Latin American Graduates Thank Pat Robertson


Author's Title



PatRobertson.com - Christian leadership to change the world-this is the vision of Regent University. Dr. Pat Robertson founded the university over 20 years ago with the purpose of training men and women to represent Christ in their professions. The university offers graduate-level programs-masters and doctoral programs-in business, communication, divinity, education, government, law, psychology and counseling. Since 1985, over 60 Latin Americans have received degrees from the university. A majority of those students were selected as emerging leaders in their countries, and given scholarships. Today, many of the graduates, in influential positions, are transforming their societies.

Jose GonzalezJose Gonzalez
I am Jose Gonzalez and I'm an Uruguayan. I had the privilege to be the first Latin American to graduate from Regent University in 1985. The year after my graduation from the school of government, in which I am now an adjunct professor, I established a ministry called Semilla. It's dedicated to recruiting exceptional Latin American leaders to come to the university. My education at Regent University transformed my understanding and prepared me to look into the Word of God for the principles on which nations, families, churches and individuals are founded. Doctor Robertson, I'm deeply thankful for the impact that you have had in my life, which allows me to serve so many other Latin American leaders. Thank you very much.

Omar MorilloOmar Morillo
I'm Omar Morillo from Caracas, Venezuela. I obtained a master's degree in education in 1988 from Regent University. In 1989, I received a second master's in communication, with an emphasis in TV production. Presently, I work in production at the Christian Broadcasting Network. I'm the senior producer for Latin America and I also host our main program for Latin America, Vida Dura. The education that I received from Regent University was a complete, integral education because it was taught from a biblical perspective. I was the first Latin American who received a complete scholarship from the university, and now, I can say that I owe my profession, my career, first to God, and then to Dr. Robertson and the university. Many thanks.
