I must admit, my study of Master of Arts in Christian Ministry (MACM) at ACU has truly enhanced my effectiveness as a minister of God. It offered me a place to grow intellectually, spiritually and at the same time learning to live independently.<\/p>\n<p>My experience and encounter with the numerous lecturers at ACU are incomparable. They were committed to transformative and energized learning. One can find cherished, loving and dedicated professors who are more than willing to share their rich experiences with students; hence, deepening their scope of thinking, understanding and perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>ACU is an epitome of insightful and comprehensive impartation of the knowledge of Scriptures, which enhances one\u2019s vocation as a minister of God.\u00a0I can assure you, people will see the greatness and sovereignty of God in your ministry and your personal life as well when you pass through ACU.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I can boldly testify that my output in the ministry along with my personal life is now a point of reference and a source of inspiration to all. I want to challenge and encourage those who are enrolled but could not make it to the end to re-energize themselves and fight to the end.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few photos of Alexander and the other three graduates of the MACM program in Africa this past year. They had a wonderful graduation ceremony in Africa in June:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2059 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6665-490x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6665-490x281.jpg 490w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6665-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6665-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6665-768x441.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6665-1080x620.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2060 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6879-490x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6879-490x288.jpg 490w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6879-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6879-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6879-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_6879-1080x635.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2061 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_7172-490x264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_7172-490x264.jpg 490w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_7172-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_7172-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_7172-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/acugst\/files\/2019\/02\/CI_Grad_18_7172-1080x582.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alumni Testimonial My name is Alexander Maxwell Yawson, a recent graduate student of Abilene Christian University through the online Africa cohort.
