A.L.I.C: ” MY GREATEST TIME, CHANCE AND CHANGE”
“Sitting before the president of Apostolic Leadership International College after the graduation orientation session, I asked, ‘Why didn’t this journey begin earlier in my life?’ Smiling, he answered, ‘These insights and approaches to training leaders in the church were not available until recently…’ My question was born out of unconscious regret for not accessing this exceptional quality of transformational leadership training at the beginning of my ministry. One thing, among others, is the confidence and repositioning I have gained during this training. What Apostolic Leadership International College has done is merge theological training with professional leadership and apostolic training, putting clergy on par with any professional anywhere, anytime, in the marketplace.
Having studied at other institutions, I boldly say that Apostolic Leadership International College’s curriculum is 21st-century compliant, especially in its bid to transform theology-laden pastors into professionals who are no longer ashamed, approved, and riding on the wings of excellence due to the paradigm shift injected by ALIC in times like this.
During the graduation orientation session, Apostle (Dr.) Patrick Utulu, responding to a question on setting standards, said, ‘What you don’t define will redefine your ministry.’ For me, this is a grand takeaway from this training. Like King Solomon concluded in Ecclesiastes 9:11, ‘Time and chance happen to them all.’ I am glad and proud to say that Apostolic Leadership International College is the greatest time and chance that has happened to me in life and ministry.
If life and Christ tarries, training continues at ALIC. I celebrate my president and all the lecturers of Apostolic Leadership International College. Remain lifted.
