First of Its Kind Global Searcherdemic Life Award

Three inspiring Life leaders were honored on Saturday, January 27th for their unique contributions to their communities and the world. The Searcherdemic Life Award was the global prize for the recipients who are “role models of a new education paradigm,” says HRH Clyde Rivers, the Founder and President of iChange Nations (ICN), the world’s largest Culture of Honor organization. The ceremony was headed by HRH Dr. Clyde Rivers and Prof. Michal P. Pitzl, the Chancellor of United Graduate College and Seminary International (UGCSI).


Saturday’s event was the fruition of the first of its kind collaboration between ICN and UGCSI, two global networks promoting honor and innovation. The aim of the event was to bring honor to and highlight individuals whose lives exemplify Searcherdemic education. Searcherdemics is the new education paradigm created by Prof. Michal P. Pitzl, and it validates God ideas and the experiential knowledge that comes from Life education. “Education does not start in a classroom and end when you graduate” says Prof. Pitzl, “education begins the day you were conceived until the day you die. People receive an education every day in life.”


Mr. Emory Nihipali of Las Vegas USA, was one of the first recipients in the world to receive this prestigious award. Mr. Nihipali has served the Hawaiian community through radio media for 25 years, promoting peace and civility. “Everyone has a journey, and that journey only belongs to one person, you,” said Mr. Nihipali during the ceremony. He also shared that for 25 years he has been doing his work and helping and educating people about “aloha,” promoting the love of the world.


Dr. Lynca Pacis Mugisha of Bujumbura Burundi also received this first of its kind Life Award. “Dr. Lynca is one of the best Territorial Coaches in the world,” stated HRH Clyde Rivers. She is currently connecting local village businesses with top institutions on the continent of Africa.


Apostle Dr. Carolyne Wangeci of Nairobi Kenya also received the Searcherdemic Life Award on Saturday. Apostle Wangeci is a woman apostle who has created a network called Awakening International Network, which is currently in four countries. “Part of creating a new culture is to use new language,” said Prof. Pitzl. And Apostle Carolyne has done so with her Awakening Network. She says that Africa today needs “impact and they want to see results. People need physical, spiritual and tangible results.”


The Searcherdemic Life Awards ceremony highlighted three individuals who had an idea to impact their world, but they also moved their ideas forward with action. This movement is what HRH Clyde Rivers and Prof. Michal Pitzl call “experiential knowledge” and what they aim to promote on the Searcherdemic Life Award platform.


Searcherdemic Life Awards will be coming from other global platforms in the near future, in the Spirit of promoting others and their unique ideas. Stay tuned!


ICN is a Culture of Honor and consulting organization that is committed to bringing back the Lost Art of Honor by building a culture of Honor that recognizes individuals throughout the world who have exemplified extraordinary humanitarian efforts to effectively change nations. ICN is the largest Culture of Honor network in the world.


Searcherdemics is a new paradigm of education that validates the idea from God and relates to Life Education that produces practical and relevant outcomes, also known as evidence and results.

Innovative Education Model Continues to Produce Evidence and Results

This year the Human Equity Value Institute (HEVIS), located in Trinidad and Tobago and an affiliate of United Graduate College and Seminary International, began its courses with another round of student participants. The students engaged in six months of studying the knowledge base tool of Human Equity Value (HEV) and graduated in May 2022.



Professor Glendon Rudder, founder and creator of the Human Equity Value philosophy and Institute stated, “Every class and every session was new and presented a uniqueness that was unlike the other. The students were highly involved and interactive in a major way as they literally added value to the course itself and to the content of the HEV Searcherdemic education model.”


Students learned the foundations of HEV, that Human Equity Value is the Recognition, Consideration, Protection and Procurement of Human Value and about each person’s Equity Entitlement. It is interesting to note that this was being done against the backdrop of certain issues taking place in the country's government in terms of their relations to society. As such, students of HEVIS were given an assignment to write a paper on a societal or national issue and their own solution. Students were then tasked with implementing the principle of Human Equity Value to the issue and to report on the results that it would bring. Papers were done on the economy, politics, government elections, child abuse and other topics affecting the society at large. Students surpassed expectations.


