Greetings from the entire team here in
Cambridge.
‘Proverbs
22:6 King James Version (KJV) 6 ‘’Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it’’.
Our journey begun in December 2012 when we
felt a strong sense that the Lord wanted us to cooperate with Him to establish
an active Christian college in Cambridge. We contacted a group of Christian
leaders around the world who prayed into this and the travel begun.
Cambridge is known globally for her academic
heritage, but little is often said about the strong Christian heritage. The University
itself was set up to provide education of a Christian character. The famous
King’s College Cambridge was set up On 12 February 1441 by King Henry VI to provide education of a chrsitian
character as well as to help the poor. Top universities in the US such as Harvard,
Yale amongst others were equally founded on a Christian foundation.
It is no longer news that the Christian
ethos of many of these great institutions as well as other Christian schools in
the UK as well as US is nothing more than a mere historical information.
The world’s many challenges especially those
of the developing world calls for a new breed of leaders who have a strong
faith in God as well as excellent academic preparation. The vision of the
college is to help shape nations by shaping the hearts and minds of our
students. Our students will return to their different home countries to become
the leaders and change-agents those countries seriously yearn for.
Some of our key achievements since 2012:
·
Producing first-class graduates
who have proceeded to top UK universities.
·
Producing a chrsitian curriculum
that can now be used by schools in the developing world.
·
Creating distant learning
programs which can benefit students who cannot travel abroad due to costs or
other reasons.
·
Building a team of dedicated Christian
educators.
·
We have been able to support
other Christian schools in the UK and outside.
·
We have been able to work with
church groups on the journey of setting up chrsitian schools.
·
Recently secured a building in
central Cambridge very close to the university and excellent support facilities
for students (although we are required to finish payments very soon)
·
Accreditation with the Association
of International Colleges and Schools
On the 1st
of October 2018 we are reopening again to provide affordable world-class to
students physically on ground here in Cambridge and others outside the UK. We would
require the support of friends, churches and various groups in the following
ways:
1.
GIVE
2.
SHARE
3.
PRAY
Your support would enable us to continue to
be the voice of Christian colleges in the UK as well as to reach out to thousand
more students with our programs both within and outside the UK. The support
will also ensure that we can take care of some outstanding liabilities and to
secure a stable home for the college without the pressure to seek Government support.
Anyone who gives education already has the
hearts and minds captured. We must all work together to ensure that Christian
education returns to the center.
We are also very happy to discuss loan options
with a rate of interest around the (15%-17%) mark to be repaid in 9-12 months.
