Shalom University

Since 1961, Shalom University of Bunia has been training Christian leaders for the Democratic Republic of Congo, despite war, poverty, ethnic conflict, Ebola and COVID pandemics.

Through quality higher education, the school is raising up pastors, doctors, counselors, and agronomists to take the hope of the gospel to churches, hospitals, and society at large.

You can unleash the potential of Christian leaders in a needy place by helping Shalom University teach the Bible and equip students to serve their communities through development, agriculture, and medicine. Recognized as one of the 10 best universities in the D.R. Congo, Shalom has 1850 students in 40 academic programs including studies for accountants, Bible translators, IT specialists, ane more. Giving to a special project like this one makes a huge impact!

The School of Agriculture models innovative projects to grow more food in a limited area with less labor.  One small field of ¾ of an acre has 2,000 pineapple plants. One man who learned this intensive method from Shalom University was excited to plant 6,000 pineapple plants of his own. Sharing skills and resources like this enables Congolese to provide for their families and benefit their community. One of the latest project was to create an artificial lake to show students how to do intensive and extensive fish farming right on campus.  

With the help of your gifts, the new classroom building for the Shalom Professional Center is nearing completion.  “Advancing the construction of classrooms for the School of Management is an urgent priority,” said Ted, a Crossworld worker and professor at Shalom University. “We also need more housing for faculty and a new bus for student transport.”

Your gift will make a difference for the students and Bunia people, as Shalom University invests in a generation of godly leaders for the Congo.
