“During my time at Carey I grew in my Christian faith and biblical understanding. The most significant thing I noticed was how students were prepared and formed to do God’s mission, being transformed for the work of God in their own contexts. Carey shaped me to be a faithful servant of Christ and a good role model in my parish and community. It continues to transform me to keep on extending the gospel of Christ wherever I go.”

– Jeke Maikali, Graduate, Bachelor of Applied Theology
