The start of 2010 signals the end (Lord willing!) of our seminary education and preparation. If we stay on target, I will finish my Masters of Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary this December. So Heather and I have chosen Finish Strong as our life theme for this year.
When we came to DTS in 2007, we had a number of goals. As students of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, we wanted to complete seminary without taking any student loans. God has provided over the last three years as Heather and I have paid over $30,000 in cash for tuition and books. As we enter the final stretch, our savings have run out and we need your help.
To finish seminary debt free, we need $6,000 for this final year. But we know what a difficult time it is for so many of our friends and family who have suffered because of the recent recession.
So our idea was this:
If 100 friends
gave $10 a month
for 6 months
Then we would have the $6,000 we need to finish strong! These funds will be used for DTS tuition and will allow me to take upper level courses in Preaching, Pastoral Ministry, Bible Exposition, and Hebrew. Graduating from seminary debt free will allow us to fully and freely pursue God's call wherever He sends us - without worrying about how to pay off student loans.
We will also give 10% of everything we receive to Compassion International's Global Food Crisis Fund - and together we can feed four hungry children for one full year!
So would you help us Finish Strong today? You can subscribe to give $10 a month.
If you would prefer to make a one-time gift, you can donate below:
We also invite you to pray with us as we finish seminary and ask God what He wants us to do next. Its such an exciting time in our lives and we are thankful that you are a part of it!
We will keep you updated about our progress this year and let you know when we have reached our goal.
Thank you for praying for us and partnering with us to Finish Strong this year!
