Even if Hugo Cerrato ’27 never attended Cedarville as a student, the University would have had a lasting impact on him. As he neared the end of high school, Cerrato was struggling with what his future might look like. His sister was already a student at Cedarville, but paying a second tuition would be difficult for his family financially. One day, he listened online to a chapel service where Dr. Deforia Lane, a Cedarville trustee, sang a song to encourage students to entrust their plans to the Lord. The words became part of the wallpaper on Cerrato’s computer: “It's not in trying, but in trusting. It's not in running, but in resting. It's not in wondering, but in praying, that we find the strength of the Lord.” God used the song to work in his anxious heart. “I needed to hear those words,” Cerrato said. Through the kindness of donors, Cerrato was able to obtain enough financial help to attend Cedarville, where God’s work in his heart would abound. 20
