News from Nairobi

The MIAS educational method trains students to use the skills acquired through their courses in their various vocations/ministries in society.

Recently a student from the Cameroon wrote that he is using his MIASMU cultural training to work with people in Gabon where he was posted for ministry.

The skills he gained from field research in Nairobi have enabled him to freely interact with his parishioners in that country even though their cultures and languages are much different from his own. He further stated that he has gained respect from the people owing to the way in which he is able to relate with them in an adult manner — a clear example of the long-term value of MIASMU’s systematic cultural training.
