In commemoration of the 140th anniversary of Korean missions, prominent leaders of the Korean Church visited our university from January 26 for three days, reaffirming their commitment to supporting and collaborating in the fields of educational and media missions. This significant occasion was graced by the presence of esteemed leaders, including Rev. Chul Lee (Former Presiding Bishop), Rev. Jung Seok Kim (Presiding Bishop), Rev. Jong Hyuk Kim (General Assembly Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Korea – Hapdong), and Rev. Young Gul Kim (General Assembly Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Korea – Tonghap). Accompanying them were Chairman Kyeong Chul Kam (CTS) and Vice President Do Young Kim. The delegation was warmly welcomed at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam by Prof. Sung Soo Kim, Vice Chancellor and Prof. Thierry, Deputy Vice Chancellor, as well as representatives of administrative staff and faculty members.

On the first day of their visit, the delegation toured Faith Kindergarten and King’s Vision Middle School, affiliated with The United African University of Tanzania (UAUT), where they encouraged the students and teachers. They then proceeded to The United African Technical College (UATC), the university’s technical and vocational training institution, to gain firsthand insight into the higher education programs offered on campus. Additionally, the denominational leaders held a special meeting with missionaries representing various denominations, sharing updates on the current state of missions and offering mutual encouragement.

Moving forward, the faculty and students of UAUT remain steadfast in their commitment to fulfilling the vision and the mission of UAUT via Education and Media ministry. In partnership with major Korean denominations, the university will continue to expand its transformative impact, bringing the gospel to Tanzania and the wider African continent through the power of education and media.
