VISION STATEMENT
Here at Asher University, we believe that every student is born with a purpose, regardless of their past grades or financial limitations. Rooted in the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” – our vision is to build a Christ-centered university where hope meets opportunity.
We are committed to creating an affordable, grace-filled path to a quality education – a place where a “C” doesn’t close doors, but opens them. Through academic support, spiritual formation, and real-world preparation, we empower students to rise, persist, and lead lives of impact, at Asher University, we educate not just minds, but hearts – believing that God’s plan includes you, right where you are.
THE MEANING OF “ASHER”
- When GOD went to Abram and told him, he was changing his name from Abram to Abraham, he to him “he had to be ASHER in his speech when he talks about his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”!
- In the Bible, the name Asher means “happy” or “blessing”. It comes from the Hebrew word osher, which means “happiness”, “joy”, “bliss”, and “wealth”.
- In the Bible, Asher was the eighth son of Jacob and the founder of the Tribe of Asher.
- Asher was one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel that was liberated out of Egypt, when Moses went to Pharaoh and told him “let my people go”.
- Asher’s mother was Leah’s servant, Zilpah. When Asher was born, Leah exclaimed, “Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy, so she called his name Asher”.
- The Tribe of Asher was known for its happiness, prosperity, and good food. The tribe’s prosperity came from agriculture and trade, especially the olive oil it produced.
