James Okoli

On the surface James likes to consider himself as quite ordinary, he is a student and lives a pretty normal life. However he also recognises that God is interested in doing extraordinary things in ordinary people and that is one of his biggest reasons for serving with OGGM. James is the facilitator for our courses and has a heart to ground and build people up in their love and devotion to the truth of the Gospel. Writing thought-provoking and challenging articles is just one way James seeks to do this and his hope is that people would read his articles and be edified, encouraged and empowered to live and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Trusting God in the Transition From Campus to Career

From Campus to Career: Trusting God in the Transition Graduation is both thrilling and unsettling. After years of timetables and lecture halls, life suddenly opens into a future without a syllabus. Questions rise quickly: What’s next? Will I find the right job? How do I live out my faith in this new season? The shift from campus to career is more than a change in routine—it’s an invitation to trust God in the unknown. The waiting, the unexpected roles, and even the detours are not wasted. Just as Joseph’s winding path prepared him for purpose, God uses every step to shape us for what lies ahead. Work, then, becomes more than earning a paycheck. It becomes worship. Every report written, meeting attended, or act of kindness offered is an opportunity to glorify Him. And in the midst of uncertainty, community and faith remind us that our worth is not tied to achievements but rooted in Christ. Because ultimately, your career is not just what you do—it’s who you do it for.
