I have always seen myself getting a Bachelors degree in something and then moving on. I would get a job. I would start my career. Kids would follow. And I would be off to Africa at some point. More schooling after my Bachelors was something I would never have intended. But God had something different in mind... Doesn't He always?
While we were in Uganda, my heart was burdened for the believers there. Here, I can go to Bible College pretty easily. Yeah, University is expensive, but I have Financial Aid, Scholarships, and the option of payment plans. There, not at all. Thus many who feel called to the ministry are not able to go to school.
How cool would it be to begin a Bible College in Uganda? And how cool would it be for both African and American alike? It would be a great opportunity for Americans who want to be professors, pastors, teachers, missionaries, etc. could go down and teach and get experience. And for Ugandans, they could have a Bible College completely based on Scripture and Americans could provide scholarships or sponsorship.
It sounds crazy big when I say it. I haven't really told anyone until now. I have no clue how it'll work, but I believe someday I will see it come to fruition.
So what does my education matter? Well, the time that I spend in America, I have decided I want to be a Bible College professor. I know. I do not seem like the type smart enough to do something like that. And private universities are more and more requiring a doctorate in order to teach. I truly believe my experience as a teacher here in America would help me to run the school in Uganda. But that means I have to go on beyond just my Bachelors and my Masters and become Dr. Dunn. That sounds weird. Dr. Dunn?
Holy buckets, batman.
