There are moments in the life of an institution that do more than marking a date on the calendar. Instead, they inspire, awaken and realign hearts to the greater purpose for which they exist. Today in our institution, one such moment unfolded as we welcomed back two faithful missionaries and dear members of our spiritual family: Dr. Steve Manchester and Teresa Manchester. Serving under Word Gospel Mission, the Manchesters have become an integral part of our journey, with Dr. Manchester offering his leadership on the Seminary Board and Mrs. Teresa Manchester contributing significantly as a member of the University Council.
Their ministry in Kenya, which began in 2005, has not only spanned years but has also cut across cultures, classrooms, and congregations embodying the very essence of servant leadership that we aim to cultivate in every student at Kenya Highlands Seminary. In recognition of their remarkable work, our Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Kiplangat, extended sincere accolades. He commended their enduring commitment to the gospel and to the equipping of leaders in Kenya and beyond.
Dr. Steve Manchester also had an opportunity to share with our community during our mid week chapel service where he delivered a tired themed love. They later had an opportunity to engage with our vice chancellor, Prof. Joseph Kiplangat, our provost, Rev. Dr. Paul Lokol and the university chaplain, Rev. David K. Maritim where they touched based on possible areas of collaboration between Word Gospel Mission and Seminary to enhance productive in Pastoral Ministries training.
