"We want to see more Christian leaders respond to God’s call to ministry.  It’s so important that these men and women are prepared for ministry without the burden of financial debt from their schooling.  We established a scholarship to help lift that burden from the Church’s new leaders."

A bit about us:  "We run a Century Farm in Sioux Center, IA with our family.  We are members of the First Reformed Church of Sioux Center, IA and our whole family has been blessed by the ministry of graduates from Western Theological Seminary."

"The church is important to us.  If you are going to build a church, you must build it upon Christlike leadership.  We see faithful teaching and training for mission taking place at Western Theological Seminary, and that is why we have supported this work for over 30 years.  Early on in our marriage we found great joy in giving, and we see the fruit of it as God continues to bless us with His grace."

A bit about us:  "We have been active RCA members in Grand Rapids, Livonia, and Charlevoix, MI, and we currently worship at Christ Memorial Church in Holland."
