HAU Chaplains Receive Training Via Butterfield Foundation

As reported by the Chaplains Association of the Free Methodist Church... In mid-February 2023, Tim and Patricia Porter, along with Rev. Dr. Colin and Barbara Meneely from Belfast, Ireland, and Rev. Dr. Anthony Headley, a retired professor from Asbury Theological Seminary, went to Burundi, Africa, to train chaplains at Hope Africa University in partnership with the Butterfield Memorial Foundation. There were 19 chaplains/chaplain candidates/pastors from three countries and four hospitals: Van Norman Clinic and Kibuye Hope Hospital (Burundi), Nundu Deaconess Hospital (DR Congo), and Kibogora Hospital (Rwanda), as well as chaplains from HAU and other institutes.

Our students have continued diligently with their studies, the new agricultural program was launched, and we are scheduled to graduate a new group of doctors, teachers, ministers, and other professionals in February 2022.  Praise God. While the Covid-19 virus has not greatly impacted the University’s work, it has significantly impacted families’ ability to support their young people pursuing study at HAU.  In one of the poorest countries in Africa, even in good times, finding the financial resources to attend college can be daunting, now add Covid.  Concern about how they will pay college tuition and fees worries and distracts students from their studies; some despair and think of giving up.  So, today, our HAU students are even more in need of scholarship su...