In one assignment, a student chose to write on the elections of the sister Island of the nation, which have been lobbying for more autonomy and even cessation as they felt that the central government in Trinidad was not doing enough. She applied HEV saying, "If Human Equity Value (HEV) was part of the Central Government's policies it will eliminate all the issues presented by the sister Isle." With the implementation of a HEV policy they will be afforded training needed to become profitable to ensure sustainability within the island. 


Another HEVIS student stated, "Just over three years ago, the Company for which I worked, went through a major upheaval, in that persons were retrenched. The tenets of Human Equity Value (HEV) Recognition, Consideration, Protection and Procurement were totally ignored in the way management went about their actions. There was no recognition of persons' feelings and rights. Imagine persons were issued with retrenchment letters mere hours before the close of business; advising them not to report for work the next day...A friend of mine who was a supervisor and gave the company over thirty years of service, said he stood in the middle of the office and cried, when unknowingly, he came to work the next day and was locked out of the system. This is when he knew he was let go. Their actions completely destroyed any place value employees may have felt."


Student quote: Human Equity Value is also a symbiotic relationship between employee and employer. 


Student quote: How one values that of another creates Human Equity Value (HEV). In addition to this, HEV puts the human value in focus, giving the other the equity deserved. 


Student quote: In short, the implementation of Human Equity Value (HEV) as a public policy would go a long way in improving the industrial climate in the country.




Professor Glendon Rudder (2nd from the left) is a Searcherdemic Professor at United Graduate College and Seminary, an on-line faith-based college and seminary that practices Searcherdemic education. Searcherdemics discovers, develops, promotes and validates unique philosophies and practical applications of inspired ideas from God.

2020 Africa Civility Educator of the Year Goes to UGCSI Vice Chancellor


On the 9th of April 2020, IChange Nations, a global organization that builds statesmen and trains diplomats, honored World Civility Icon Winners from around the world. I had the privilege to be honored as the 2020 Africa Civility Educator of the Year.

 

Though I did not see it coming, I received the award with gladness of heart. I was also challenged and catapulted to continue pursuing my life assignment of building people and changing destinies around the world.

 

Thus, as the 2020 Africa Civility Educator, I am creating a global initiative called the World Changers Initiative in order to promote Civility, Honor and Peace in Africa and the world. I am also pioneering the first ever Africa Civility Show webcast on the Africa Civility TV. This is a platform for gathering hundreds of thoughtful and iconoclastic Global Leaders, Influencers, Humanitarians and Doers from around the world who share a common interest in practical solutions for sustainable development of Africa through Civility, Changeology, EduSophia and Geniusology. Through this platform, I expect to help reshape the way the world thinks about and looks at Africa and rebuild her confidence in herself until she becomes the Oasis of the world. 

 

This award has ignited in me an avid passion to continue work with different governments, educational institutions, religious and non-religious organizations, cultures, demographics, and individuals to construct an educational system that serves local needs by first and foremost helping individuals awaken to the genius in them. I strongly assert that every human being is born a genius. This awakening is blessing humanity and making the world a better place to live in, for humanity will awaken to the realization that every human being is a solution to, at least, one problem.

Authorship Education: Architecting the Future of Lifelong Education

Chief Chancellor and Chancellor of United Graduate College and Seminary International, Sir Clyde Rivers and Prof. Michal P. Pitzl introduce a skill based philosophy of education in their book Authorship Education. The e-book is now available on amazon.com.

Authorship Education is a skill based philosophy, which grew from seeing a collective need around the world. In their international workings, Sir Clyde Rivers and Prof. Michal P. Pitzl have experienced firsthand a need for change in societies of the world. Education is one of the most powerful influences on the earth. Education “architects the future.” Authorship Education says that every life is valuable and every human being is created with a skill and a philosophy. It reaches outside traditional norms and runs on the understanding that each person’s skill and philosophy has the potential to solve a problem in this world.

Prof. Rivers and Prof. Pitzl have discovered influential people who have made their world a better place by nontraditional means. They have spotlighted such people in Authorship Education as worthy of receiving Honorary Doctorate degrees for their skills and being “Searchers” of a new philosophy. These qualities make Authorship Education a system that will carry on from generation to generation, architecting a better future.

