Jesus Is Lord International University

[Olowookere Devost]

Themission of Malone University is to provide students with an education based on biblical faith in order to develop men and women in intellectual maturity, wisdom, and Christian faith who are committed to serving the Church, community, and world.

A Christian university for the arts, sciences, and professions, Malone grounds its educational mission in the biblical call to seek Christ's Kingdom First in all things. As we work out our calling, we put into action foundational principles that reflect our Christian faith, our Evangelical Friends heritage, and our desire to seek truth. These foundational principles help guide our work over time in the face of changing external exigencies and are the means by which we articulate what is and has been intrinsically important to the Institution.

The academic life of Malone University falls under a broader goal of seeking truth in all areas, including the humanities, arts, sciences, social sciences, personal health, theology, and the professions. We value and foster intellectual breadth and virtue, believing that individuals who seek Christ's Kingdom First are called to embark on a lifelong process of learning. The quest for knowledge and truth enables us to be better stewards of God's creation. As people who are being transformed by Christ, we witness to the truth in many ways, such as engaging in research, scholarly inquiry, and professional endeavor; working for justice; and strengthening community life.

We believe that faith and knowledge are inextricably bound to one another and should not be compartmentalized or fragmented. Professors and students at Malone examine what the Christian faith has to say about a given discipline and what that discipline has to say about the Christian faith. These actions stem from our belief that Christ is known not only through Scripture, the workings of the Holy Spirit, and tradition, but also through the pursuit of knowledge. We are called to make Christ known through scholarship in our individual disciplines, evangelism to our community, and service to others. These actions reflect our conviction that a Malone education should equip students to fulfill their callings. Therefore, we nurture intellectual curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, compassion, and spiritual growth.

Our educational mission is rooted in our understanding of the historic Christian faith. This broad Christian tradition provides us with a Christocentric perspective of intellectual inquiry and engagement with the world. Consistent with evangelicalism, the college has maintained its concern for biblical faith, proclamation of the gospel, and service to local and international communities. Shaped by our holiness and Friends heritage, Malone is an institution that values piety, concern for ordinary people, and experiential activism. From its founding, Malone University has welcomed staff members from different Christian denominations and traditions, enriching the resources of the university. The dialectics that emerge from these diverse perspectives compel us to an ongoing process of communication with one another and the community at large. This variety of Christian experience offers a basis for openness in the learning process, critical examination of worldviews, and cultivation of individual spiritual journeys.

The congenial and collegial atmosphere at Malone reflects a theological and intellectual commitment by the faculty, staff, and administration to educate and disciple our students in ways that challenge their intellect, encourage their faith and develop their character. We hold that learning flourishes in a community where people draw upon Scripture, tradition, reason, experience, and inquiry through thoughtful conversation and active relationships with others. The relationships that are formed between members of our campus community and students foster a dialogical process that reflects this belief that learning is not a solitary activity, designed for self-interested ends.

As a university community we are called to learn from one another, develop relationships, and work out our vocations in ways that demonstrate concern, accountability, respect, and humility. We extend these principles to the larger community and the world as we examine and endeavor to promote justice, civic responsibility, peace, and reconciliation. Through outreach, evangelism, and service we desire to witness to the love and grace of Christ. We emphasize corporate worship, prayer, study of Scripture, and other spiritual activities to prepare ourselves for learning and service, as well as to nurture and strengthen the spiritual life of the community. God's grace is evident in our communal life as we seek to live out this calling in a broken world.

Chad and Mandy were involved with Campus Outreach as students at Arkansas State University. They joined staff and were married in 2004. Together they served with the Indianapolis region for 16 years. From 2004-2010, they were reaching and discipling students at the University of Southern Indiana. Chad then served as the Director of Mobilization from 2010-2020 in which he helped prepare and send students into the world to make an impact for Jesus. In light of the vast need for laborers around the world and the strategic nature of the location, they are currently leading a staff team in London, UK. Chad and Mandy have four children: Evie, William, Annie, and Lottie.

While on staff in London, UK, Hannah had the opportunity to engage with students from over 30 different nations. By living in this melting pot of cultures, the Lord burdened Hannah with how desperately the UK and the world needs the Good News of Christ. International cities like London are becoming epicenters for global influence, making London a particularly strategic location to share the good news of Christ with university students, the global leaders of tomorrow. Hannah is excited and humbled to continue being a part of how God is reaching the nations through the ministry of Campus Outreach in London, UK! Through her new role, Hannah will be meeting students on campus, onboarding new female staff, and organizing ministry events and conferences across the CO UK network (Edinburgh, London, and Birmingham) to expand its reach and to increase the effectiveness of the student movement there.

I grew up in Asheville, North Carolina in a wonderful home with parents and older siblings who loved The Lord and taught by example what it looks like to have a relationship with Jesus. In high school, I became especially burdened for the lost souls surrounding me and The Lord humbled me and used me to be a witness to many friends in those years. I am passionate about advancing the Kingdom through building relationships and being a part of helping individuals find freedom in Christ. As I earnestly follow this calling on my life, I am excited to bring the gospel to college students with CO.

Anna Jacks grew up in a Christian home and knew about Jesus from a young age, but she did not have a personal relationship with Jesus until her freshman year of college. Throughout her college years, she was committed to a group where she learned how to share her faith with others, read and study the bible, and grow in knowledge and love for Christ alongside other women. Now, she is excited about what God is doing on college campuses around the world and is eager to be a part of it. She is praying that God would use her time in London to help people know and follow Christ.

Kayla grew up in a small town in Texas where she regularly went to church and learned about Jesus. From a young age, she knew that Jesus loved her and died for her sins, but she did not begin to have a personal relationship with Jesus until right before high school. Kayla eventually made her way to Sam Houston State University where she got plugged into Campus Outreach and spent the next few years learning more about how to walk with Jesus and how to share her faith with those around her. She is now very excited to be a part of reaching the college campus with the Gospel internationally!

We build laborers with a commitment to Jesus and His Great Commission through evangelism and discipleship. We passionately reach students with the gospel and train them to become mature followers of Christ. Our desire is to see students leave college equipped to labor in the harvest field for the glory of God.
