I looked at traditional Bible colleges and seminary programs, and they all seemed unattainable due to financial or time restraints, or a need to relocate. One day, the pastor of our church asked if I had ever considered attending seminary, and I admitted I had, but that I neither had the time nor the finances to pursue it. I am grateful he knew about the Reformed Baptist Seminary (RBS) and the Church Partnership Program, which provided me with both the time and means to pursue my Diploma of Theological Studies.

I was raised in the LDS religion for 19 years before our sovereign God graciously changed my heart, opened my eyes, and made my deaf ears to hear. I could no longer deny Jesus Christ as my Lord, my God, and my Savior.

I found RBS to be a sanctuary of sound doctrine—thoroughly centered on Christ, graciously Reformed in its convictions, and remarkably relevant for a pastor serving in the complex environment of an urban African context.

God has called me to serve His people through teaching, preaching, and leadership. As academic dean and vice president of the Institute of Pastoral and Theological Training (IPTT) in Nigeria, I have the privilege of equipping pastors and Christian leaders in sound doctrine, faithful hermeneutics, and biblical pastoral ministry.

I was raised in a Hindu family and used to join with my family in idol worship during various festivals in India. God in his providence, ordained circumstances in my life that allowed me to hear about Christ in various settings.

Over the past two years, the Reformed Baptist Seminary has deepened my understanding of Scripture and strengthened my ability to serve the church I love.
