NationsU Students Are Not Ashamed of the Gospel

NationsUniversity celebrates 26 years of education excellence at its annual spring dinner celebration on May 22, 2021. As a part of this celebration we give our students the platform to talk about why their world was changed through our partner supported higher education. They are not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of salvation.

Transform Your Ministry with NU

Our Mission and Vision: NationsUniversity’s mission is to build authentic faith and train Christian leaders around the world through affordable, accessible higher education, utilizing distance learning.

Our Approach: The education we provide helps you train ministry leaders in your congregation. Develop them in-house without uprooting them from ministry, family, and service. Mentor and guide them as they grow, serve, and lead.

NationsUniversity takes every savings opportunity to keep our tuition costs as low as possible. We believe all should have the opportunity to follow their calling, and this is one way we make that possible. Full or part-time church leaders, ministers and missionaries serving in the U.S. or other developed countries who are sponsored by a congregation receive a substantial discount* on the already low tuition. Instead of $1,800 per year, sponsored students can study for only $1,200 per year:

1. Students must apply normally at elearning.nationsu.edu, pay the $25 registration fee and begin studying their first course.

2. Near the end of the first 90 days (“First Quarter Free”), a senior minister or elder must request on church letterhead the “church leader tuition rate” and list the name(s) of the students the church agrees to underwrite in this program.

3. Payment of $1,200 from the church is required in advance of each year’s study per student.

* D.Min. students are not eligible for the tuition or textbook discount.

From Atheist Dictatorship to Faith: Bledi Valca’s Journey

Bledi Valca’s story is one of transformation, faith, and perseverance. Growing up in Albania under a strict communist-atheist dictatorship, Bledi never imagined he would one day become a follower of Jesus Christ. His journey began when he discovered the gospel through the World English Institute, leading him to pursue deeper biblical studies. Bledi earned a Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.) from NationsUniversity and went on to complete a Doctor of Ministry at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Now, as a volunteer faculty member at NationsUniversity, he is dedicated to equipping and inspiring others to grow in their faith. Join us as we explore Bledi’s incredible journey from oppression to hope, from atheism to faith, and from student to teacher. His testimony is a powerful reminder that God’s grace knows no boundaries.
