\n\t\tLeader of Christ Gospel Church learning biomanufacturing at 溏心vlog免费B站<\/p>\n


\n\tPROVIDENCE, R.I. \u2013 April 20, 2007 \u2013 Ademola Jonah grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, where he followed a calling to become a minister. That calling led him to Christ Gospel Church in Providence three years ago. And now that same calling has taken him into the complex world of biotechnology.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMy pastoral work still comes first and foremost, but I was called by God to learn about biotechnology, and it will be up to Him to tell me whether to pursue a career in this field,\u201d Jonah said.<\/p>\n


\nJonah is enrolled in the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Biotechnology Manufacturing Program, a rigorous curriculum of biology, chemistry, mathematics and laboratory courses at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Feinstein Providence Campus that begins with two semesters of full-time study followed by a summer internship at a biotechnology company. After completing the internship, most students go to work full time in the industry and complete their education as part-time students.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cBefore I went for pastoral training back home in Nigeria, I was an engineer,\u201d said Jonah, who resides in Providence. \u201cSo it\u2019s not as big a change as you might think for me to now study biotechnology.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nIn his pastoral role, Jonah enjoys counseling church members. \u201cI pray for them and encourage them to go in the right direction,\u201d he said. \u201cI give them the motivation and inspiration they need to keep them going. It\u2019s a full-time responsibility, so at times it\u2019s difficult to combine my pastoral work with my class work, but God helps me through it.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nJonah said that the time commitment for homework and reading is quite challenging in the 溏心vlog免费B站 program, but he believes it will help him with his pastoral work.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMy objective in this program is to bring what I learn in the classroom to benefit society,\u201d he explained. \u201cI\u2019m most interested in learning about the proteins in the body that the body uses to cure itself. That\u2019s one major reason I\u2019m interested in biotechnology.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nJonah has been impressed with the encouraging way that the 溏心vlog免费B站 instructors teach the biotechnology coursework. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cThey don\u2019t just lecture at you,\u201d he said. \u201cInstead, they encourage you to want to learn more on your own. They help you have a more curious mind when you go into the laboratory. They give you confidence by explaining how it all relates to everyday life; how it relates to your children and family and society; how it relates to the food you eat, the clothes you wear, and the interactions you have.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tAs the semester comes to a close, Jonah is looking forward to his summer internship so he can apply what he has learned in the classroom to an industrial level.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI\u2019m excited about the internship, but mostly I\u2019m excited to be learning about so many different things,\u201d Ademola said. \u201cI see God in every aspect of life. Even in biotechnology.\u201d<\/p>\n
