17 leaders attended Institute in Ethiopia

OC’s seventh 2008 Institute for Excellence in Christian Leadership Development took place September 8-12 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; no Institutes took place in August. The event was hosted by OC partner Evangelical Theological College (ETC).

Seventeen leaders from strategic training programs in the region attended the Institute, representing Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.

During the five-day Institute themed “Leadership Matters,” participants focused on topics designed to equip them to more effectively lead their schools. All presentations and materials were available in English.

“As a theological leader, I found almost all of the topics addressed to be pertinent to my ministry,” one Institute participant said. “I have realized that to be a leader in the current African context comes as both a challenge and opportunity. I have learned to use the opportunity by leading with integrity,...reproducing others and caring for myself to avoid stress.”

The next Institute for Excellence will take place October 6-10 at Malaysia Bible Seminary (MBS) in Klang, Malaysia, and October 13-17 at South African Theological Seminary (SATSSA) in Johannesburg, South Africa.
