Why I Teach at Regent
Dr. Emmanuel Ayee's philosophy of Christian higher education is rooted in an understanding of the Kingdom of God. This kingdom is both a present reality and a future hope. Whilst we wait for the consummation of the age, our call is to erect signposts of God's liberating kingdom by the way we live and the way we carry out various cultural activities including Christian higher education. His goal is to educate men and women who obediently respond to God's call for their lives.
