- 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
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
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.
Flory
Pacheco
I'm Flory Pacheco from Guatemala. I obtained two master's from Regent
University in 1993, one in education and another in public policy. Presently,
I work as the executive director of a foundation that carries out rural
development projects to benefit the Indian community in Guatemala. Pat,
from you I learned vision and leadership, to think big, to fight for
my dreams. Thanks for being obedient to God concerning Latin America.
Jaime
Farrach
My name is Jaime Farrach and I'm from Guatemala. In 1992, I received
a master's in communication from Regent, with an emphasis in media management.
Presently, I'm the vice president of COICOM, the Ibero-American confederation
of Christian communicators. I want to give thanks from the bottom of
my heart to Dr. Pat Robertson not only because he gave scholarships
to some international students, and the opportunity to study at Regent
University, but I want to thank him especially for being an inspiration
to my life.
Marcela
Matviuk
My name is Marcela Chavan de Matviuk and I'm from Argentina. Currently,
I'm the only Latin American woman who is studying in the doctoral communication
program at Regent University. I also work at CBN in the area of television
production for Latin America. In the future, I plan to return to my
country to serve in the areas of leadership training and education.
I want to thank Dr. Robertson, brother Pat Robertson, firstly for his
vision. Secondly, for his generosity. And thirdly, for his example.
Mauricio
Mayorga
I'm Mauricio Mayorga from Costa Rica. I graduated from Regent in 1993
with a master's in television journalism and presently I work with CBN
as the director for Latin America. The education at Regent was something
very important because it not only gave me professional tools but it
also shaped me spiritually, which is so necessary for a Christian in
the area of communications, in the world today. Pat, you have been an
inspiration for my life. Thanks for your example. Thanks for investing
in Latin America and thank you for investing in me personally. May the
Lord bless you.
