Eli graduated with his MA in Theology and today lives with his wife Bethany and their four boys in Uganda working with South Sudanese refugees. Eli and his family have been working in South Sudan and Uganda since 2007, bringing Bible training through Theological Education by Extension (TEE). TEE partners with local pastors who help guide cultural conversation among students through discussion and implementation.

“TEE has brought transformation to our area as students start to realize that they can learn, grow, understand the word of God, and apply it to their life with the help of the Holy Spirit. One particular course that has been fun to go through is “Christian Family” and seeing people come to the full understanding of what God created when he created family. Faithfulness starts at home. I was modeled that through friends and faculty at CIU and my church at home. It’s so important for us to remember.”
