The Campus Harvest Academy of Student Evangelism consists of four unique schools seamlessly integrated into one academy: the School of Encounter, the School of Evangelism, the School of Equipping, and the School of Empowerment. Each school is designed in modular form so students can attend at least one of these schools each summer of their college careers. College graduates may take all schools consecutively.” (source: Campus Harvest Academy brochure)

He later founded and pastored a Sudanese Church in Edmonton. He also has been involved in the Arabic ministry and an Arabic radio program.
