Ubong Okorie

Ubong Okorie is from Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Before beginning his graduate degree, he worked full time as a tutor at the Nigerian Christian Bible College (NCBC) in Ukpom-Abak. Ubong initially began his studies at NCBC in 1996 before pursuing a medical degree at the University of Calabar, Nigeria. After graduating, he worked at a mission hospital and preached part time. Inspired to pursue advanced training in ministry to assist in training other ministers, Ubong returned to his theological studies.

​

Ubong graduated in December 2024, and his post-graduation plans include engaging in full-time missions and pursuing further theological studies.

 

Reflecting on his time at Harding, Ubong shared how his training has shaped his ministry: “My theological training at Harding has really been impactful,” he said. “So far, I have organized two seminars for preachers and church leaders in Nigeria at the Nigerian Christian Bible College in 2023 and 2024. I have also delivered many keynote lectures and subtopics at different forums on adaptive changes for church growth. I have helped in reviewing the ministerial training curriculum at the Nigerian Christian Bible College. By God's grace, I hope to continue to impact preacher training for the betterment of the church in Africa and beyond.”

Ubong expressed gratitude for the support he received through GCS and HST and looks forward to supporting GCS in the future, sharing their vision and mission.
