Welcome back to the seminary!

Hello there Fellow African,


Welcome back to Asbury! My prayer is that all of you have had a fruitful summer and that this will be a wonderful new year! Happy new (academic) year! Now that the New Student Orientation is over, the rest of our seminary career has just bagan. There will be no turning back, hopefully. It is all forward movement . . . as we march with Jesus!

Fellowship:
On Friday, September 19th the African Fellowship will welcome our new African friends and their families to the Asbury Seminary community. Our plan is to meet on the evening of Friday September 19th. That is end of next week. I hope you all can make it! I am still working on the logistics of venue and exact timing. Please plan on bringing some food for a potluck.

This year, God enabling, the African fellowship will meet on the third Friday of every month. That is October 15; November 19 and perhaps December 17 or 10th (depending on exam and other schedules).

Whenever we meet whole families are expected and warmly welcomed. So, please bring your family and let us have a wonderful time together. I look forward to eating some of your food and to the wonderful fellowship that Africans are so good at.

New Blog:
I am glad you stopped by! This is our new blog. It belongs to teh Asbury Seminary African Fellowship. Please check back often on this our online "village square" for internal and external communication. I hope we will use it as a tool to not only communicate amongst ourselves but also to be hospitable to those strangers who visit our "village" away from home. I will need some contributions of your experiences, your hopes, aspirations, expectations, encouragements to one another, deep thoughts and any other messages that will be helpful and appropriate.

Please let all your friends know about our blog! Some of our families back home and friends both here and there will find this blog particularly beneficial for their learning about how we all are. In that way, we can be a blessing to them. And they too can be a blessing to us through their responses to our interactive blog spot.
Thank you and may God bless you.

The Rev. Robert Magoola, President
Asbury Theological Seminary African Fellowship
