A Visit with Stay-at-Home Scholars
by Elaine Vaden, scholar director, John Stott Ministries
JSM’s Scholar Director Elaine Vaden recently visited Africa to get a grasp of the challenges and rewards that the Langham scholars are facing when they study in their home regions. She wrapped up her travels in London, finding insight and connection with the Langham programs there. Here is an overview of her travels and encounters with scholars.
This trip provided much needed perspective on the “stay at home” scholars in southern and east Africa. Observing the context in which they live and study (and work), meeting the supervisors, reviewers and most particularly the scholars and their families, deepened and enriched my appreciation for their calling to teach and serve in Africa.
I will describe each scholar in terms of the country and institution, emphasizing their research and vision for the future.
