our societies. One course that I did was Biblical Theology of Missions and I was taught by Dr. Rasmussen. From this course, I learnt that God has a specific Mission in the world, which is redeeming or restoring creation back to its original design. I learnt that God’s intention for creation from the beginning was good. The entry of sin however thwarted God’s original design for creation and therefore the need for restoration.

Laban Kitony, a 2nd year student pursuing Master of Divinity in Theological studies reflects on Dr. Bill Black’s  Systematic Theology class. He said, ” The work of Christ in humanity is absolute and accessible to everyone and it is not limited to a certain Christian organization or denomination. The church is actually the body of Christ worldwide. As Christian leaders we shouldn’t have judgmental spirit on what we might term as other denominations.”

Kevin Gitonga, a 1st year student pursuing a diploma in Christian Ministries reflects on a unit he did called Evangelism and Discipleship. “The call on us as Christians is vital. God has endowed on us special gifts, capabilities, and abilities which are to propel us to communicate, preach and live the gospel of  grace and peace in Jesus Christ. What I have learnt from this course is that deep in the sublimes of God’s heart is one chief agenda, and that is people.”

Elizabeth Gitonga, a 2nd year MA in biblical studies student, reflects on Dr. Stephanie Black’s Exposition of the book of Luke class. “In this course I learned how to read the Bible the way it is meant to be read, and how to differentiate between observation and interpretation of the Bible. The Bible has a strong message that runs from the very beginning to the end.”

Eliud Kiarie, a 2nd year Bachelor of Theology student, reflects on Dr. Debbie’s sociology class: “This course has taught me that we see things differently because of differences in upbringing and world views.”

Peter Kariuki Njagi, a 2nd year MDiv biblical studies student, reflects on Dr. William Black’s  Systematic Theology class. He said, “This course has to be the highlight of my seminary training so far! Perhaps it is because it is facilitated in a very interactive format, plus it works through to the core of doctrine. Dr. Black tells us that his primary motive as a facilitator of this unit is to bring us face to face with “our baggage”, because we are all carrying around baggage in our spiritual journey, and after we have been exposed to our baggage, “sort through what we need to carry on with, and perhaps do away with the rest!”

David Bawks, a 3rd year MDiv general student, reflects on Dr. Steve Rasmussen’s Contextualization class. He said, “The course looked at how you do ministry in a cross-cultural context. All theology is contextual and the Bible is the story of what God did in different situations. Our responsibility is to critically examine our situation as we minister in a particular context. Contextualization has become the  framework through which I look at the Bible, church and theology.”
