University Summit

In April our team hosted a University Summit for LivingStone International University. They had one in 2006 where they established goals and set steps to be taken before the next summit. Since LIU has now received the “go-ahead” from the Ugandan Counsel for Higher Education, there is much to be done. Some people flew in from the States to help out. Delegates from numerous countries in Africa showed up to offer their support and advice. The highlight for me was when Dr. Ntero spoke at our closing session. Dr. Ntero was the first East African woman to go to University. She has an incredible story! I could listen to her talk about her life for hours and not get bored. I wish that I could share her story with you, but I’d struggle to get it all right. Another really awesome thing that happened was when a surprise guest showed up during one of the sessions. A former Minister of Education happened to be in town and happened to be at the hotel where the conference was taking place. This man was quoted just the day before in a presentation by Shawn, and the next day he “happens” to be there to speak for himself. God is so good!
While there are many things I would like to tell you about the summit, I can’t because I was either in school teaching or helping run errands for it. The best way to get a better picture of the summit is to check out LIU’s website and read the blogs on the summit (you can also read more about LIU while on the site). A prayer point—please pray for LivingStone International University and the men and women working to establish it providing Christian education to this region of Uganda and East Africa.
