KIJABE, Kenya—The location has changed, but not the mission for Wayland Baptist University's work in Kenya, Wayland Provost Bobby Hall announced during graduation at Moffatt Bible College in Kijabe, Kenya.

Hall, executive vice president at Wayland, and Paul Sadler, dean of the School of Religion and Philosophy at Wayland, journeyed to Kenya to inaugurate the university's partnership with Moffatt Bible College.
In addressing the students, faculty and administration of the college—affiliated with the African Inland Church—Hall pointed out the two schools hold many things in common, most notably a commitment to Christian education and the training of spiritual leaders.
Moffat Principal Paul Kamunge referred to the partnership as a "new, new day," and the college's chairman of the board, John G. Kingori, said Wayland's decision to join in the partnership was the answer to a dream.
Hall explained the move marks a new step in Wayland's work in Kenya, which began 13 years ago when the Baptist Convention of Kenya asked the university to bring its academic program to the country. Wayland spent that time partnered with Kenya Baptist Theological College near Limuru.
Hall was quick to point out that while Wayland is changing locations, it is not changing its mission, goals or programs in Kenya.
