Jennifer Hamm, United States -
I was a student at Southwestern
University in Georgetown, Texas. I am grateful to have had the
opportunity to study at Jerusalem University College. Studying in a
foreign country was an amazing way to enhance my overall education, I
was
a religion major, and was so blessed to be able to spend a semester in
the land of the Bible- the land where Jesus Christ lived and taught. My
life will forever be affected by this firsthand experience in the Holy
Land. I found that although the classes and field trips were wonderful,
the experience of living in a different culture made the biggest
impression on me. I learned that to really understand a culture, I must
spend time with the people. What an incredible lesson to grasp and carry
with me into the Mission Field. It enhanced my life, my faith and my
outlook on this world. |

Susan Caswell, United States -
I had never dreamed that I would study in Israel until a
professor remarked, "If you really want to study Hebrew, study
at Jerusalem University College." I have now completed a
year's study that will transfer towards my Master's degree at
Fuller Theological Seminary.
The year of intensive language study
and Bible Geography has revolutionized my knowledge and insights into
the Bible. The Bible has been transformed from a collection of
stories full of hard to pronounce names and obscure places to historical
accounts that took place in cities that I have visited.
The impact this has had on my spiritual
life has affirmed God's call to ministry as a U.S. military chaplain.

Fred Campbell, Scotland
- In March, I was driving along A9,
near home. I had degrees in the History of Art and in
Architecture, but I had a growing desire to take three years to
train for something Christian. I found myself wanting to go
deeper into the Word. So much in Scripture relates back to here
(Israel). My desire, and prayer, was to invest a year here, and
then go on to Bible College. Well, in brief, the door opened in
a Lord-determining-the-steps way, and I have now completed one
semester. What a difference it makes when one has stood in the
synagogue at Capernaum, or understood a word like ‘ruah,’ or studied the
history of Exodus to II Kings. Suffice to say that I am well glad to be
here. The LORD is good.

Jean Uayan, Philippines - What
was I doing at JUC? I had asked myself that question many
times having taught church history and theology at the Biblical
Seminary of the Philippines for 16 years. But I wanted to
understand the land better...because the geography and physical
features of the land are so intricately related to its history.
I wanted a deeper understanding of the people and the different
faiths they held so dear to their hearts. My time at JUC helped
me understand all of that and more. Financially speaking, it is
not easy for a Christian worker from the Philippines to come to
Israel and study for 7 months, and I thank my seminary for the
sponsorship but even more, I praise our Lord and Master for all
His wondrous and bountiful blessings.

Mi Sook Lee, South Korea
- Prior to coming to the Jerusalem
University College I had trouble understanding the history, geography,
and the cultural background of the bible. I was curious and wanted to
know all I could about God’s Word. Learning at the university was an
answer to my prayers. There are many advantages to studying here. For me
they have been the field trips of the Bible land, the experience of
Jewish religious life, and a familiarity with Hebrew language.
It is a remarkable contrast how much more alive the Word of God is
now for me. I am very grateful for what I have learned here. My future
plans are to continue my biblical studies, so I will be able to teach
the Bible in Korea. My time at the university has been very valuable in
learning what I need to know in order to teach effectively.

Monte Mugrage, United
States - After my first semester at Jerusalem University
College I went immediately to visit Russian friends in Siberia, where I
had served with CoMission for one year. My desire to give away my new
knowledge and insights was immediately realized, to the delight and
edification of my Russian Christian friends.
It was great to take the reality of biblical history to a land which
had decided to dismiss it all as a myth. Studying at JUC has
added both reality and understanding to my faith. Psalms and Proverbs
are far more rich, and the narratives come alive in my mind as I read
the bible now. Living in Jerusalem, within 300 meters of the walls of
the Old City, has been a great privilege. I just can’t keep this
knowledge to myself. For the rest of my life, I’ll share what I have
learned, with all humility. | | | |
