Kajo-Keji Christian College calls for ethical leadership in South Sudan
Kajo-Keji Christian College (KCC) has called for greater investment in ethical leadership, Christian education and spiritual formation in South Sudan, saying the country needs leaders who can serve communities with integrity and accountability.
In a message published in the college’s January–June 2026 newsletter, KCC Principal Rev. Dr. Michael Kiju Paul said the institution remained committed to preparing pastors, teachers and community leaders despite the challenges facing the country.
“As we prepare to begin a new semester, we do so with optimism and hope, even as we remain mindful of the many challenges facing our world, our nation and our communities,” Paul said.
He said South Sudan continued to face a strong need for quality Christian education, ethical leadership and spiritual development, adding that the college was working to equip future leaders to contribute positively to society.
Paul credited churches, organizations and individual partners for supporting the college’s mission through prayers, financial assistance and academic partnerships.
According to the principal, the support has enabled staff development, including further studies for lecturers. Two members of staff recently completed bachelor’s degrees at Jinja Seminary in Uganda, while another earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Makerere University, he said.
The college is also expanding scholarship opportunities for students. Paul said around 10 business students admitted in 2026 would receive bursaries from a family in the United Kingdom, while theology and education students continue to benefit from scholarships provided by other partners.
He said the college expected to graduate a number of students in October 2026, describing their achievements as evidence of the impact of Christian higher education.
Paul also announced plans to expand the institution’s infrastructure, including the construction of a new lecture block aimed at increasing teaching capacity and improving the learning environment.
“Every scholarship awarded, every faculty member equipped, every student graduated, and every facility improved stands as a testimony to God’s faithfulness working through partnership,” he said.
The principal said KCC’s mission remained particularly important at a time when South Sudan required ethical leaders, committed educators and servant-hearted Christian ministers.
He urged supporters to continue contributing through prayer, advocacy, friendship and financial assistance, saying such support was helping to shape future generations of leaders who would serve churches, schools and communities across the country.
Kajo-Keji Christian College offers programmes in theology, education and business administration and recently received accreditation from South Sudan’s National Council for Higher Education, according to the newsletter.
