No Barriers

Reports from Global University Students in the Field

A unique requirement of Global University’s courses is that the student must find a means to apply in real life what a particular course is teaching. Challenged by what she had been studying in the course Cross Cultural Communications, GU student Jessie from Alabama joined a team traveling to Kenya. There she found many opportunities to put into practice the concepts she had studied.

In churches, Jessie testified, preached, and worshiped with Kenyan brothers and sisters. She taught in the Bible School and held mini-crusades. In orphanages she played games with the children, prayed for them, and hugged them. She assured them that God wants to be their loving Father who will never abandon or abuse them. On the streets, in the slums, in humble homes, Jessie blew bubbles to make children laugh, changed baby diapers, ate meals, and shared her water. She and fellow team members made food for 150 people and with it fed over 400! Jessie told the people that Jesus loves them so much that He died for them on the cross. She taught the love of Jesus in words and demonstrated it in her actions.

Life of Christ Course Has Eternal Impact

The Global University course entitled Life of Christ had a major impact on a young student named Landon McAllister., His new understanding led him to impact the lives of over 100 children and adolescents.

Landon explains, “This course helped me by letting me see a wide range of Scriptures about Jesus, going in-depth about His life, death, and resurrection.”

Armed with a fresh awareness of the scope of Christ’s ministry and life, Landon organized his first outreach at a youth camp. He coordinated a drama to be preformed and a sermon to be delivered to a combined group of 80 children and teens in July of 2007 at the Circle Square Ranch in British Columbia. Seven children and youth were added to the Kingdom of God as a result of Landon’s willingness to pursue a greater understanding of Christ.

Sharing Hope

Reports from Global University Students in the Field

Victor, a Global University student in Kenya, had been studying the course Paul’s Salvation Letters: Galatians and Romans when he went to minister to a group of about 60 people. Many were discouraged after an incident of mass killings in their area and some were grieving for loved ones who were among the victims.

How could Victor minister to such hopelessness? How does a person bring answers to the questions such an event inevitably rouses? He directed them to God’s Word.

When you cross deep rivers I will be with you, and you won’t drown. When you walk through fire, you won’t be burned or scorched by the flames. Isaiah 43:2
