I want the opportunity to attend seminary or a Bible institute so that I can obtain my ordination and advance the Kingdom of God on the mission field. Whether in this country or abroad, I have reached a point in my life where I am willing to forsake all (i.e., the "American Dream," including marriage, a family, and living a convenient, comfortable life) to spend the rest of my life in full-time ministry spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. I have been trying to return to school for at least 20 years and every time that I have been accepted into a program, I have been forced to decline the offer due to the lack of finances. I am believing that this year, particularly with the help of bold.org, everything will be different.