Chris and Carol Green Named Professors, Vice Chancellors of Administrative Leadership and Professional Development






Date: June 2020 (UGCSI) ----Professor Clyde Rivers and Professor Michal Pitzl have announced the appointment of Chris and Carol Green as the new Professors and Vice Chancellors of Administrative Leadership at United Graduate College and Seminary International (UGCSI). This couple will be positioned to lead the Professional Development of the school's global team of educators and instructors.

UGCSI is a private, fully accredited Christian College and Seminary that encourages students to consider an e-learning education model for their ministry training. With excellent biblical programs, as well as accelerated ministry degree programs anchored by a unique staff of educators from all over the world, UGCSI offers a truly practical, well-rounded international ministry education experience.

As affiliate members and International Statesmen with iChange Nations™, Chris and Carol Green have partnered with UGCSI since 2017 to offer an accelerated, ministry-accredited life coaching certification program. Their collaborative purpose and mission has been, to offer leaders, working in under-served communities, high-quality tools that empower and equip them to be more effective in their humanitarian efforts.

After successfully establishing this International Leadership Life Coaching Program in the United States, the Greens were extended this prestigious invitation from the UGCSI Chief Chancellor and Chancellor, who had been following their progress and success.

"The Greens have been with us for a while," says Chief Chancellor Clyde Rivers. "They have worked in obscurity and just been faithful in helping us build a culture of excellence and honor."

Chris and Carol Green received formal Christian Leadership Training (a 5-year school of ministry) from Dr. Raphael Green (D.Ed.Min) who founded the Metro Christian Discipleship Academy in Saint Louis, Missouri; earning licenses and ordinations as ministers in May of 1991. To further enhance his education, Chris completed two business certification programs at the University of Missouri-St. Louis’ School of Professional and Continuing Studies. They both completed a lay-counseling certificate program from the American Association of Christian Counselors.

They continued to expand and grow in their professional development through their enrollment in United Graduate College and Seminary International (UGCSI), where they earned Bachelors and Masters degrees in Christian Leadership, as well as certification as master life coaches through its College of Divinity: Educational Department.

After completing the Master Life Coaching program, they took their certifications and began volunteering their coaching skills in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's under-served communities, and it wasn't long before local organizations began to recognize and acknowledge the high-quality work that was being invested.

In 2018, Chris and Carol Green introduced their ground-breaking CARE-Readiness Training and Certification for Providers, Mentors and Coaches. Over the course of two years, they were able to certify nearly 80 Life Coaches, which meant the positive impact of their high-quality, life-transforming program was being duplicated and distributed.

"The timing is perfect for bringing the Greens into UGCSI as Vice Chancellors and Professors," explains Chancellor Michal Pitzl. "Due to the covid-19 outbreak, we're in reset mode just like the rest of the world, but when we return, we have a special opportunity to equip and empower the leaders that both work in our school, as well as the leaders from all over Central Africa and the world, who come to us for ministry training. We're looking to PROFESSORS Chris and Carol Green to help us build a Global Leadership Professional Development Program."

As the world's leading producers of CARE-Ready Life Coaches™, Chris and Carol Green have been teaching and training community, government and education leaders, human service organizers, business visionaries, and neighborhood dreamers how to be much more effective by embracing the principles of CARE (Compassionate Accountability with Respect and Empathy) in their professional and personal lives. They LISTEN to people, LIFT people and LAUNCH people. Then they equip and empower them to do the same for others.

Many coaching, mentoring and community outreach programs employ what is known as a "deficit model" of working with people. That's where you focus on the problems (deficits) of a person, and then apply a set of pre-determined, cookie cutter steps and treatments to address their issues. The deficit-based model is what many well-meaning Helpers use, but it rarely works long-term, leaving Helpers wondering why their clients fail to break the cycles of addiction and recidivism.

However, their CARE-Ready Life Coach Training™ mirrors the principles found in the proven, Best Practice strategies of Strength-based, Solution-focused models. CARE-Ready life coaches are trained to connect with people in order to build a relationship/ partnership that empowers the client; thus allowing the client to discover the solutions that will work best for them.

