Called to Serve
Immanuel was initiated by a couple living in Washington who felt a calling in 2011 to give toward developing a school of graduate and post-graduate studies in India. Shelly and David Goodnight were then led to make this couple’s dream a reality. The Goodnights joined the efforts of Professor Joab, who had dreamed of such a school for the impoverished youth of India. By fall of 2012, the MBA program was launched on the newly acquired campus property. Thanks to generous donors, Immanuel now includes 25 acres, eight major facilities, paved roads, beautiful landscaping, over 400 current students, and over 650 alumni. Campus development continues as the school grows the academic programs and student body.
