The Burn from Within

My name is Moses Ngungu. I am a young Zambian currently pursuing my Masters of Divinity at Beulah Heights University in Atlanta, Georgia. Here is my family background in a few words: born in 1982, last in a family of 12, and the first person to achieve degree status in College. I was born a fighter and I will die a fighter; fighting for what is mine, what is right for fellow men, and what is best for the world we live in especially Africa.
My goal is to pursue post graduate studies and thereafter impact people both spiritually and socially. Educational Leadership and Ministry are my passion. When the time is right, I hope to make trips to Zambia and Africa and get involved in helping to train young leaders for a better tomorrow. The burn from within is my call from above.
 
I have been privileged to travel across the States working and visiting with friends. My experiences have developed me and broadened my worldview. The way I see the world now is not the way I did a few years back. My discussions with friends and other people do not only involve conversations about how we want to get rich. Our talk is all about how we can develop ourselves into dependable leaders in our families, including our current places of residence and the places where we came from.

Having been away from home for almost six years, the internet and word of mouth from my relatives back home have been my main source of news. Everyday when I turn on my computer at work, the second thing I do after logging in is to read Zambian news, African news, and then world news. To make sure that I don't get the wrong or biased information, I read from a wide range of sources. This is how I have kept Zambia on my mind even when I have been away from home for quite some time. I read news from home because I want to know what is going on as I care dearly for my motherland. The other reason is because I want to ensure that my statements on many issues that relate to Zambia and AfricaI have enough ground for me to stand on. Have you ever talked with someone who jumps to conclusions without even asking questions or at least getting some understanding first? That is the last thing I ever want to be. This goes to say that my comments here are not merely a product of guess work but a product of educated thinking through reading, listening, and personal experiences from Africa.
