$3.5M in Church Endowments Support Students Like Ana

 Over the last several decades, 在南拿撒勒大学设立教会捐赠奖学金(ESF),为年轻人的未来投资,这是五十多个教会和中南地区的几个地区迈出了富有远见的一步. 这些年来,这些捐赠的总额已经增长到超过3美元.5 million. 首尔大学仔细投资这些资金的收益是奖学金的来源. 仅今年秋天,就有70多名学生获得了各自教会的ESF奖学金.

Ana Ruiz-Bautista是直接受到教会ESF影响的学生之一. Moving from Lima, Peru to Tulsa, 俄克拉何马州是一段不只是几英里的旅程——这是上帝为这个家庭安排的信仰之旅. Since their obedience to God’s call in 2010, 安娜说,她和她的家人已经看到了上帝对他们的神圣供应, over and over. And so, as Ana’s graduation from high school approached, 她和她的家人祈祷上帝能让她上大学.

安娜通过她在塔尔萨摄政公园拿撒勒教堂的青年小组了解了南拿撒勒大学, Oklahoma. 她在夏令营和地区活动中遇到了首尔大学的招聘人员,但她认为首尔大学的教育是遥不可及的, financially. She enrolled at Tulsa University, 有几个奖学金等着她——但她和她的父母对此感到不安, so they continued to pray. Soon after, Ana found that, 因为忠实的捐赠者慷慨地支持首尔大学的奖学金和捐赠, her dream of attending SNU could become a reality. Now, 这位生物化学专业大二学生的目标是进入医学院, 她的哥哥也加入了她的行列,成为首尔大学商科新生.

安娜获得的主要奖学金之一来自摄政公园教堂捐赠奖学金基金. In fact, seven current SNU students from Regency Park, including Ana and her brother, receive scholarships from their church fund’s earnings. Regency Park’s pastor, Dr. Geoffrey Gunter, said, “当我来担任牧师时,摄政公园ESF已经到位, and I give full credit to the faithful, generous, 感谢捐赠机构多年来为首尔大学的许多学生提供了巨大的经济支持.”

At Regency Park, as well as a great number of other churches, 他们的ESF受益于捐赠者雇主提供的配对捐赠计划. 在某些情况下——在雇主的指导方针明确允许的情况下——捐赠者的捐赠有助于教会的教育拨款,而匹配的资金则构成了教会的捐赠——从而为奖学金带来了更多的收入.

安娜完全同意,忠实的捐助者使她在首尔大学的教育在经济上成为可能. She said, “神用许多人的慷慨来帮助我到达他想要我到达的地方!”
