I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. Alberta Camp Meeting Camp Meeting Alberta 15- 23, 2016 July Ephesians 3:7 (NIV) Message from the President Welcome to Alberta Camp Meeting 2016! When Paul wrote to the Ephesians, he commented, “I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace…” (Ephesians 3:7), hence the theme, “Servant of Grace.” Healthy leadership is a core value our Conference embraces and Scripture is full of examples. Noah demonstrates leaders persist in doing right even if they have to stand alone, Joseph proved good leaders endure in spite of diffi culties, Moses validates that leaders accept counsel, Deborah displayed a willingness to come along side of her peo- ple when diffi cult tasks are to be accomplished, David exhibited incredible courage and Jesus reveals that a true leader is focused on serving rather than being served. Perhaps the greatest threat to healthy leadership is egotism. Lucifer, a talented leader in God’s universe succumbed to pride. It leads to self-exaltation, a desire to control and ma- Ken Wiebe President nipulation. Even Jesus’ disciples openly sought to be the greatest and Jesus reminded Alberta Conference them, “But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant” (Matthew 23:11). Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges in their book, Lead Like Jesus make this noteworthy statement, “Most of the leadership that shapes our lives does not come from leaders with titles or an organization chart; it comes from leaders in our daily life role relation- ships” (page 10). -

Valley View University and Catholic University College of Ghana Gasu- Strengthening Higher Der.Indd 164 14/11/2018 23:28:28 8
SECTION IV Two Private Universities: Valley View University and Catholic University College of Ghana Gasu- Strengthening Higher der.indd 164 14/11/2018 23:28:28 8 Valley View University From Missionary College to a Chartered University The Valley View University (VVU) has the singular distinction of being the first chartered private university in Ghana. The institution has a vision of becoming ‘…a leading Centre of Excellence in Christian Education’ (VVU 2014). The University, therefore, seeks in its mission statement to emphasise ‘…academic, spiritual, vocational and technological excellence in a context that prepares lives for service of God and humanity’ (VVU 2014). The statements pertaining to the University’s vision and mission provide some insights into its ecclesiastical origins; even as efforts are being made to wed the theological with secular education. The origins of the Valley View University can be traced to the setting up of the Adventist Missionary College at Bekwai-Ashanti in 1979. The Adventist Missionary College was founded by the West African Union Mission of Seventh- day Adventists, with the intent of training clerics for the Seventh-day Adventists mission. The Missionary College was relocated to Adentan near Accra in 1983, where it was housed in a rented premise. The Adventist Missionary College was moved, yet again, from Adentan to its present site at Oyibi in 1989; and was renamed the Valley View College. With the liberalisation of the higher education system that allowed the operationalisation of private actors in the sector, the Valley View College, in 1995, became an affiliated institution to the Griggs University in Silver Springs, USA. -

1 Combating Syncretism in Contemporary Seventh-Day
COMBATING SYNCRETISM IN CONTEMPORARY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH THROUGH ENLIGHTENED MINISTRY Paper Presented at the 3rd International Conference on THE FUTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN AFRICA By Philemon O. Amanze, Babcock University Felix Njini, Solusi University, Zimbabwe Josephat Hamoonga, Solusi University, Zimbabwe Justino Paulo, Solusi University, Zimbabwe August 24 – 26, 2015 1 Abstract COMBATING SYNCRETISM IN CONTEMPORARY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH THROUGH ENLIGHTENED MINISTRY This research paper revealed that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is faced with the challenge of syncretism especially in Africa. A combined narrative and case study approach were used in the study. In order to establish a conceptual framework of the study a review of relevant literature was done. The research delved into establishing a conceptual framework of syncretism within the church in an African context. It proceeded to explore the biblical perspective of combating syncretism. The African traditional worldview was found to be the guiding compass of many professed church members. On the other hand the biblical perspective of combating syncretism was explored, and suggestions made to church leadership on Bible based methods of combating syncretism. The research revealed that the visible manifestation of syncretism is multifaceted and largely motivated by the presence of unfulfilled felt needs of the church members. The need to maintain community solidarity and inability to withstand life’s challenges were highlighted as the main contributors to syncretic practices. A paradigm shift of doing evangelism where the focus is on winning families and strengthening nurturing strategies were also brought into perspective. It was discovered that new church members as well as old ones need to be grounded in biblical truth through a comprehensive teaching ministry that focuses on areas that address the traditional African worldview. -

Transmitting Christian Values in Teaching Law of Contract at Solusi University
173 Institute for Christian Teaching Education Department of Seventh-day Adventists TRANSMITTING CHRISTIAN VALUES IN TEACHING LAW OF CONTRACT AT SOLUSI UNIVERSITY by Ellah Kamwendo Solusi University Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 593-05 Institute for Christian Teaching 12501 Old Columbia Pike Silver Spring, MD 20904 USA Prepared for the 33rd International Faith and Learning Seminar held at Helderberg College, South Africa January 30- February 11, 2005 174 TRANSMITING CHRISTIAN VALUES IN TEACHING LAW OF CONTRACT AT SOLUSI UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION One of the challenges that confront Christian teachers in secular schools is integrating Christian values in teaching. I am very fortunate because I teach at Solusi University, our own Seventh-day Adventist University, where so many opportunities come my way that I use to integrate Christian values to my students. I teach several courses in the Department of Management and Marketing, one of which is Law of Contract, which deals with contractual agreements. Contractual agreements to trade have to do with profit from delivery of goods and services. The goal is to produce a surplus or add value to contractual transactions agreed upon. In order to succeed in this profit-oriented motive, parties to a contract who are not under the influence of the Holy Spirit and have no Christian values, engage in questionable, unethical or illegal activities in order to win lucrative contracts. As such, most developing countries are faced with contractual problems like adulteration of products, inappropriate pricing, bribes or manipulation of tax returns. Contracts are acquired by giving money under the table. Government has all the laws but the implementation is very poor because government officials themselves are engaged in all kinds of corruption.
