I know a missionary in Tanzania who among other things operates a training school for evangelists and native church planters. I think they have a small operation in Rwanda.

This would be devastating to them and the overall Christian church there, which is growing. I can’t put my finger on any part of scripture that requires a college degree to preach the Gospel.

You may recall the Bible account of the man with countless demons who Jesus delivered him of by sending the demons into a herd of wild pigs who then drowned themselves. That man became a huge evangelist of the truth of what happened to him to the people of his village. All without a college degree.

You must understand the savage nature of the African
It’s very deep and centuries old
Tribal customs. Wars of long ago
To require education among those that try and inspire others is essential
It’s morons is robes who convince other morons to genocide
It’s not the educated

I can’t put my finger on any part of scripture that requires a college degree to preach the Gospel.

The new law would pertain to setting up a faith-based organizations for profit, not preaching the Gospel (which was and still can be illegal in the United Kingdom, for example).

As for college, they were generally first established in order to train clergy. To assert that American colleges generally are no longer religious, and therefore college is unnecessary to train clergy, would be myopic.

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
