The Art of Giving

My two years at Nipawin Bible College were two of the best years of my life. I look back now and see how much I was challenged and grew in all respects. I was taught to think for myself and make my own decisions about the Bible. I learned the value of time and energy put into things. I dropped my self-conscious way of thinking that I had aquired in high school. I also came out of my shell and was myself at NBC. I had so much fun in my two years, maybe too much so. But most of all, I learned who I was in Christ and where I stand as a child of God. My relationship with God was kicked into high gear and I was taught to rely on God for everything. My faith was solidified.

I say all this because I know how important and impacting a place like NBC is. Dad would say the same thing, I have no doubt. His nine years of faithful service was a great example for me. Dad left such a legacy. His life was so entirely built around serving His Creator; it didn't matter where or when. His students loved him because of his passion for teaching and his concern for them to learn. He was always going out for coffee and visiting with students and staff alike.

NBC is quite a few thousand dollars short in this fiscal year's budget. And so I ask that you would consider donating in memory of my dad. I'm not asking this apologetically and I do not intend to leave you with feelings of guilt--not in the least. I know that you already have your financial commitments and donations you already make. But you know what, this is God's work! If you know you should give, then give.
