A Missionary University

By believing that Jesus’ command to be salt and light in the world means Christian service and witness in all areas of life, the University of the Nations strives to equip its students to see their professions in the light of the Gospel. For this, the University teaches them to biblically think, to discern spiritually and to act with humility.

They are strengthened with knowledge, directed to wisdom, and inspired to be obedient to the call of God in their lives, and their goals are attained from the knowledge of God and from a constant search for revelation and direction.

Intercession, worship, and praise are integral parts of each course and living according to the precepts of God must be something visible in the relationship between students and workers – in forgiveness, transparency, repentance, recognition of the gifts and talents of others, union, work in team, hospitality, leadership to serve, and love one another as Jesus commanded us.

What is the purpose of UofN? Is it the financial gain? No, it’s not! It is touching the lives of people who need the touch of God; not to improve our lives, but to serve others for their own lives to improve. Thus, the University of the Nations is a new university – a multiplier of Missions – in which students are not squeezed into the mold of the Market, but shaped according to God’s destiny for them as persons, in such a way that they succeed in reaching the whole Society in their areas of influence.

Principles of the University of the Nations

The University of the Nations (UofN) makes its commitment to the Great Commission left by Jesus Christ, grounded in biblical principles, equipping people spiritually, culturally, intellectually and professionally, inspiring them to use their God-given abilities to communicate and demonstrate the Good News of the Gospel to all nations. In these terms, here are some founding principles of the UofN:

  • See the world as your own classroom.
  • Extend the scope of Evangelism by equipping students to serve the world in the various areas of influence of the Society.
  • To base the educational approach according to what is read in II Pet. 1: 5-8, which emphasizes balanced development in every area of life, so by the grace of the Lord and involved by the love of Christ, students grow in their faith and worship of God. They are strengthened with knowledge, guided to wisdom, and inspired to be obedient to the call of God in their lives.
  • The Commitment to the high standard of educational quality comes to provide transcultural training related to its academic content; it intends to be applicable in practical life situations. Each area studied includes practical periods and transcultural experiences for each student.
  • Courses should be “multipliers for missions”, serving to increase the offer of training places, the number of workers and also the educational resources available for the mission fields. In addition, each course – precisely because they are international in scope – must provide transcultural training related to their academic content, as well as, have the purpose of being applicable in practical life situations. Each area studied includes practical periods and transcultural experiences for each student.
  • Be committed to the same mission statement of YWAM, its parent organization and of which it is an integral part.
  • The structure of UofN includes 07 main areas of education – distributed in 07 faculties – and several multidisciplinary centers and institutes, which, in turn, aim to communicate the Gospel to the world from and to different areas of the Society, beginning the entire educational process .

Una Universidad Misionera

Al creer que el mandato de Jesús de ser sal y luz en el mundo significa servicio cristiano y testimonio en todas las áreas de la vida, la Universidad de las Naciones se esfuerza por equipar a sus estudiantes para ver sus profesiones a la luz del Evangelio. Con este fin, la Universidad les enseña a pensar bíblicamente, a discernir espiritualmente y a actuar con humildad.

Son fortalecidos con el conocimiento, dirigidos hacia la sabiduría e inspirados para ser obedientes al llamado de Dios en sus vidas, y sus metas se alcanzan a partir del conocimiento de Dios y una búsqueda constante de revelación y dirección.

La intercesión, la adoración y la alabanza son partes integrales de cada curso, y vivir de acuerdo con los preceptos de Dios debe ser visible en la relación entre estudiantes y trabajadores: perdón, transparencia, arrepentimiento, reconocimiento de los dones y talentos de cada uno, unidad, trabajo en equipo, hospitalidad, liderazgo para servir y amor el uno por el otro como Jesús nos lo ordenó.

Dado esto, ¿cuál es el propósito de UofN? ¿Es la ganancia financiera? No! Es en sí, tocar las vidas de las personas que necesitan el toque de Dios; no para mejorar nuestras vidas, sino para servir a otros para mejorar sus propias vidas. Por lo tanto, la Universidad de las Naciones es una nueva universidad, un multiplicador de la misión, en la que los estudiantes no están atrapados en el molde del mercado, sino que se configuran de acuerdo con el destino de Dios para ellos como personas, para que puedan llegar a toda la sociedad en sus áreas de influencia.

Princípios de la Universidad de las Naciones

La Universidad de las Naciones (UdeN) cumple su compromiso con la Gran Comisión dejada por Jesucristo, basada en principios bíblicos, equipando a las personas espiritual, cultural, intelectual y profesionalmente, inspirándolos a usar sus habilidades dadas por Dios para comunicarse y demostrar La Buena Nueva del Evangelio a todas las naciones. En estos términos, aquí hay algunos principios fundamentales de UdeN:

  • Ver al mundo como su propio salón de clases.
  • Ampliar el alcance del evangelio, equipando a los estudiantes para servir en todo el mundo en las diversas áreas de influencia de la Sociedad.
  • Basar el enfoque educativo de acuerdo con lo que leemos en II Pedro 1: 5-8, que enfatiza el desarrollo equilibrado en cada área de la vida, para que, por la gracia del Señor y rodeado por el amor de Cristo, los estudiantes crezcan en su fe y en la adoración a Dios. Ellos son fortalecidos con conocimiento, direccionados hacia la sabiduría e inspirados para ser obedientes al llamado de Dios en sus vidas.
  • El compromiso con el alto nivel de calidad educativa proporciona capacitación intercultural relacionada con su contenido académico, así como la intención de ser aplicable en situaciones de la vida práctica. Cada área estudiada incluye períodos prácticos y experiencias interculturales para cada estudiante.
  • Los cursos deben ser “multiplicadores para la misión”, que sirven para ampliar la oferta de lugares de capacitación, el número de trabajadores y los recursos educativos disponibles para los campos de la misión. Además, cada curso, precisamente porque son de alcance internacional, debe proporcionar capacitación intercultural relacionada con su contenido académico, así como para ser aplicable en situaciones prácticas de la vida. Cada área estudiada incluye períodos prácticos y experiencias interculturales para cada estudiante.
  • Comprometerse con la misma declaración de propósito que JUCUM, su organización matriz y de la cual forma parte integral.
  • La estructura de la UdeN incluye siete áreas principales de educación distribuidas en siete facultades y varios centros e institutos multidisciplinarios que a su vez tienen como objetivo comunicar el Evangelio al mundo desde y hacia diferentes áreas de la Sociedad, comenzando todo el proceso educativo.
