What people say about AICMAR

Rev. Dr. John Stott

‘One of the most striking features of twentieth century Christianity is the world-wide development of the evangelical movement. If it’s to grow in depth as well as in size, however, it needs a solid foundation in evangelical scholarship. Hence the strategic importance of AICMAR in Western Kenya. It will foster a creative engagement between scripture and culture, the ancient faith and the modern world, biblical and African studies, traditional wisdom and contemporary issues. It has my wholehearted support.’

Rev. Prof. Kwame Bediako

‘If Africa is going to fulfil its calling of shaping a new theology for world Christianity then there is hard intellectual and academic work before us… If African churches are untaught or untrained… then Christianity will diminish in the world.’

Rev. David Jackman

‘Faithful, relevant, applied Biblical teaching and preaching is arguably the greatest need of local congregations across Africa. I value the privilege of being associated with AICMAR in this priority and warmly support its resourcing and training initiatives, to enable many more church pastors to become “workmen who need not be ashamed.”’

Rev. Dr. David Peterson

‘…rapidly growing Churches need better and better teaching, to ground them thoroughly in God’s word.’

Dr. Henry Nyongesa

‘Creating opportunities for high quality African biblical scholars to do research and study in the African context will definitely strengthen the church in Africa. This project is very timely and I commend it to you.’

Rt. Rev. Wallace Benn

‘In Africa the church needs more trained Bible teachers urgently. This is a great way to help that. I am totally behind it.’

Prof. Bethwell Ogot

‘Excellent endeavour by any standard. Thank you.’

Rev. Preb. Richard Bewes

‘Africa is ripe for Bible preachers, teachers and writers. I wholly support AICMAR as it responds to this great need.’

Rev. Dr. Tim Ward

‘We are to take every thought captive to Christ. Vibrant, faithful, imaginative worldwide evangelical scholarship is vital, if we are to fulfil that task.’

Duncan Olumbe

‘The unavailability of relevant African theological resources is a major hindrance to quality research. I believe this effort to address this issue is of immeasurable value.’

Rev. Martin Perris

‘This much needed project to train African leaders biblically and ‘in context’ coincides with the shifting of the world centre of gravity of evangelicalism to the southern hemisphere.’

Rev. Randy Naylor

‘A wonderful privilege to witness this ministry in aid of the Word.’

John McKnight

‘Praise God for your provision of sound literature for pastors.’

Bishop Bonifas Adoyo

‘More people should know what is going on here.’

Dr. Apollo Bwanya Orodho

‘This is a wonderful facility in this part of the country.’
