Alumni Spotlight: Marlo D. Brayboy

Marlo graduated with his Master of Arts in Ministry Studies in 2019.

"I was led to CIU because of God's guidance. I was praying one morning, asking God for direction in my life. I conducted a Google search of Bible schools in Columbia, and I found CIU. Later that same day, the pastor from the church I grew up in called my mom. He gave her a message that she passed on to me, saying, "tell Marlo to go to the school on Monticello." Mind you, he and my mother did not know I was searching for a college earlier that morning. I told my mom to call him back because I did not know school was on Monticello. I Google searched colleges on Monticello, and CIU came up. Seconds later, my phone rang, and my mom said CIU.

CIU has been a great experience. I gained a ton of insight from the professors. I had and currently have the opportunity to sit under professors who love Jesus with all of their hearts. I was able to establish friendships with them and have maintained contact. The chapels were an excellent opportunity to worship with fellow followers of Christ. Many dynamic speakers spoke in chapel and encouraged me to a higher calling. CIU has genuinely been a blessing to me, and I am grateful that God directed me to this remarkable University."
