Real Stories: How God Provided
for Our Students
Tom was serving as an assistant pastor in lngland, but felt God`s
call to come to seminary. Gordon-Conwell awarded him the Arnold
Scholarship for sz,ccc, but as an international student, he was not
eligible for most other hnancial aid.
When a former corporate executive at Tom`s church heard about his
passion for further studies, he volunteered to manage a fundraising
campaign. Te former executive built Tom`s list of contacts to over zcc
people, sending out leuers and meeting with potential supporters.
Tey raised s1c,ccc in ! months.
Tom doesn`t know exactly who gives each month, but he
communicates with hnancial and prayer supporters on a regular basis.
I{ yov |no+ soeone +o is on orgoni:er, os| e o gi+e +o ovrs o
on in oJinisroing gi]s."
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Liz worked at a church prior to coming to Gordon-Conwell and
was able to save up enough for one year of her education costs. Te
support of her church, as well as surprise hnancial gifs covered a
second year. Te rest has come from scholarships.
She received the Graham and Pierce Scholarships, totaling s1v,cc
over the course of three years. Te Presbyterian Church (USA) Lydia
Award for women pursuing ordained ministry provided another
s!,cc.
Tere is oney in Jenoinoiono| sdo|orsis, onJ ey ore |oo|ing {or
e+onge|ico| conJiJoes."
Because she completed four Semlink courses before matriculating, and
has managed a full course load, Liz will be able to graduate with an
M.Div. and a T.M. in three years. She has zero debt and did not have
to hnd a part-time job.
When her car was totaled and she needed a new one, someone in her
church handed her s1c,ccc. Random checks have come in the mail.