While many coaching programs focus on how to target potential high-paying affluent clients, and high-paying speaking opportunities, the Greens train, equip and empower Care-Ready Providers and Coaches™, who are willing to take on the most often overlooked people of society; those who live in under-served communities, who can least afford, but benefit the most from professional guidance.

"We're very excited that the Greens accepted our invitation and this appointment," Pitzl concluded. "They will bring another level of expertise and experience to our overall global mission."

Chris and Carol Green are also recipients of honorary doctorates in Christian Leadership (Chris) and Humanities (Carol); as well as honorary doctorates in Society and Human Rights (both). They are currently candidates in the UGCSI Christian Leadership doctoral program.

SOUTH SUDANESE STUDENT EARNS A MASTERS DEGREE IN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP

KLERO ONUHA INGAYO
Rev. Klero Ingayo has completed his Masters Degree in Christian Leadership. He has been such an inspiration to many around him and has skillfully attracted other students to UGCSI in South Sudan. Klero Ingayo is a pastor that has great influence in his country and works along side others that represent UGCSI in South Sudan. Together they are working to help their country come to peace and realize their need for true Godly Leadership to help guide this new republic. We are very happy to have this great man as part of our UGCSI family.

_____________________

Rev. Ingayo wrote these words to us:

I am Rev. Klero Onuha Ingayo, a South Sudanese by nationality, born on January 27th, 1967 in Lohutok, South Sudan, and was raised up in a non-Christian family. I became involved in Church activities in 1974 such as Sunday school, youth programs and now I’m a pastor. Thus, I strongly believed and felt that God has a purpose for me to do some definite ministry, specifically among my tribesmen who have not heard the message of Salvation and even beyond to the unreached people of South Sudan. That is why God directed me to UGCSI to be equipped for this great service. I have decided willingly to service in order to win to bring leadership improvement to the church.

Now I’m the program manager for the Bible Society South of South Sudan, writing project proposals and running the trauma healing program. It is not an easy responsibility as our country is going through political and economic crisis and conflicts is all around the country. What I have in my mind is what I have learned from UGCSI. I did learn leadership and it has helped me as I’m managing this Church institution.  I use what I learned from UGCSI and pray that God will use me to be an example in this institution. My appreciation to the Board of UGCSI, Chief Chancellor Clyde Rivers, Chancellor Michal Pitzl, and my Professor Donella Pitzl.

God blessings to you all,
Klero Onuha Ingayo

A VOTE OF THANKS TO UGCSI

DRASI BUA CAESAR
Drasi Bua Caesar is a graduating PhD student from the Republic of South Sudan. He has been an exceptional student in the midst of much hardship in his country and challenges to complete his education. We are very honored to have this great man as a student and soon to be alumni with United Graduate College and Seminary International.

______________________ 

Drasi Bua Caesar writes:

I am so grateful and proud to be a student of United Graduate College and Seminary International for the last two years. In the first place, I thank the Board of Admission for accepting me to study in UGCSI.     

I have enrolled in United Graduate College and Seminary International to study a doctoral degree in Christian Leadership.  With great delight, I would like to testify that, I have enjoyed my studies at UGCSI for two main reasons:

1)    UGCSI courses are carefully selected to suit the contemporary challenges Christian leaders face in the ministry. The courses are designed to provide strategies appropriate to Christian leadership and its real life issues. The courses engage leaders in finding practical solutions to counteract their given situations.  
  
2)  UGCSI has well qualified and experienced instructors. In particular, I am so grateful to Professor Donella Pitzl.  She took me through my course work and dissertation, her intrinsic motivation born out of deep seated passion for educating a man like me, has became a source of inspiration to me.  That is, her thorough and smart academic work in mentoring and her exhibition of high degree of mastery of the subject posed a great impression on me. An impact I will ever live to emulate. She is such a wonderful mentor, with the spirit of patience, focus and promptness with evaluation of assignments I have sent to her.

For sure, all those who went through UGCSI and through whom UGCSI went would agree with me on this fact. Henceforth, join me friends to blow the trumpet of UGCSI’s goodness wherever you are  serving the Almighty God.
