Students Support Nicaragua Mission
The seminary has been blessed by God and His people to have the resources needed to train men to serve God in the Office of Holy Ministry. This year the student association will send an offering to the Nicaragua mission, where we continue to see God's work in building His church in order that His love and mercy can be proclaimed to the people in that area. The student association collects an offering during the chapel service every Friday throughout the school year, giving the seminary community an opportunity to return a portion of what God and His people have faithfully and lovingly provided. The student body annually sends this offering to a mission in need of financial support.
