Why I Support Global Scholars

“I have been interested in supporting missions since I first heard missionary speakers in high school. After college, I spent some time in Korea and saw university students involved in Bible studies. That experience helped me see that university students are the future, so I appreciate the mission of Global Scholars. I especially like being able to support people whom I personally know and trust and whose ministry I believe in.

For several years, I’ve given by making a monthly automatic payment on my credit card. But now, it’s great to be able to give directly from my IRA without having to pay taxes on what I am required to withdraw. It’s a blessing to be able to continue to give at this point in my life. I want my money to go where it can make the best contribution!”
