When considering Giving Tuesday and considering whether to give to a Christian university, partners have a unique chance to invest in something that extends beyond the classroom. At Manna University, we believe education is about more than earning a degree. It is about equipping leaders to discover their calling, develop their God-given abilities, and make a lasting impact in their churches, communities, and workplaces.
As the CFO of Manna University, I see firsthand how generosity strengthens our ability to fulfill our mission. Every gift represents an investment into Kingdom advancement for our students and their ministries. The gospel advances, churches are planted, and local church leaders are developed as a result of the generosity of partners investing in faith-based nonprofits like Manna University. I believe so much in this mission that my wife and I contribute monthly to the university. We consider it a joy to be a part of a Christian giving community focused on equipping the leaders that advance the gospel to the ends of the earth.
Many of our students are balancing their education with employment, family responsibilities, and ministry commitments. For many of these students, affordability may determine whether pursuing their educational goals is possible. Through university donations, generous supporters can help reduce financial barriers and provide opportunities for students who are preparing to serve wherever God leads them.
As the CFO, and a fellow donor of the university, I recognize the responsibility and the stretch that comes with every donated dollar. I take the stewardship of the resources given to Manna University seriously. This upcoming Giving Tuesday, December 1st, I invite you to consider the lasting difference your generosity can make through Manna University. Your gift can help make Christian higher education accessible to students here in North Carolina, in the United States, and around the globe. GIVE HERE
