90% of Scott Theological College Students Sent Home Due to Finances.

This past year has been one of the hardest anyone in Kenya can remember. Beginning with the post-election violence and turning to a severe drought: the vast majority of Kenyans are struggling with dire poverty.

This past week, over 200 students from six different African countries reported to Scott Theological College, Machakos, Kenya and only 10% of them were able to clear their fees. This resulted in 90% of the students being sent home. Please pray for this urgent need. Not only is the current drought affecting people throughout the country, but it is further handicapping the ability of Scott Theological College to properly train Pastors to shepherd God’s people and share the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the continent.

One of the strengths of Scott Theological College is that it over 70% of all operating expenses come from within Africa; underscoring the local ownership for the Institution. However, this also means that STC remains especially vulnerable to drought, famine, or other societal problems affecting the local context.
