SEKUCo
From idea to a year completed!
In three short years, SEKUCo has progressed from an idea to a completed year of classes for 137 students.
Rev. Dr. Anneth Munga has been an incredible driving force throughout, while SEPA provided other support. The College concept was first discussed with a SEPA delegation to the North Eastern Diocese in Tanzania in August, 2005.
By September, 2008 over 200 additional students will enroll at SEKUCo, including some in the field of law. Campus B readiness is now our key focus. October 5, 2008 will be our second SEKUCo Sunday within our Synod. Let us be generous!
When I reflect on these past three years it’s evident that God has a plan for SEKUCo and for SEPA’s support. Let us rejoice and continue the fulfillment of this plan.
God Bless You!

SEKUCo Sunday is Oct. 5 -- make it special!
The Sebastian Kolowa University College, or SEKUCo, the College of our Companion Synod, the North-Eastern Diocese in Tanzania, opened in October 2007, with an enrollment of 138 students on Campus A. Special Needs Education is the initial course of studies.
Plans are now underway to develop Campus B, and expand the curricula to include Business, Law and Eco-Tourism. With the new facilities, a total of 500 students can be accommodated.
Our Synod has approved a Synod-wide “SEKUCo Sunday” on October 5th, 2008 so that we may learn more about this College and help support the expansion effort.
