The vision for coming to AIU was as a result of his ministry
with the orphans between 2005 – 2009. He saw a need for a good curriculum that
will meet the total needs of these orphans educationally since none of the students graduated from their secondary school West African Exams with the
qualifications to enter the university programs. Hanruna shared, "I knew they have the abilities in
them to make it but something educationally to ginger them up is missing. I
strongly felt that those orphans are the future man power of the ministry and
so quality education is necessary to take them where God destined them to be."
Harura shares the rest of his compelling story about his journey to NEGST and the miracles he experienced here. "It is with this conviction that he trusted God for a good
school outside Nigeria and the Lord led him to AIU. I knew I was coming on self
sponsorship, and sold out my piece of land as sign of commitment and faith to
raise part of my tuition. I told myself, it is from this that I will surrender unto
God for provision. The amount I raised from the land was about 150,000 Kenya
shillings. My wife and I thought this amount could take me for one academic
year before God will come through for me. At arrival in Nairobi, I found that
there is a balance of about 20,000Ksh to complete just term one. The first
miracle took place when my colleagues raised 10,000ksh to meet up the 90%
requirement for me to write my exams.
In the second term, I was refused to write my exams due to
tuition. That end of term was my most bitter moments in AIU since I had not
known what it meant to study without writing exams due to the school financial
policies. The option I had was to park and go back to Nigeria but again the
airline ticket is as equal to the cost of a one term tuition. The dilemma drew my
attention to God and I resolved to go for three days. At the end of the third
day, a voice came to me: “I have come through your fees situation. Stop praying
for yourself and pray for others.”
Three days after the exercise, I felt the urge to meet with
Dr. George Renner to brief him of what I was going through. Dr. Renner prayed
with me and asked me to keep looking up to God. Just a few days before the beginning of
the third term, Dr. Renner e-mailed me to confirm that God has come through and
the amount needed to pay the school debt and the tuition for third term had been received.
The total amount needed had amounted to $4,000. On Monday the first week of the
term, Mrs. Mary Omolo emailed me to prepare for my previous term exams and
assured me that $4000 is been credited to my account from CLA. This great
assistance marked the turning point to my predicament. CLA donors allowed the Lord to use you to the end just to fulfill God’s dream in
my life. I can now reflect back and see my education in AIU as purely from
faith through your contribution. May the good Lord reward CLA and constantly
remind you that I am part of your crowns in eternity.
I am happy that I am graduating and looking forward to going
back to serve my people in Nigeria. I am not sure yet the exact ministry I will
be doing when I am back in Nigeria. One thing I am sure is that I have been
transformed to be a useful vessel in His hands. Pray for the safety of my
family back in Nigeria. Pray for the activities of terrorists (Boko Haram). Jos,
where my family lives is one of the targeted areas they are vowing to Islamize
or keep attacking to frustrate the church. Pray that God will defend the church
and turn them to Himself. Last week-end the terrorists attacked a village in
Jos and killed about 50 people. The following day, Christians gathered to
conduct a mass burial but they were attacked again by the terrorists and killed
close to 100 people including a Senator and other political leaders of that
community. Pray that the 50 decomposed bodies will be given a burial.
