Our scholarship holders
Through their post-doctoral studies, our scholarship holders acquire the needed knowledge and skills for assuming leading roles in their home countries. In their future roles, they will proclaim the Gospel and the Good News. Moreover, they are committed to bring about tangible improvements to the living conditions of the people in their countries.
We will introduce you to some of our scholarship holders who, we trust, will provide a positive impetus for the church and the world over the next few years. You can gather information on the projects the scholarship holders want to realize and why it is worth it to support them by a full or partial scholarship.

Father Theodore Ozoamalu | Nigeria

Father Ozoamalu will obtain a doctoral degree in Theology in the field of Mission Studies at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg with Professor Chibueze UdeaniDuring a conference that was organized by the German and Nigerian Bishop’s Conferences in November 2016, Professor Udeani had identified the need for theological authorities to learn how to encounter and learn from Pentecostal churches. He therefore promotes the gifted scholarship holder whose research will focus on this subject.
