When I first joined the OCRPL programme, I didn’t know what to expect. The first residence programme was instrumental in shaping everything I would do later. The faculty of OCRPL lived up to what they promised when they said, “We will support you throughout the process of your research”. They ensured that I had access to the needed resources and exposure to experienced mentors and supervisors. The OCRPL programme is unique because it creates a learning community of researchers, unlike many postgraduate programmes that are individualistic. My studies would have taken much longer without the financial, moral, academic and spiritual assistance of OCRPL.
It is a unique programme that integrates faithfulness to Scripture and academic quality and prepares people to engage various issues in society. I received quality supervision to ensure that my work can be on par with that of those doing research around the world. I have also learned, in a profound way, that bearing witness to God’s reality can be done in an academic way that is Biblically faithful and academically rigorous.
