Have you heard of the
University of the Nations (UofN) ?

I attended the GoFest conference last week...and really, it was a marvellous conference. It was a breath-taking sight with hundreds of missionaries from all around the globe gathering for the 3-day missions conference.

I was totally blessed and privileged to be with them, soaking with them in the presence of God, enjoying power-packed worship sessions and undeniably impactful sharings from great men and women of God from around the world.

I must however, share with you, the greatest discovery I made.

I have been asking God to show me a school which allows me to be trained in Christian studies, yet at the same time, not too academic nor theoretical. I want a school that offers a balanced training in the theoretical aspects and the practical aspects of the ministry of a worker of God.

There, to my delight, I saw an exhibition about a university which fits this bill totally well: The University of the Nations!

Alright, allow me to indulge a little as I share why I'm so impressed by it!

This university was founded by the legendary missionary, Loren Cunningham, and its sole purpose is to equip men and women around the world with skills and knowledge in a wide spectrum of fields, to allow them to work in countries which they want to be missionaries in.

The university consists of several campuses, including the 3 main ones in Hawaii, Switzerland, and India. Together, they house the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Science and Technology, Faculty of Mass Communication, Faculty of Christian Ministries, etc.

Do you ever feel you are studying something just for the sake of studying it?

Do you ever feel you want to step out of the confinements of Singapore and do something to the millions out there, for God?

Do you have a desire to bring the message of Jesus Christ to nations which have many who still do not know Jesus?

Do you want to study for a skill which can allow you to use in a specific country, and then through that, reach out to the lost in that land?

You will be amazed...just like I have been.
(And maybe, we may end up schoolmates someday...!)
