Serving in Beni, DRC
Training Future Congolese Engineers
Vision
Eastern Congo is a place of incredible natural beauty and vibrant people, but where corruption and poor insitutions have led to extreme poverty and injustice. Out of this context a university was founded; dedicated to the formative development of Congolese leaders.
This university, the Christian Biligual University of Congo (UCBC), is a place where local and international people come together to “be transformed to transform”, as personal renewal leads to renewal in schools, workplaces, families, and government.
As part of creating an exceptional engineering program, they have invited me to come and be a professor of computer science; to use my gifts in teaching, mentoring, and curriculum development.
I am fully reliant on donations and monthly support to cover living costs, insurance, transportation, and teaching expenses. If you would like to support me, you can do so at uwm.org.
Primary Roles:
Organizations
Congo Initiative

Université Chrétienne Bilingue du Congo
CI founded UCBC in 2007 to be a university that develops

its unique challenges with passion and integrity.
