Cedarville Magazine, Spring 2021

Q How have you seen your investment in providing student scholarships make an impact? A Some people feel called to give to projects. We prefer to set up scholarships. In some ways, it is the gift that keeps on giving. It enables the students to receive a Christ-centered and -focused education. We have the privilege to meet with our scholarship recipients a couple times a year. It is great to hear their stories, their plans after graduation, and how the scholarship has helped them continue their education. Some recipients have received the scholarships over several years, so we have gotten to know those students better. Q Do you have any specific stories of students you’ve met who were impacted by your giving? A We recently started a scholarship for civil engineers who plan to use their degree for missions. One of the first recipients was a young lady who is a missionary kid. One of the countries where her parents served was in Central Asia, where our daughter and son-in-law served. I have been able to meet with her a couple times and hear her speak at the dedication of the Civil Engineering Center. Q You also serve on the Board of Trustees. From your perspective as a Trustee, what makes Cedarville University unique and worth supporting? A I am blessed to be on the Board of Trustees. I get to observe firsthand the humbleness of the leadership of the school and the determination to maintain high biblical standards, to educate the students who have been entrusted to us for their education. Q What would you say to someone considering giving to Cedarville for the first time? A Giving to Cedarville is one of the best investments that you could make. It enables students to attend Cedarville who may not otherwise be able to attend. It is a great joy to help develop young men and women into strong disciples who bring light into the darkness wherever God may place them after graduation.
