Great Stories

The best way to understand the value of nurturing gifted and diverse young people for vocations in ministry and teaching is to meet them first-hand. In these pages, you'll get a chance to meet some very talented young men and women in the midst of answering God's call to pastor, teach or enrich theological education. You'll also meet a few of the pastors, friends and donors who are helping them explore their paths in this crucial, life-changing work. The stories of their lives are truly 'great stories' — the early chronicles of the next generation of leaders for the church.
