Historic UofN Graduation

by Sindre Vaernes - September 12, 2009

24 UofN students from many nations, gathered in five geographic locations to join the same graduation ceremony via GENESIS. In the history of our mission, this has never happened and is a display of our embracing of all nations, that everyone has an opportunity to grow and learn in order to live their life to the fullest. From Ukraine, North Africa, South Africa, Switzerland and Hawaii, the graduates joined in together with the UofN leadership and college deans.

Each student was honored and we could learn that they had altogether studied and done field work in 64 nations. Truly global! All five sites could see the faces of the graduates that have worked hard and persevered to reach this milestone in their lives. We heard testimonies and could later on transition into a local celebration of the individual groups.

It is wonderful to see people pursue such equipping in order to be more fruitful and we believe each one of these have been called and equipped for such a time as this.
