OCU Reaches Out

Oklahoma Christian University recently hosted President Kagame from Rwanda. Below is an excerpt from an article about the event:
Oklahoma Christian University also announced that it is creating five scholarships for Rwandan students beginning in the fall of 2006, and will add two to that total each year for several years. One-half tuition will be available to additional Rwandans. Oklahoma Christian University president Dr Mike E. O’Neal visited Rwanda in 2004 and invited President Kagame at that time to visit Oklahoma. O’Neal said he was moved by President Kagame’s efforts to reunite the country.
My wife and I visited Rwanda in 2003 and were forever affected by the destruction that still lingered from the 1994 genocide, and the undominable determination of the Rwandan people to rebuild the country for their children. I'm so thankful OCU has made this partnership that will help breathe the true spirit of Christianity into a country seeking a firmer foundation. Praise God when his people reach out and extend the hand of Jesus to those for whom he came.

Great job Dr. O'Neal and OCU!
