ICETE Partner United World Mission is now Mesa Global
Mesa is the simple Spanish word for table. Consider everything that happens around the table. It is the place where families come together for sharing life and laughter, as well as hard times and tears. The table is also a place for mentoring and studying, planning and prayer. Mesa is a symbol of how important relationships are in our ministry.
The name Mesa Global also reminds us of our place around the table of the global church – where every member of the body of Christ is welcomed and every voice is heard. As equippers, we are servants at that table, forming and uplifting leaders as we humbly propose our gifts alongside those of others. In everything we perform, this posture of servanthood, and this eagerness to learn from and support our global partners is central to our work.

MESA Global Event
Our Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Kiplangat, together with the Provost, Rev. Dr. Paul Ekal Lokol, attended the East and Southern Africa Institute for Excellence event held from 22nd to 25th April 2025 at Corat Africa, Nairobi, Kenya. The event was organized by Mesa Global and centered on the theme: “High-Impact Collaborations and Partnerships for Effective Theology Education in Africa.”
This timely event comes as we prepare to receive students and officially launch Kenya Highlands Seminary on 5th May 2025.
Mesa Global was founded in 1940 by Ohio pastor Dr. Sydney Correll and his wife, Helen. They began by establishing a Bible school in Cuba to equip church planters and pastors, with a vision to send Cuban missionaries across Latin America. Over the years, the organization has expanded significantly, and in 2024, United World Ministry and Overseas Council adopted the unified name Mesa Global to further their shared mission of equipping leaders globally.
The sessions proved impactful, addressing critical topics such as governance, strategic partnerships and collaborations with international organizations, leveraging technology to support collaborative
